It is down to the last two days of this first challenge and it is my aspirations. Right now it is just getting a job and coming to really knowing Idaho is home. The job thing is frustrating and today got another rejection call. It brings back those emotions of being so far away from my family, having to move away from a place I really loved living and leaving a job I liked.
I am just trying to hold onto "Trust in the Lord with all your might, lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight."Proverbs 3:5-6 I know He brought us here, there are no coincidences and the fact is Dennis was able to get a good job doing what he really wanted to do and his daughter lives in the same town we do. So I know God brought us here and He has the perfect job out there for me so I have to just keep looking to Him. And to accept and know this is my home. However both these things I need to know with my heart and not my head and I realize I am not there. I will keep praying for wisdom through this storm and trust Him as He takes me through this.
There is a book called "Hinds Feet In High Places." by Hannah Hurnard that is allegory of a Christian devotional life. It follows the journey of Much-Afraid in her journey from her Fearing family to the High Places of The Shepard guided by her companions Sorrow and Suffering. It's title comes from Habakkuk 3:19 "The Lord God is my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds' feet, and He will make me to walk upon mine high places." I have read it a couple of times and I believe it is time to read it once again.
