Trusting God

There are those times in life when you see and hear God all around you, and then there are those times when He seems to far away. The past few months, to me, God has seemed far away. Something happened yesterday….one of those “God moments”….that reminded me that God is here with me that this path we are traveling is His will.

I had begun to wonder if we are on the right path…living in the right area (it’s so expensive here!)…. Working at the right job (it’s kind of stressful)…sending the kids to the right school (public school is free!)…and yesterday, God said to me….yes, I want you here.

I received a call from the Church on the Rock, where Sierra and Gabriel go to school. The second tuition payment is due (they separate it into three payments). I got a chill and wondered how we can make this work. Then, not even two hours later, my manager came to me and said that I was going to receive a bonus for this quarter. One of the largest bonus’s I’ve received in the two years as a researcher here; the exact amount to cover the tuition for school.

That is a God moment. One of those things that happen that I know He is speaking directly to me, reassuring and comforting me, letting me know that while this time is difficult, I can always know that if I stick with it, and don’t look for the easy way out, that He will provide for our needs.
