It's been an interesting week. Started off with committing to reading God's word on a regular basis with one of the guys from Bible Study. So glad for that friendship by the way. Then went to church and talked to a few people. One family that I was hoping to be staying with for the next month. One person that I'm trying to meet up with. Then a couple others from Bible Study. Spent Monday AND Tuesday job searching and applying at ton's of places. Monday started out with me checking on applications I'd turned in the prior week. I ended up running out of gas in the middle of town. Had someone from church (of all the people to be driving past) stop and help me get gas in my car. Then finished checking on applications. I then continued to submit many other applications in town. Also found out I wasn't homeless later that day. God really provided for me there. Then Tuesday I checked on one application from the previous day and found out they had already hired people for all the open positions. Moving on, I applied to several other places around. Went to help my Bible Study leader pack up his moving van to get ready to leave for Florida. Ended up getting food for the rest of the week from him. Then God gave me a group of guys to chill with for the night. Then Wednesday, I had company over, had a great conversation with the girlfriend, and made a late night dinner. Thursday, wow. What to say. Got up early, read scripture, got online, moved out and moved into earlier mentioned family's house (aka the awesome Oates'), got an interview with Pennybacker's for tomorrow/today, went bowling, came back and hung with the awesome Oates', and now I can't sleep.
God is weird. He gives and he takes. I didn't go to a concert but gained a great conversation about God with the sig other, moved out and moved into new temp place, ran out of gas only to get a full tank, and God threw in a job interview for me after being essentially turned down at quite a few other places. What a week for experiencing God's grace and seeing God's plans and timing revealed in a way that can only bring glory to him. My lesson for the week might just be that living spontaneously with God in the lead is close to what it is to truly live to your full potential. Now if I can just do that more often and figure out specifics of life.
P.S. The apostle Paul is awesome! You should read about him. :)
