I have not been blogging so much lately but this is about to change! I am changing jobs soon which will give me more evenings at home to blog, along with the fact my husband will be working lates, so I need something to keep me busy in the evenings when he isn't here!
I have a testimony to share about what God has been doing in me lately. I have been looking for a new job within nursing for several months and then finally, two jobs came at once that I was interested in. I applied for both and decided to see how it went. I was offered one job and was given the weekend to make the final decision, yet the second job I had applied for I had passed the first interview stage but was waiting to hear if I would get through for the actual interview. The second job was the one I really wanted but I didn't want to refuse the first job and then not get an interview for the second job because then I would have missed out on both opportunities. I spent that weekend in turmoil. Both jobs had their positives and negatives and I really didn't know what to do. Everyone kept telling me to pray but I was praying and still didn't feel any better. Anyway, the Monday morning came and going to work I still wasn't sure what decision I was going to make but for some reason saying yes to this first job didn't quite feel right, even though on paper this probably appeared to be the job that would give me the most training and varied experiences. I refused it and later that afternoon got offered an interview for the second job. What a relief! I then got offered the job and knew at once this was right, this was the job God was calling me to and I said yes!
I was praying and felt like God wasn't speaking to me but He was. It's in these times, where we're not quite sure what to do that we need to listen to those small whisperings in our spirit. Those whisperings are God. Paul and myself have learnt this the hard way. There were a few instances where we didn't listen to our spirit and things didn't turn out right. We vowed from then on to always listen to those small whisperings and have faith not only in God but in ourselves, trusting that we knew when God was speaking to us.
Luke encourages us to have faith in the small things because when the big things come we know we will have the faith that's needed to get through.
'If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones...' Luke 16v10
Learn to hear those whisperings and learn to trust not only God, but also yourself. Believe in yourself that you know when God is speaking to you. Trust in God that He does speak to you and that He provides all that is needed in every circumstance and situation, whether small or large.
