What am I supposed to do with my life?!

So, this afternoon was ...frustrating and disappointing. I had a job interview set up for a 2 month piano/voice teaching substitute position that I saw available on craigslist. Basically, long story short, the job interview wasn't matching the description advertised. It was less. CONSIDERABLY.

Very different from what I had read online. Especially considering it was 45 min away.

Frustration

Disappointment.

and ultimately, sadness.

The biggest thing throughout all of this has been keeping a hold of hope.

My security in the Lord.

His promises for me.

I was told twice, by two different people and two different ways, that I need to do a word study, focus my heart what the Bible says about 'peace'. Shalom. The Lord's peace. Where to start....blueletterbible.

I hope to get to this soon. All that I know right now is that I could really use some of this peace (completeness, contentment, quietness) that goes beyond earthly understanding.

More on this later....but for now, I want to contribute a link to a great message that I listened to tonight entitled "What am I Supposed to Do With My Life?". The speaker is Jeremiah Miller, from EBI. Timely. And this couldn't have come at a better time.

I know that my Father gives good gifts to His children. He will give me bread to eat and not a stone. His desire and heart is not to taunt me or torture me with this issue of my future and my life. He desires my heart. Wholeness in my heart. Completeness in my heart.

Peace

HIS peace

in my heart.

I only pray that I can calm my F.I.N.E (freaked out, insecure, neurotic, emotion) heart

enough to receive His peace.

But seriously, listen to the message above. It'll be worth it. Trust me.
