I wrote my post yesterday without thinking. I noticed that whenever I wrote I always found myself looking up verses in the Bible and I wondered if God was trying to tell me something. So, I prayed for God’s guidance. A few years ago, when I prayed for guidance, I didn’t find my way for a few years, but today after praying for guidance several opportunities fell into my lap all at the same time.
I have been trying to get a tutor job working, I have been trying to apply to an online university, I’ve wanted to submit a non-horror story, and I wanted to find help with my writing. After weeks of working and not having much happen, in one day, I submitted a non-horror story for publication, I found help with my writing, I applied for a job with an online university, and I finally got the clearance to start the training for the tutor job that I have been trying to get set up.
I know that when I pray, God doesn’t grant wishes. He isn’t like Santa Claus. Prayer changes me, but I also believe that God gives me signs to let me know that I am on the right path. I have been feeling scared and unsure the last few weeks. I don’t know sometimes if I should dive straight into my new career without abandon or if I should keep all my options open so that I’ll have a backup plan.
I’ve been writing about faith the last week. I’ve written that I need to just take a leap of faith and not worry about what happens because God will be with me. I started working on my writing started Monday and decided that I would write two novels this year and finish up my rough draft as well. As soon as I took a leap of faith and believed that God would be there for me that’s when I got all these signs telling me I was on the right path.
I don’t know what will happen now. I might even fail, but it doesn’t matter. What matters is that I took a step into the unknown and had faith in God. Now, no matter what happens, I’m know I am a better person for taking that leap of faith.
My faith saved me. May God’s peace reside in all of our hearts.
