I cried my first few tears 2 nights ago when it hit me that I would be away (by distance) from the one I love. I fell asleep with a few tears in my eyes.

I went to work thinking I would have 2 days left before I leave this workplace. As I walk through the corridors, I felt as if people know my predicament and that I am not wanted at all because I didn't get any offers for new opportunities or renewals. I was thinking that when I was in school, I was one of the top students. But here I am, in a few days I will be unemployed (again). I am not used to this. I like being productive and working. Work is a lot of things to me. When I have problems, I distract myself by working very hard. Now, what do I do? In a week I will be going home. What will I do there? How will I face the heat? What will I do during the day? All of these come to mind.

But God! God has bigger plans. God has not left me. And He has shown this through friends. Two nights ago, a few of our friends took me for a PaintNite to celebrate my birthday. Yesterday, a friend texted me saying I came across her mind. Wow! That is truly from God. And God is showing me that it is true when He said "I will never leave you nor forsake you." (Deuteronomy 31:8) In this uncertain time He is with me and "He goes before me. With Him at my right hand I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is GLAD, and my whole being rejoices; My body also rests secure." (Psalm 16:8-9).

When I wake up in the morning, I feel weak and scared but when I look at His word, I am strengthened. Thank You Lord! His word today is, "You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." Psalm 16:11 Wherever we are, as long as we are in His presence, there we will find pleasures and fullness of joy.
