the sermon at church today was about how before God can part the red sea in our lives, we have to take a step of faith. even moses had to. and i learned this about two weeks after i took that step. ah, the irony.
what was my step? i signed up to volunteer at both hope lodge (for cancer patients) and crisis ministries (a homeless ministry) here in charleston. why was that a step? because the day before i was contemplating moving back home with my parents (and when i say contemplating i mean that my parents were about to force me to) and working at a job making $$$$.
the very next day i got an offer to babysit in hilton head for 3 days. done. the next day my roommate asked me if i could take another babysitting job for her. done. then a few days later i got a call about overnight babysitting for a family at new day. done. i finished all three of these and got another overnight job from the family at the church. provision? yeah, i'd say so.
i have my rent for the rest of the summer taken care of already. and there's another job for the church sitting during a parent's teaching class for the next six weeks.
the coolest thing about all this is that it's been so fun. i've been having crazy times with the Lord like never before, and gotten to talk to/pray for people i never thought i would. man, He's so, so, so good. jeremiah 29:11 is basically stalking me at this point. and i believe it.
(since He already knows the plans He has for me, i've been talking to Him about what i'm going to do when i graduate and guatemala keeps coming up. i'm totally psyched.)
