Mystery

"The Lord works in mysterious ways." 
I agree with that, but also know that sometimes there is nothing "mysterious" about it. I would make it simple and say "The Lord works". I've seen Him work in my life with no mystery at all.
The last three hours have been God working. Not only working, but leading.
REWIND to last night. I found out I did not get the job at San Gabriel. I was bummed. I expected to be "aw shucks" shoulder shrugging bummed, but not putting myself out there rejected. Then I felt bad for feeling that way because my prayer had been all along "God YOUR will, whatever door you open or close." I prayed as if both options to stay in AZ or move to CA were equal and when the CA door shut I was sad about it. I knew I wouldn't be jumping from rooftops, but if I truly trusted God to make a decision for me why was I feeling so extreme one way?
This thought process flowed over into volleyball (consistently a Thursday highlight) effecting my physical smile and game play, social interaction, and spiritual witness. I had a mind shift in the last game I played of two on two. Naturally, it is more difficult having two players. We were also playing in sand and someone turned on the sprinklers (I have my hunches who it was) mid game. My fellow warrior in battle and our opponents pressed on through "the elements" and kept playing. It felt so good to fight (not fist to fist). Fight for something I love. Every point we defending, dug, and got dirty for was my fight against the emotional quick sand hole I felt myself sinking in. I fought for my worth as a teacher and chose then and there covered in sweat and sand that no matter how I felt now I would not give up. I would give my all for that next "point" in life whether it be a high or low one.
As I rinsed my bruised, slightly bloody, dirt stained knees in the make shift outdoor shower I was reminded by two great people in my life that my feelings are natural, I wasn't made to ever feel rejected, and that yeah...a little more trust in God wouldn't hurt.
FAST FORWARD to today (more like the last 3 hours) . I had some new friends who have blessed me with food, fun, and kid rentals tell me I could use their garage to store my stuff. Then minutes later my Dad called saying there might be an opportunity for me to do some long term house sitting in the Phoenix area, and to look out for a call. He also helped me work out a much more affordable truck rental. I was already going at 4pm to look at a room on campus to live in for the summer and ended up being blessed by conversation and the ability to help others clean.
God is good! He has basically taken care of where my stuff will go, how it will get there, and a potential living arrangement. There is nothing mysterious about those ways. God works, all I have to do is "call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known." Jeremiah 33:3
