A V 8 MOMENT

Plans have a way of changing on what I wanted to say on this post. I want to thank everyone who make comments to what I have to ramble about. Wonderful words concerning my graduation and looking for a job, as well as other words of encouragement. One blog friend commented that maybe God had plans for a ministry. I could have put it off but that comment is the third stated to me by different individuals in different situations. Each time I state yes sounds good, but I have a large student loan to pay off. What a lame statement on my part. No thought that God will find the funds, which He can and will as soon as I ask Him.

Then another beautiful women said, pray for the boss I would have when I found a job. That hit me on the head just like the V8 commercial. The concept had never entered my mind. I then began remembering other bosses and realized that I am compelled to pray for a person I have no idea who it is. Pray has no boundaries. I begin today.

This past fall I realized to stop praying about what I wanted and say "Your Will Not Mine". My pray now is God what you want me to do I will do it and know that You will be with me through it all. I know the answer to my pray of 14 years ago is still being answered and I can not wait for what you have in store for me. The year 2008 that is a few days away is the beginning of the rest of my life. All my blog friends please pray that I keep my eyes on God and not of this world we live in. Thank You

Good Morning Joyce,
This is such a powerful post. It is so easy to get off track and ask GOD for what WE want. HE knows our every need and wants. He provides them for us in HIS time and not OURS. We must focus on GOD each and every minute of the day. GOD will find the right job and boss for you in his time. He will also see to it that the student loan will be paid off as well. "THANK YOU" for sharing this powerful post. PRAYER IS "POWERFUL". Take care my friend and have a great Saturday. May God Bless You and Yours.

Hugs,
Karen H.
I do hope your voice is getting better today.

Lovely post Joyce. I continue in prayer for you daily.Sometimes waiting on the Lord is the hardest part. But it is ALWAYS worth it. Enjoy your New Year celebration. We are staying home.

Name

What Joyce Means
You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you. You never give up, and you will succeed... even if it takes you a hundred tries. You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

Heart

Your Heart is Red and Green
Your heart is serene and peaceful.
You are down to earth, laid back, and secure in who you are.
You bring strength and sanity to relationships.
You're good at communicating and working through problems.
