Sorry Blog world!!!! I know its been a very long time since I’ve updated my blog, and for that I am extremely sorry!!!!!
My life has been full and extremely busy the past few months. To update you real quick on whats going on in my life, I will make this quick.
After resigning at the Firehouse in late September, I took a few months off (no work.. no nothing..). Just me and the beach! Haha just kidding! Around late November, I took a part-time job working at a church daycare in the afternoons. Working only a couple of hours a day was a good transition back into the working world. Just before Christmas, the daycare offered me a fulltime position working in the 3-4 year old room, and I accepted. Now to be completely honest with all of you, I had been extremely angry with where I was at. I went from working at a fulltime prayer ministry, to putting kids in time-outs, and walking them to the bathroom so they could “potty!” I had many long conversations with the Father about where He was/is taking me, and why.
The more that I work at this daycare, the more my heart is tenderized towards the Father. Now mind you, I didn’t see it this way for quite some time because I chose not too, but that changed (Thank God!!!). Its is amazing to see the parallels between our spiritual life and children. When I get to work, I sign in and walk into our classroom, and I’m instantly met with “Jo!, look what I built” or a “I missed you!” … and one morning as I was receiving my morning greetings, I began to think about how each morning when we wake up, the Father is looking for His morning greeting as well. We are His children and how He looks forward to each glance from us.
I am working Monday thru Friday and enjoy my weekends with family and friends. Now seasons come and seasons go, and who knows how long I will be at the daycare or if God will plant me somewhere else. In the meant time, I am learning to be patient with Him, and with myself as well. Trusting Him through the seasons is hard, but those days of transitioning between seasons is where faith comes into play. Its hard, but so rewarding. We know that He leads perfectly!!!!
As I begin to update my blog more, I’m sure that you will see quite a few more parallels from my workplace to our spiritual lifestyles. We can learn a lot by watching children. God, give us faith like a child!
