Answered Prayers

On July 23 2010 I wrote the following, a lot has changed since then. I am no longer driving a truck. That would come to an end in less than 10 months from this date. God would in time give me a job that I could focus more on my ministry with. It was good to look back today on this event of 5 years ago and see how far God has brought me. So below is a note called Answered Prayers.
There comes a time in one's life when they are confused and not sure what they want. They may think God wants something else and is trying to lead them in a different direction, but in reality you yourself may be wanting something else and change is not in God's plan at the moment. The last few weeks have been an emotional toll on me first with the passing of my grandfather, the closing of our terminal in OKC, not believing that PAM would do us right. I felt as though I was lied to with the uncertain future of my current job. However I've been praying for something that God would open doors to a job that will allow me to pursue my ministry that I have been called to. If I was going to take a new job I would lose my 3 weeks paid vacation a year plus the other time I'm allowed off it would be a lot to give up. But God said He will never leave us more forsake us and that he would give was the things we need if we seek first the kingdom of heaven. True to His word he answered my prayer and I did not see it at first. Even as I was still complaining about how the company was treating me and that there was no future there for me, this new lane I'm on allows me to be home every other night plus three day weekends Friday through Sunday one week and Saturday through Monday the next. Every other week I'll be able to attend Wednesday night services. We as a company got our 5% pay cut back that went to effect June of 2009, plus I just received a raise and the income I'll be making is very sufficient for what I will be working I thank God and give Him the glory for these blessings.
 Little did I know at the time I wrote this that the lane I was given would not last long and soon I was back to being gone more than I was home. The events of the next few months would prove that God was calling me away from driving a truck and into a different type of career that in itself I practice my ministry. I will be sharing more of these type stories as I go along.
