God is so GOOD

Psalm 27:14
Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.

Psalm 37:7
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

I took wise counsel back in December and I listened to that wisdom.  Last Thursday, I went back to the recruiters.  Decided I would pick a job just so that I could get benefits for school.  The Lord smiled on me.  He made the job I wanted pop up with the specialty specifications.  I accepted the job of Combat Medic with an emphasis on Health Care Specialist  aka LPN!  The job I was told there was not a way in HELL I was going to get.  I told them from the very beginning God would make the job available to me!  When my recruiter pulled up the jobs, his jaw dropped and he said "how did that come up".  At this point, we didn't know it had the kicker for the LPN.  So when he clicked on it to reserve it for me and saw that, He stated , "Some one must be looking out for you."   My thought was "NO REALLY?!!?  I instantly exclaimed," you are right GOD".

He really was looking down on me.  He lifted me up and he heard my cries and he knows the dreams and desires of my heart. He rewarded me for knowing it would happen just not right when I wanted it. God provides!   I am so grateful, so at peace and so excited to do the work the Lord has set before me.

I leave for BCT on June 7th!  Please keep me in your prayers that the Lord wraps a shield of love and protection around my family while I am away from them.

In May I also get to participate in the Ms MUDRUN.  This goes to help people that mean so much to me to be able to help friends of mine that are fighting this fight!  Please keep them in your prayers as well.

Oh Happy Day

Psalm 19[a]
    For the director of music. A psalm of David. 1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
   the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
   night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 They have no speech, they use no words;
   no sound is heard from them.
4 Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
   their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun.
 5 It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
   like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
   and makes its circuit to the other;
   nothing is deprived of its warmth.
 7 The law of the LORD is perfect,
   refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the LORD are trustworthy,
   making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right,
   giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the LORD are radiant,
   giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the LORD is pure,
   enduring forever.
The decrees of the LORD are firm,
   and all of them are righteous.
 10 They are more precious than gold,
   than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
   than honey from the honeycomb.
11 By them your servant is warned;
   in keeping them there is great reward.
12 But who can discern their own errors?
   Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;
   may they not rule over me.
Then I will be blameless,
   innocent of great transgression.
 14 May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart
   be pleasing in your sight,
   LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.



~ Oh what a wonderful Psalm!  It fits so perfectly. The Lord cares for us and he hears our prayers . I start school on Tuesday! a full 21 credit hours for the Spring Semester!  If I don't join the Army, I'll take Biology and Chemistry and then I'll take the 2 year nursing program.  In 3 years I will be a nurse. ( If this is the Lord's plan) I am so excited, and grateful! A great burden has been lifted from my shoulders.  God is so good and so merciful and mighty.
