That was me and God showed up miraculously so often, I am amazed at Him. He would just peal back layer after layer over time and deal with it, Im talking about stuff that reaches all the way back to my childhood. We reach for things we think we need but God always has His eye on the internal and eternal needs. I am in awe of the process that God has brought me through. After 5 years of unemployment and under employment, layoffs and let downs the Lord woke me up New Years Day 2011 with these words "This year, I will restore you", ten days later a company that I worked for as a temp 3 years before, called me and offered me a full time position at good pay and benefits. A month later my wife was offered a position above her education level that doubled her pay and benefits. These are just a few things that God has done in the 5 years or so. I tear up as I type this out because Im an average joe just trying to live out his potential in Christ. Gods ways truly are above our ways.
