Your words have really encouraged me in my current situation. Thank you for the reminder of hope and purpose in God and trusting that He is working things out in His own perfect timing. I will pray that I will allow myself to be open to his refining and his timing! Thank you so much for sharing your experience & insight. Your words have really encouraged me in my current situation.

I have been looking for work since August and have begun to be discouraged. But I realize I have to have my heart and mind open to new opportunities. I will pray today for guidance in my job search and in life. This devotion really speaks to me right now. I have been looking for work since August and have begun to be discouraged.

Beginning my day with your story was an awesome way to walk into the day, holding out my hands to see what I might grasp. Hopefully what I grasp will not be any Foucaultian panopticons, but joy, peace and deeper trust. Looking forward to seeing you in January:) Susan Dude!
