This week I picked Awesome God. During the everyday trials of life, we can get bogged down and forget that God is in control and HE is an Awesome God!
Awesome God
When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just puttin' on the ritz
(our God is an awesome God)
There is thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fist
(our God is an awesome God)
Well, the Lord wasn't joking
When He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason that He shed his blood
His return is very close and so you better be believing
that our God is an awesome God
REFRAIN
Our God(our God) is an awesome God
He reigns(He reigns) from heaven above
With wisdom(with wisdom) pow'r and love
our God is an awesome God
And when the sky was starless in the void of the night
(our God is an awesome God)
He spoke into the darkness and created the light
(our God is an awesome God)
Judgment and wrath he poured out on to Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten that
our God is an awesome God
Refrain x3
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
(Our God is an awesome God)
(Our God is an awesome God)

Thankful Thursday
Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
~Colossians 3:15-16
Is it Thursday already? I've been so busy looking for a job that I have neglected to come and post this week.
So what are you thankful for this week? My list is long, here are a few of them:
I am a child of the Living God. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour. My God loves me (and you) enough to allow me (and you) to come to Him through His son, Jesus. What joy I have in my life because of this. His love, mercy, and grace, fill my soul with joy each day. I remember when I first "really got that"....my first comment was "How can you not be excited about the love Jehovah has for each and every one of us? Doesn't it make you want to sing and dance?" Kind of like David when he danced as the Ark of the Lord was brought into the city. (2 Samuel 6)
I am thankful that I belong to such a loving, caring church. Our family is very small. But each person is filled with love and care for others. Each person has been praying for me for the past week. Each has encouraged me for the past week. Having no one else in town except my hubby and his children, they have replaced my biological family. I can count on each and every person no matter my need, and they can rely on me as well.
~Romans 1:12~
I'm eager to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours. In this way, each of us will be a blessing to the other.
I am thankful that the Lord brought such a loving, caring man into my life. I know I've said this before, but I still thank the Lord every day for my husband, after eight years it is still a blessing to have someone who truly loves me, cares for me, and encourages me. I can't tell you the difference this makes in my life. Having been on the true opposite side of this type of life, I pray I never forget how truly blessed I am.
Last (for this blog) is I'm thankful that my Lord has provided for us! I have been offered a new job, beginning next Friday, November 7. That day will be an orientation day, and I will begin work the following Monday,November 10. Of course the pay is low, but you cannot expect to walk into another job making what it took you six years to get at another. It's full time work and it's permanent. (providing I make it the full 120 day probation.) Fairly easy. Answering incoming calls at a local call center. I believe it's mostly answering questions about products and taking orders. Pretty much up my alley. I've done the call center thing before - (1) for a government insurance company (2) a hotel reservation center. Hubby is excited because there won't be anymore lifting, stooping, and bending. Less stress on my neck/back. (for those that don't know, I have two herniated discs) I'm just excited because I have a job.

Monday
Today I had an interview for what I thought was a position in the pharmacy for a discount store. My entire experience answers the question "What ever happened to customer service?" I walked into the store ten minutes early for my appointment, stopped at the customer service desk (where I was told to "announce myself", only to hear "she's not holding any more interviews". I just repeated my name and time I was to meet with personnel. The employee then sighed loudly and picked up the phone. I over hear "yes, I know, but she insists she has an appointment". I'm finally told to wait near the desk and they will call me when "she's ready". Ten minutes later, I'm finally allowed to walk back to the personnel office.
Still with me? Keep in mind, I have many, many years in customer service. I'm am not only picky about the service I give, I'm picky about the service I receive. So, needless to say, I'm a little frustrated. Once in the personnel office, it still takes HR two minute to find my application, then I'm asked the same question three times. Then, come to find out, the position I'm applying for has already been filled. Ugh! More questions, two of which are repeated, and then a total of three telephone interruptions later, I'm told the only thing left is a part time cashier position. Okay, I need a job, I can do that and still look for something else. Now, I still have to call them back on Wednesday to see if they can fit me into an orientation class. This, my friends, is why there is no customer service. Even the top dogs do not know what the true meaning is.
I'm a little disappointed today. There really is not much available in this town. At least right now the stores are beginning to hire for the Christmas season. Even if it's temporary, I should be able to find something in the larger stores. I also have an interview set up this Friday for an in-bound call center. Not a dream job, but steady work with average pay. I also have two leads for tomorrow morning. All is not lost, the Lord is in control!
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

I'll Praise You in This Storm
Today I'm going to share the lyrics to the Casting Crown's song "I'll praise You in this Storm". If you've read my blog, you know this is my absolute favorite group. This song has been my theme song for the past month or so. We've had a few storms, but my Lord is always there! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Praise You in This Storm
words by Mark Hall/music by Mark Hall and Bernie Herms
I was sure by now,God, that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away,
stepped in and saved the day.
But once again, I say amen
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away.
Chorus:
And I'll praise you in this storm
and I will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where I am
and every tear I've cried
You hold in your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
and raised me up again
my strength is almost gone how can I carry on
if I can't find You
and as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
the God who gives and takes away
Chorus
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes onto the hills
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth
Chorus
Note the words "I'm with you" in the verses. This is what I hold onto. My Lord is always with me, and you as well. No matter the storm in our life, HE is there!!!
