The Provision in Graduation

Well, it's been awhile since I've blogged. A lot has happened since last post. 

I have a contracted engineer position secured at Whisper Studios in Kokomo pending I find clients (so if you know anyone, send me my way!)

Iota Chi hosted Beta Province Day which really means we were in charge of setting up a day for about 120 SAIs. It was crazy. Awesome. But crazy. 

Graduation is less than a month away and it is very stressful trying to wrap up the end of the year and this chapter of my life. 

It is a huge answered prayer that I now have a job, in my field, secured after graduation. Like, woah. But really. Woah. 

Since Wednesday I have been continually thanking god for this huge provision but I was weary about where I should move. 

Tonight at the Ryan Furr album release show, during worship I was reassured that I should move to Kokomo. This is a huge relief because now I know where I should move. 

If it is God's will He will make a way. So now, I need a job to pay the bills until my recording picks up. I am praying for unfailing trust, something that has been hard for me, in addition to patience. 

Until today, I had cried every day this week. Some good tears, some tears of agony and distress, and some out of praise and joy. This week more than ever before I've began to understand the power of our great God. 

I have seen how He opens doors that you never thought could be opened. He provides all you can need. 

As far as moving to Kokomo, I have an appartment that I am very interested in, lay job at Whisper Studios, and the luxury of being 1 hour from my man and bestfriend as well as an hour and a half from home, not to mention living in the same town as my dad during the week! Huge blessings. 

Tonight I am in awe of my faithlessness and His faithfulness through my doubt. I am constantly reminding myself in this season of graduation and separation and life changes that "it's not about me". Every time I have freaked out or cried about graduation and moving on it was because "I won't see so and so" or "I won't be able to.." And then yesterday when I was crying none the less, I just thought "it's not about you!" 

If I thought graduating high school was scary or hard, graduating college is literally unlike anything you've ever experienced before, which is scary. Overwhelming actually. The education system you've known for the last 17 years is no longer your routine. Your life no longer runs August- May. You don't have summer vacation. It's going to be an interesting change, one that feels too soon, but a change that now more than ever I'm trying to have faith in my God that he walks beside me and carries me through when I can't walk. 

God is faithful. Through graduation I'm learning how to better live for and worship Christ.
