Phone Call

What an awesome day! I spent time with great friends- talking, laughing, playing cards.  Then, on my way home, I got the phone call I'd been waiting for!  It seems God's timing and my timing are matching right now!  I love that feeling!  I mean, when His timing is different than mine, I know it's ok.  But, when things click at the same time, I can't deny how great it feels!
So, I will now have the opportunity to reach more teens, show them that someone cares, and use the gifts that I feel God has given me to help others.  By working at 2 places that are 2 blocks from each other and serving the teens at both, I'll be able to enhance both programs.  Teens from my church will know I'm just down the street every weekday after school.  And, teens from the teen center will know that I'm at the church on Sunday's and Wednesday nights.  I see this as a win/ win! 
Because I didn't accept the initial offer, they realized that this program could be so much more than the "babysitting position" they originally offered.  I will now be planning activities and ways to enhance the program.
I'll miss the job I've been at for 11 years.  But, I was a different person 11 years ago, and I think it's time for a change.  I feel God is ready for me to move on and do more of His work.  So, today I saw Him in the phone call that offered me a chance for something new and exciting!
Psalm 84:11New International Version (NIV)

¹¹ For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
   the LORD bestows favor and honor;
no good thing does he withhold
   from those whose walk is blameless.
