..........

So I didnt get the job at company X after 1 interview for one position and 2 for another. We will go into all the reasons for this some other day cause right now my emotions are not ready for it. What I do want to say on this blog is...Wow God is faithful, even when I am not, and Even though there is somehow sometimes this slight disconnect to seeing what God does and really taking hold of that in my heart...I will still say Thank you Lord for your peace. cause while this job seemed right, in my mind, I didnt have this confident assurance and peace in my heart, which I have felt in the past for certain big decisions, and God waking me up this morning to pray, and then the devotional today...

SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns--02/03/12:
Encourage yourself, says the Lord. Rise up and establish yourself in faith that I will bring you through every situation that has the potential of bringing you down in discouragement. Ask, and I will give you wisdom and show you what must be done. I will strengthen you in your weakest moment. I am with you, and I will not forsake you. Put your entire trust in Me to rescue you from even the most dire of situations and lift you up to new heights. Do not be afraid!
2 Corinthians 12:9 And He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

So I guess even though I am feeling crappy right now, my Father in heaven took the time to encourage me this morning...

Thank you Lord, heal the disconnect. Love you

1 Corinthians 2 hectic shmectic

1 Corinthians 2

 ¹ When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God.^{[a] 2} For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. ³ I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. ⁴ My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, ⁵ so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.

Wisdom From the Spirit

 ⁶ We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. ⁷ No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. ⁸ None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. ⁹ However, as it is written:    “No eye has seen,
   no ear has heard,
no mind has conceived
   what God has prepared for those who love him”^[b]—
 ¹⁰ but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit.
   The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. ¹¹ For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man’s spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. ¹² We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. ¹³ This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.^{[c] 14} The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. ¹⁵ The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man’s judgment:
 ¹⁶ “For who has known the mind of the Lord
   that he may instruct him?”^[d]
   But we have the mind of Christ.
