Habakkuk 3:17-19

This morning I found and read these verses in Habakkuk 3. They were so encouraging and I feel like I will be keeping them in mind these next few days and weeks as I move and begin trying to make connections in this time of such hopelessness that is employment.

¹⁷Though the fig tree does not blossom and there is no fruit on the vines, [though] the product of the olive fails and the fields yield no food, though the flock is cut off from the fold and there are no cattle in the stalls,

¹⁸Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation!^(A)

¹⁹The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]! For the Chief Musician; with my stringed instruments.

Habakkuk 3:17-19

I'm pretty excited because I was looking around the area I'll be living to see if there are any walk-in clinic type places where I can get a renewed TB test (a couple of the schools I want to sub in require this within a year.) And I found something that sounds perfect...so here's my plans...ps. these plans have been so up in the air and scattered that I don't think I've really said much about them..

I'm planning to help out a friend move into her dorm for the first time on Thursday. Then on the way back I will get my TB test. I'll be staying with some friends (yes, I'm basically that weird nomad girl) for a couple of nights before I can actually move in to the place I will be staying.

Then...hopefully I can get my test read by Saturday and go to the school's with my info on Monday. (Can't waste anytime, you know)

I found a baby-sitting job that is in the SAME little town that I will be living in also..! I talked with the woman, she's seems so nice, and she said she would let me get myself settled and then we can meet.

Regardless of whether this actually works out or not it was so neat because the timing of it all was such a God thing. She had posted the same day I decided to look (I found her on care.com), she got back to me right away, and we'll be in the same town. Which...in itself is a miracle because it's so small.

Like "Are you from around here, because I didn't recognize your name"..kind of small. I've put it in God's hands though.

In other news...something funky is going on with my laptop keys. First, the "v" key was acting up and sticking, then that was better but the "a" key was stuck...an now that that is unstuck my "d" key is hardly working. I have to like pound at it to make a "d". ha...so if I should be missing a "d" somewhere in this post, you know why.

Has anyone ever experienced this before? I would love a new computer but not really wanting to actually buy said new computer.
