As I get ready to step onto the next stepping stone in my life's journey, I can't help but feel a little confused and discouraged. Don't get me wrong I am glad to have been given the blessing of a job and I have been making myself try to at least look for the silver linings and hidden treasures. However, the feelings of confusion and discouragement still cloud my perception. The job offers great benefits and has a good starting pay rate. Yet, when it seems like all your hard work and effort seems like a waste of time, it can be very discouraging. The stepping stone that lays in front of me is confusing as it does not coincide with the desires I believe God has placed in my heart. And still I feel forced to step upon it as extenuating circumstances don't leave me much choice. I feel like I am at a crossroad yet how can it be a crossroad if there is only one visible path to follow? So as I worry and ponder over this little predicament I hold to these truths:
Romans 8:28 And we know in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
John 14: 1 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me."
