365 Questions-August 27

What do I know to be true today about myself that I didn’t know a year ago?

A year ago there were a few things that I didn't know, but I'm gong to have to say is that God has not forgotten about me (smh here comes the tears already). Being back in Augusta, I expected to be a lot further in my career here. To be frank, I don't have a career here. I literally am taking jobs for the sake of having a job. It's not anything I want to do seriously. Wait---I take that back. My part time job is something that I truly enjoy, but my full time positions--they're not anythingI would do for a living ever in life. I felt like God had forgotten about me or He felt like He wasn't going to do anything else for me. I got so frustrated because I worked my butt off through 4 years of college to not be able to find a job when I was working in state government position right before I came back here. 

The truth of the matter is God has not forgotten about me. He has been preparing me through all of this. If you remember the words to "Greater is Coming" by Jekalyn Carr, she said you had to go through the shaking, the beating, and the pressing for the oil to flow. God is really working on me. It's easy to praise God when everything is going well. It's easy to trust God when you don't have anything wrong going on. God is making it so that I know exactly who He is. I don't have to know by what I heard. I'll know Him by what I've been through. Even though everything hasn't gone the way I wanted it to, He still knows my name. He still is working everything out for me. I'm not forgotten.
