Jon Acuff has been asking some hard questions during this experiment. I could use that as an excuse as to why I did not post yesterday. The truth the day got away from me. I got called to work and decided to make money rather than work on a blog post.
I'm a mobile notary which means I meet people and notarize stuff. The job has flexible working hours and I get to drive around beautiful western Oregon are a few of the perks of being a mobile notary. Since the hours are flexible it allows me time to pursue some of my other loves like blogging and working in politics.
Yesterday night I had a job in western Yamhill county. It took me about 1 and 30 minutes to drive to the job site. As I was driving through the beautiful Oregon countryside I began to have a panic attack. I don't have them often so I started to pray. I can't remember exactly what I said but I reached to God and asked for his help. It worked because I calmed down and I had an "ah" moment: when I really needed him God was there and he didn't ask anything for me. I've always know that deep down but it finally dawned on me.
So I get to the clients house and we go through the documents and I ask: may I use your bathroom (not a normal appointment question). Not a problem and when I go in right above the toilet I see the following written on a poster: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Phillipians 4:13"
Which in essence was my prayer in the car. It was another ah moment for me. I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. Not sure what God is/was trying to tell me but I have a feeling that it might be: you're going in the right direction keep going but check in with me once in a while. I can do that.
