Tragedies Turned Into Blessings
I am seeing God work in mysterious ways in my life right now. I'm starting to learn that even life's tragedies are the beginnings of God answering our prayers.
My prayer for a change in my life and wanting to come home and be able to work on my dreams was answered my God taking away my job and allowing me to collect unemployment. At the onset, looks like a tragedy. But turns out to be a blessing because He answered my prayer in a better way than I had planned. If I had quit my job, I would have no income.
I also prayed for my back to be healed, and then I got in a car wreck. Now I'm able to get frequent chiropractic adjustments for free, which I couldn't afford on my own. At the onset, a tragedy. But in the end, a blessing in disguise.
One by one, God is answering my prayers in the strangest of ways. He has been healing me at home in ways that He couldn't when I lived in Austin. My healing is being completed here. Austin did a good start, but it was beginning to be a hindrance more than a help, and God saw it fit to bring me home. I still miss Austin, but when I think of going back to my environment, I can't bear to think of leaving my current comforts. I know it won't last forever, and I don't want it to, so I'm enjoying it as much as possible.
I want God to take me overseas, but He has to prepare me first. I want God to find me a husband, but again, He has to prepare me first. He has to work out the kinks. I came here to live out my dreams, and even though things are going so slowly, I can see Him giving me a more meaningful life. I wanted a church home. I volunteered today for the Redeemed Ministries booth, and people are starting to get to know me at church. Even though things are going slowly and less glamorously, I am enjoying the slow process. I enjoy the slower pace of life, and I am still trying to recover from brokenness in my life. I need the love of my family close by and familiar, supportive friends. Even though sometimes I hate how slow my life is now, today He really showed me that good things are coming, and He is working out everything for my favor.
