MORE PLEASE!

After writing last night about God giving us what we need and how He often gives us what we want too, I got to thinking, WOW is there a LOT I want! I was called today and offered the job position that I applied and interviewed for with the county library here. After saying yes, I got to thinking, is this really what I want, is this what God is showing me to do? I mean it puts me working when Chris is off work, it's only part time, and it will be just working the circulation desk (a fraction of what I did at the La Veta Library). Will I like it, will I get bored....all of these many things are racing through my mind, when I finally stopped myself and realized.....

THIS IS WHAT I ASKED FOR!!!!!!!!!!

Me, what I asked for! A job and I got it, so why on earth am I letting my mind wander and think but but but (whining like a child who hasn't gotten their way)!!!!

So as they say I am going to put on my big girl panties! And taking this opportunity for all it's worth! I mean I can work less than full time, fill up my car, fill my belly, pay my bills and have a little extra to go with it. Besides, HELLO I have a wedding to plan, that takes time!!! God indeed does give you exactly what you need, and a lot of what you want.

Red Pants

God does not ask much of us but there is one thing He asks us to do with all our hearts, minds, and souls and that is to LOVE Him. I would think the next greatest thing He asks of us is to trust Him. I know that not many of us can trust those we " know" so why on earth would we trust in one we cannot see? What  I  do know is that when you start to trust, that's when all the blessings start to pour down.
I was reminded today of a story a friend told me once. She said when she was a teen all she wanted was a pair of red pants! I know I know you're thinking silly, red pants really? Well she did, and she prayed for those red pants. Long story short, she got the red pants. And if I remember correctly, she was actually given the red pants as a hand me down and they fit perfectly :)
I guess my point is, that God, even when we don't know how to trust completely gives us everything we need and oftentimes some of what we want, even if it is just a pair of red pants.
