Contentment...

 Lately, I've been feeling quite discontent. Guess I've been disillusioned with unrealistic expectations after graduation...sad to say, I fell prey to the American dream. Was hoping that my 2 master degrees will lead to financially stability but God had greater lessons for me to learn.

He's been asking me:
Can you trust Me when you're currently making significantly less than your previous pre-grad school/secular employment life?
Do you believe that I have a plan for you when I called you to this little church near your house (with so many struggles and issues)...and that your ministry location is not Asia, but San Francisco?
Can you see that I'm developing your character by placing difficult ppl in your life?

Yes, that's what FAITH is all about...as a pastor friend puts it, it's Forsaking All, I Trust Him. It hasn't been easy, but there's nothing more exciting, more fulfilling, more meaningful in life than following Him.  Like Job, I need to repent in ashes because I don't deserve anything...yes, Lord...I trust in You.

zap!
school NEVER preps you for the REAL world of ministry. there ain't no fame to be had and in the end you probably wish you never started but that's the unbelieving you. the believer in you will keep soldiering on i know it annie. this ain't nothing to you, so it ain't what you dreamed or imagine ministry would bring you, trust in Him and He will bring you to a place and on a journey that you will never regret. i am glad in the end your response to trust in the Lord assures me that you are still ALL IN BABY! keep on keepin' on annie...ain't nothing in this world meant to be easy, without struggles and issues, if it were, i be doing it...

have you heard this one before....
do you know what makes God smile?
making plans for your life......
