signs of life

The Mercy Seat

For those of you who actually read this, I apologize for the lack of update. Life has been moving at the speed of God with no real down time. Well… I’ll give a readers digest of the update…

I ended my job at NGS, the Medicare contractor at the end of March. It was just time to move on. I miss the people, but I know that God has more for me than government. I went immediately to Zent Consulting, a door which closed quickly. A week before ending NGS, I was told that the longevity of Zent wasn’t what it was pre-cancer for Greg, the president. At least from my area. It’s still productive - just was time for me to move. Wasn’t expecting that. I moved into Broadripple, an arty district of central Indianapolis. About 15 mins away from downtown and/or everywhere in Indy. It’s great. Diverse buncha nice people live here. And theres a starbucks right down the street. I’ll take pics soon…

I had an interview on monday the 7th - i think that was the day… at Main1Media. It went GREAT… but when the offer came - God said, no.. i have something better… Don’t ask me to explain why, because I cant. There’s no tangible reasoning to why the answer was no. And that is ok with me. His word is his word.

I made that move on the 13th. I was “unemployed” but God gave me work - at Zent.. which was such a blessing. Friday, the 17th was my first day of being “unemployed” but AGAIN he provided work for me to do from Mason. It’s turning out just like He planned.. nothing short of excellent. I have been sending out resumes, etc.. but nothings coming back - but I know that God is ALWAYS faithful, and ALWAYS my provider. mmm makes me smile just thinking about it.

I stumbled upon this analogy (stumbled.. ha God placed it in my lap) about life being safer inside the boat as opposed to walking on water. Well, the past weeks have shown me that TRULY life is safer and more exciting outside the boat - on the water- closest to Jesus.

If you feel like youre at a stand still in life.. same thing day after day after day… ask God to bring you outside the boat- He wont do it until youre ready, but the willingness is what hes looking for. If you have a willingness to be willing… Oh baby, He’ll run with it.

Take joy into today - He gave it to you with purpose.
