These past few days have been really neat days and I am excited to finally have some pieces finally fall into place. I have been very much concerned with my volunteer placement for school. I was supposed to start this placement by October this year but I have not started until today. I was worried (and still kinda of am) [realizing that did say worry and knowing that not supposed to do such] that will not be able to get my hrs done in time but at least I am started. I am volunteer who is matched with an elderly person that is in what is called "social isolation". Basically I am a friend to talk you and get to know. I started praying for the person that I was going to be matched with because I have no previous experience working with elderly people so i really had no idea what to talk about or what to do. I prayed that I would be able to talk with person about my faith and that i would be able to share that part of my life with them.
My boss was explaining to me that I was matched with several different people and all of them cancelled on me. Then they thought of someone who was a perfect fit. This person also happened to have a deep faith and the reason that we were matched was because of this interest. When I got this email it was amazing because it literally was an answer to prayer.
Other small things, like funny little events that make me smile and vs. that have been sent to me from friends have been really uplifting and encouraging.
So to be honest, I am happy. Now I know that for myself that this happiness is indeed dependent on circumstance, something that I need to work on. As a Christan I should be able to have Joy in the worst of circumstances. Now I do understand that happiness and joy are different but if you want to check out what I mean by all of this, read the book of Philippians and then think of Paul's situation.
Anywho I am excited that God has answered my prayer and in spite of my pitiful attempts to connect with him he is constantly pursuing me
