Providence.

Sometimes I can't help but smile in awe of God's providence. He has spookily great timing.

Literally seconds ago I was typing up this very very ranty post about the mess in my head since the beginning of this month. It got heaps worse since last night with the "Intern Allocation Night" - everyone asking everyone else where they're going to go next year. So where do you want to go? Well, do you know if you want to specialise? Do you want to move out or do you just want to go somewhere local? Do you want to stay in NSW or work interstate?

There's only so many times a person can say "I don't know" before the panic sinks in.

So anyway, here I am, Friday afternoon, Googling up the hospitals, the intern pay rates, rent prices of different places, the AMSA careers info stuff, wondering if I should do a DipEd or BA in Journalism instead... pondering, stressing, freaking out....

Then the Gmail envelope turns blue on the bottom righthand corner.

From someone I haven't spoken to in months. The last person I'd expect to email me.

My dear Gracie, there’s much we don’t know in life. That’s so true.

For me, in these times of doubt & uncertainty, it does, as you say, come down to a question of trust.

Trusting that God is good and loving.

Trusting that God is sovereign, knows our future and has a plan for us.

Trusting that God is working in our lives to complete a good work in us.

Trusting that ours is a God who reveals his plan to his children… in his time.

We often already know all these truths inside out… but to hang onto them on a cloudy day seems.. just not enough.

But it is.

And we want to trust in him.. anything or anyone else would be too insecure and scary.

You cannot walk out of his will Grace as long as you take every step with Him in your heart.

I pray that the Spirit will enable to you to block out any unnecessary worldly pressure and fears that may cloud your judgements.

Let’s keep persevering with joy and transcending peace, dear sis!

Where did the email come from? How did she read my mind?

Times like this God just takes my breath away... okay God I'm listening. Thanks.
