Not I, But Christ

I am so grateful for the promises of God.

Packing all my belongings (clothes, pictures, a t.v. and a lamp) and moving to a new city was a really awesome idea, until I was sitting alone in my apartment after a horrible first day of work. I thought to myself, "I'm not going to make it" and I started to worry about what would happen if I failed. I thought about how my mother was right, I should have played it safe and lived in San Antonio. I was sure I was going to be fired from my job, evicted, and leave Austin thousands of dollars in debt. Then I remembered: "I will never leave you nor forsake you", "Do not be afraid, I am with you, wherever you go".

I belong to God.

He holds my entire life in His hands, and nothing will happen to me that doesn't slip past his fingers. Then all the fear washed away. So what if I get fired? So what if I fail? The Lord is on my side and he has promised to work all things for good for those who love Him. I love Him. Done.

Whatever happends here happens to bring Him glory.

I went to work and on my last day of training I made a killing in tips, which I had to give all to my trainer. My first day on the job, I made peanuts and my car broke down. This is the day that the Lord has made.
