Temp-job

A few days ago I received my official acceptance to YWAM. I'm continuing to prepare for my trip with prayer.

After connecting with two temp agencies and waiting for almost almost a month I have a temp job. I'm working at a local insurance company in Mission Viejo. I learned an important lesson though during that time.

I was so adamant about getting a job. I wanted to feel like I was doing everything to support my trip. A friend of mine though pointed out that God might not want me to have a job yet. It may be that He wanted me to use this time to prepare me. I knew if He wanted me to have a job He could provide me one. I surrendered this to God in prayer and He answered. About a week after that my temp agency told me they had a job for me.

Turned out that it was about a couple of miles away from my Nana. We have lunch together everyday. I believe God wanted me to have this particular job because it was close to where she lives and He knew I would miss her.

God has really blessed me through so many people. I've received so much support and just wanted to say "Thank you!" once again to those of who are praying for me and who have supported my trip financially.

Two more weeks...Almost there!
