I Was Looking at My Daughter, Then This is What I Realized...
A couple of days ago, I found myself looking at my daughter while she was playing with her toys. I was looking at her and observing how she was playing with her xylophone toy. She would then hand me the mallet asking me to play it too, and yes - I did play a little. But I was looking at her, I was blankly staring and thoughts rushed into my mind - worries to be more accurate. I was thinking, "Could we still give her a good life?"
You see my husband and I lost a major client. And though we have other sources of income, we lost a hefty amount of income which comes from that client as we both were working full time for them. Truth is, my husband is the real worrier between us and I was the positive one. But that day, I couldn't help but just stare at my daughter worrying if I could still be that mother who will always literally be by her side working from home while being able to help my husband provide for her. I have been thinking of that after I submitted the last article required for a short project I got. Maybe I'm just too unreasonably positive, maybe I really should be worrying now...
The day went on and we attended a preaching that night and I prayed to God to help us find the right opportunity. I have been attending a lot of interviews for the last couple of weeks and there were no positive responses yet. When I prayed, I told God that anything is possible for him, and that He knows what I need.
As soon as we arrived home, I received a message on my Facebook page. It was about an opportunity for me to work as a writer for his website. Since it was already late, I just replied that I would just have a chat with him first thing in the morning.
Do you find yourself looking at your child today and worrying what's going to happen next? Do you find yourself worried about what's going to happen to you tomorrow? Remember God is looking at you too and He has an awesome plan for you. 😉
Look up! xx

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

My unspoken wish...
I believe most moms want to spend more time with their family and I am one of them. I have always wanted to find a job that I love doing which would consume less hours but for a higher pay. I was very grateful to God for giving me a full-time job, however, there were times that it took a toll on my health and it affected my relationship with my family. I was wishing there was a way to find a less demanding role but it was impossible to find one since I didn't have the time to look for other opportunities. It was all just a wish and it really seemed impossible but...Then God took control...
I was then informed that they already made a business decision. A decision that they wanted to continue without me. I was relieved and scared at the same time, but I was more positive than ever, until I found myself worrying again a couple of days ago...THE Opportunity
After my morning ritual, I immediately sent a message to the probable client, it was a long conversation on Messenger but to cut the story short, it was THE Opportunity I was waiting for. I love what I'll do, the pay is great, the hours are not so long and even flexible! I could still even take other jobs I like. It's just amazing how it all happened. It was the opportunity that was presented to me... Praise God!God is ALWAYS looking at us...
This is what I realized: Just as I was looking at my daughter, God was also looking at me and thinking how I could have a better life. The only difference is that He already has a plan and He isn't worrying what's going to happen next because He holds it! What I found impossible for me was very much possible to Him, we just need to be specific about what we need.Do you find yourself looking at your child today and worrying what's going to happen next? Do you find yourself worried about what's going to happen to you tomorrow? Remember God is looking at you too and He has an awesome plan for you. 😉
