\"Thankful<\/a>We interrupt this (ongoing, never-ending, might-end-up-taking-longer-than-the-courtship-itself) story to bring you a Thankful Thursday.<\/p>\n

Have you ever heard the phrase “the devil’s in the details”?<\/p>\n

I disagree.<\/p>\n

I’d say that God<\/b> is in the details. <\/p>\n

Every dip and fold in this life’s journey ends up being the loops, whorls, and arches of God’s fingerprints.<\/p>\n

God is in the details.

<\/p>\n

This week I’m thankful…<\/b><\/p>\n

…for friends happening along<\/b>
\nBeth and I were going to work on our craft project. I stopped midway to show her my dress–and ended up wearing it. Then Ruth just happened to call while I was wearing it–so we invited her over to join us.<\/p>\n

…that God prepped my heart<\/b> for NOT hearing back from the job I’d interviewed for
\nI read I Samuel 13 the night before, all about how Saul’s impatience lost him the kingship. I knew when I read it that I wouldn’t hear back from them within the week (like they’d said)<\/p>\n

…for a white veil<\/b>
\nWith fear and trepidation, I bleached my mother’s wedding veil, almost certain that I’d end up destroying it. As it turns out, I have not ruined it and it is now white enough to be worn as my something old or my something borrowed or both.<\/p>\n

…for snatches of time together<\/b>
\nWe were going different directions on Saturday, but Daniel and I managed to steal away for several little conversations throughout the day, which ended up being wonderful<\/p>\n

…for not hearing back from WIC after I’d called<\/b>
\nWhen I didn’t hear back from the job I’d interviewed with after a week, I called and got voicemail. They didn’t respond, which gave me opportunity to trust God–even though that might mean moving without a job lined up.<\/p>\n

…for finding what I needed at the store<\/b>
\nShopping for something in particular can be difficult, especially in Columbus. Thankfully, I’m still traveling to Grand Island (yep, that changed again–and this time I’m glad I’m still traveling for a little while longer) and managed to find exactly what I needed (and a few things I wanted) at the mall there.<\/p>\n

…for hearing back from WIC just when I’d started searching for other opportunities<\/b>
\nJust when I’d chosen to rest in God’s sovereignty and start searching for non-dietetics jobs in Wichita, I got a call back from WIC offering me the job I’d interviewed for. I’m so excited to be a part of WIC–and to have a job that will be only minutes from Daniel’s and my home (once we are married.)<\/p>\n

…for “just happening” to tender my resignation at six weeks instead of four<\/b>
\nI figured there was no use in delaying. Since I knew, why not tell my employer? Turns out, company policy wouldn’t have let them approve my vacation time during my “resignation period”, except that I gave advance warning so my boss is approving my vacation anyway.<\/p>\n

…that people are enjoying my “Our Story”<\/a> blog series<\/b>
\nYes, it’s a little thing, just a detail, but I’ve been a little discouraged since beginning blogging again after my long stress-filled hiatus. I know plenty of people are reading Our Story, but very few have commented, so I wonder if I’m being boring. But my mom told me on Skype last night that a friend of hers is reading and enjoying–and then Daniel told me that he’s eagerly awaiting each new installment. I *suppose* I’ll keep on writing. If one impartial reader is interested–and my beloved is enjoying it–I’ll keep writing. :-)<\/p>\n

The job situation, especially, has been up and down this week. I’ve had to cling to God–and I’ve found Him a firm foundation on which to stand. Now, on this side of my own mini-drama, I see I have traversed only a single loop of a magnificently beautiful print, the fingerprint of God on my life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
