What Now

Well yesterday I failed to get a job that I had been pinning a lot of hopes on. I didn't realise that I had been pinning my hopes on it until I didn't get it but it hit me hard. 3 months and only 2 jobs that I could apply for in Adelaide had taken its toll. The obvious question "God what are you doing ?" crossed my mind more than once and indeed it still does.

Yesterday God knew what was happening and he arranged for 3 close friends to be there for me, 2 quite unexpectedly. Thanks God! Here's what I realised:

I said to God that he could do whatever with my life when I became a Christian and I meant it.
God has a plan for my life. I may not know what it is but it is there.
God is not distant from me, He is with me every day desiring to bless me and sustain me.
What is happening may not be what I expected but it will be "good" in an eternal sense and in hindsight will probably be the starting point for something that will glorify God mightily.

The question remains though, what now ? Looking for Java work in Adelaide doesn't seem to be working so I need to do something different. I could either look for Java work somewhere else or look for something different in Adelaide. Both of these options have major drawbacks, many of them financial. In the end the deciding factor was my church. It just doesn't feel like I have finished what God has for me there after only 12 months. What with the music I am doing and the leadership training I am getting I have more to do there.

This means that I'm staying in Adelaide. Stay tuned for what He does next, I have the feeling it's going to be a wild ride. All I can say to that, to quote a friend of mine, is "bring it on!".
