Dylan had a fundraiser luncheon today for his upcoming mission to an orphanage in Mexico. I had already eaten lunch (donated tostadas from La Hacienda . . . yum!) and was getting ready to leave when I ran into a woman/friend that I rarely see. We spoke for just a couple of minutes when she told me how excited she was for me.
What? I cried myself to sleep last night, lady! Whatchoo talkin' bout?
I had simply told her that I was really, really needing a job and that I had a few applications out for a few different positions. And her response was enthusiastic excitement! She said, point blank . . . "I am so excited to see what God does and where he places you!" and reassured me that "God would fill the places between my resumé and a job offer with FAITH and HIS WILL"
Hmmm. Well that's a different idea that the "woe is me" approach that has been drowning me in depression and angst of late.

So today, amidst a high school ministry fundraiser and shuffling our children between church and basketball awards and pizza parties and church and friends and laundry and rain . . . I finally felt reassured. Now mind you, reassurance doesn't add $$$ to my bank account, but, it sure feels better than the hopelessness that I have become accustomed to of late.
Maybe, just maybe . . . the cloud is lifting. Please, thank you and amen!
