He is in the waiting

God has been reminding me that he is in the waiting.  God is still with me in the times of waiting he is still working in my life.  He is still showing me that he has a plan for my life.
God has showed me he loves me and cares for me in the waiting.  He is still passionately pursuing me.   His presence goes before me all day in all that I do.  I was reading me Hebrews today of Jesus knows our struggles and what we do through.  This shows how much God loves and cares for us.
Lastly, God has been using other ministry leaders to show me God has a plan for my life.  Even when a position does not work out ministry staff leaders are still encouraging me.  Also, those I am interviewing with are encouraging me in finding a ministry position.

God is sovereign and still moving

God has been reminding me that in the midst of waiting he is still moving in my life and he is in control.  When I was seeking out possible connections on Wednesday, the Association director from the Conroe Baptist Association called me and said he is sending my resume to a guy he knows in the San Antonio area.  The position that he sent my resume for I am not sure of.  He just said it was Youth/ Family Ministry related position.  This instance just reminded me that God is still in control and moving in our lives even when we are waiting on his direction.  Sometimes when we do not know where God wants us we just have to trust God knows what is best for us.
The story of Joseph and his brothers reminds me of how God is in control in all of our circumstances in life.  When Joseph was thrown down in the pit by his brothers, God was still in control.  When the cupbearer told Pharaoh that Joseph could interpret dreams and he told Pharaoh back his dream, God was still in control.  In Genesis 50:19-20, Joseph acknowledges God is still in control in all circumstances in his life.  He says, "Don't be afraid? Am I in the place of God.  You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good, to accomplish what is being done, the saving of many lives.  So then, don't be afraid.  I will provide for your children."
In whatever circumstance we are in, we have to remind ourselves that God is in control and still working.  God has a plan even if we do not see it at the time.

God is sovereign over all

God is sovereign over all things in our life.  He is sovereign over jobs, life, family situations, and elections.  Sometimes we do not think God is in control over certain things in life.  We have to remind ourselves that God is still in control.  God can and will move we just have to trust in his timing in our life.
In Ephesians 1, Paul talks about how God's purpose is sovereign over all things. Ephesians 1:11 says, we also having obtained an inheritance according to his purpose who predestined according to his purpose who works all things after the counsel of his will."   James 4:12 talks about how the Lord wills we will do this or that, when describing God's sovereignty when making plans.  Psalm 93:1 talks about how God is sovereign in his majesty over all the heavens and earth.  Revelation 4:11 discusses God's sovereign over creation.
In another aspect, God is sovereign over his power.  In Psalm 115:3, it says "God is in the heavens, he does whatever he pleases."  In Daniel 4:35,  Daniel talks about how God does whatever he wills.   Also, God is sovereign over all the seas and earth in his power.  Psalm 135:6 says, "Whatever the Lord pleases he does, in Heaven and Earth, in the seas and the deeps."
I have to remind myself God is sovereign over everything at times.  Even in this crazy election season, God is sovereign.  God is still in control and working in our life.
