Day 174: Keeping the Faith

I have been really worried about the possibility that I would not have a job after the first of the year. I wasn't sure what was going to happen and have been waiting for the principal to tell me if I would have a job. I have been a wreak about it and worried that I would not have anything to help me get my credential and in turn not be prepared for when we do eventually get out of the Army. It has been eating away at me for the past week and there was nothing I could do about it but pray.

Well, after praying about it and leaving it to God to lay out my path, I found out from the principal today. She told me that I will have my job come the first of the year, for the rest of the school year, as long as they let her keep the position. When I found that out, it made my whole day better because I knew that my faith helped me through this. Once I gave it to God and decided to pray about it and not try to control it myself, I stopped being so anxious because I knew whatever happened, whether I had a job or not, my family and I would be okay. The best part is that I will be able to have one day off here and there so I can have time to run errands and do appointments during a school day. So, it really did solve all my anxieties. I will still have a job, and will also be able to get a day off to have time to myself. I am so grateful and blessed.

I have to look at what I have and know that God is good. My husband is safe and I am able to talk to him often. My kids are all healthy and I still have my job. My days are ticking down one by one, and despite where my husband my be, we are blessed just by having each other and knowing we have a best friend to share our lives with.
