Happy Sabbath: Thanking God For The Simple Things

The Lord woke me up this morning. That is my testimony today. I had a wonderful week at my new job and the people in my life continued to be supportive even as things are becoming more confusing for me to manage. I thank God that He has my back in all of this.

I was able to get to work every day on time, finish my orientation trainings (which are a lot), set up binders and a calendar system to maintain productivity, and respond to my first work related call with no blunders.  Now next week, I expect to get out with my supervisor and test the real waters. I know God is with me and won't leave me to failure so long as I remember who I am working for. Learning to rely on God and less on myself is taking away anxiety for me and for that, I am grateful.

I also learned there is an opportunity for me to go to France with my son in December, and Williamsburg, VA in October. Of course I'll have to get the passport renewals sooner than I anticipated and I would chop into my travel savings accounts, but such vacations don't come often for me. Those are things I need to pray about as conflict is under all of that.

One of the days that I was off between the switch of employers, I decided to take my sister and son to King of Prussia mall and ended with a moment in the woods. Because nature is more beautiful than shopping at a gorgeous mall sometimes. This was her first time visiting this wooded park that I camped in last month and we walked almost all of the trails before the inevitable happened when one allows someone who can't follow GPS signals to lead.

It happened when I was telling her we needed to head left. We went left and suddenly deer came into view and spooked us. We ended up going right she held the GPS while I carried my son and although we ended up walking the entire peninsula unintended, there were some gorgeous sights to behold. God is so good and makes the most beautiful things. Creatures were grouped in their own territories throughout the woods. The deer had their place. These strange but fun moth creatures had theirs. Cotton tail rabbits were in the high grass, and I caught sight of a beautiful little island out along the western part of the peninsula that I never thought I'd venture. There were little bridges placed on different trails and no bees/hornets to ruin our adventure. I would love to visit this place in autumn.

It's such a beautiful day. Happy Sabbath everyone :)
