The Activity of God

I have to say that these past two weeks have been a very exciting and busy time and while I do have several blogs in progress I do not yet have any of them finished.  After finalizing my new digs, I had to find a bank, find health insurance, contact my car insurance, clean out my entire life and decide what’s coming with me, change my mailing address with the entire world, get my car checked out and the list goes on and on does it not?   One thing I can say for sure is that I have been at the feet of God begging for discernment and confirmation throughout this entire ordeal and I thought I’d share a few things with you because it is awesome and not all that often when you ask Almighty God for something and He delivers immediately. 

As always, I have to take you back to the beginning.  It was Thursday, June 14th and I was going insane with worry.  I mean I was seriously starting to question this whole move because I simply could not find a roommate due to my location.  That night, I begged God to let the next puzzle piece fall if this move is right and good for me.  The very next day I had three roommate options.  I felt in my heart that this was God saying a gigantic YES in regards to Los Angeles and that it’s not some stupid dream I’m chasing, but is instead an actual part of God’s plan for my life.  So after I got this information, I was still on the fence as to whether the time to move was upon me and so I begged God to make it abundantly clear to me that now is the time.  I specifically asked Him for another Los Angeles area employer to contact me regarding a position and reminded God of all of the crazy things people in the Bible asked of Him in order to confirm His will in their lives and how, to the best of my recollection, He always answered these requests.   Now, I knew I couldn’t make God answer me, but I sure could plead my best case and I did have an honest desire to know whether or not I was moving within His will and more specifically, whether or not I had His provision.  The very next day a film production company in Hollywood contacted me regarding an opportunity.  So at this point I know it’s LA or bust and I needed to pick the right roommate option and this time around I simply asked God that if He had a better place for me to live, He needed to bring that place into my life before I finalized a move-in date with one of the three options I mentioned earlier.  No, another roommate did not show up, but God brought to mind a lot of positive things about this option and my brother spoke to someone who lives in the area and was told that it is a really nice, safe, family area and great for a newcomer.  So at this point you would think I’d feel good about picking up my life and relocating it to Los Angeles, right?  Well, wrong.   There is another huge piece of the puzzle missing.  It is called income.  It is important.  You know what else is important?  Health Insurance.  I have applied for an individual policy, but due to that giant C word, I do not know if I will be allowed entry into the health insurance club plus there is the fact that I might not be able to afford the premiums due to that giant C lurking in my past.  I find it rather harsh and rude: Congratulations you are a survivor, but please accept our sincerest apologies because if you get it again we will most certainly not help you survive it again!  Anyhow, that’s a soapbox for another day.  Where was I?  Oh, yes, you would think that I would have peace about Los Angeles at this point.  After all, God provided immediate confirmations, but I was still freaking out.  What can I say? I am human.  So my last and final request concerning the whole money issue was that I would have an interview set up in Los Angeles before I leave Memphis in order to confirm that a job is coming my way and soon!  Of course, this would also confirm that I would either be able to afford the insurance premiums or be under a group policy in the not too distant future.  I have to admit that I felt very wrong making such a request, but I was reminded of the outlandish requests made of God in the Bible by those, who like me, just wanted to make sure they were in God’s will and had His provision.  If you haven’t guessed already, I have an interview set up for Tuesday, July 10th with a staffing agency in West Los Angeles.  That call came two days after I made the request.  So as I drive Interstate Forty west this week I do have an overwhelming peace that I am in God’s will and that I do have His provision and that knowledge makes the trip that much sweeter.  I know the first few months are going to be a little rocky, but I have faith built on evidence of God at work in my life that I am going to be just fine. 

I hope all of my readers that are celebrating this holiday week have a safe and happy 4th of July and if Winston is reading this from over THERE: Stay Safe & Come Visit When You Can!
