Continuing on with my story since moving.
People told me that it took a lot of faith for me to move, but God built my faith even more after I moved. I had created a buffer (as much as I could) to hold me over until I got another job. Then I started feeling like God was telling me to hold off on job applications. Crazy. Then I started feeling to give money away from the buffer I had created. So my buffer ran out much sooner than I'd expected. And God just started providing for me. He used the time in the fall\early winter to teach me, draw me even closer to Him, build my faith even more, and to spend time praying for people. He really taught me about receiving. I've always been a giver. It was really hard for me to receive anything from people, and in turn, receive anything from the Lord. It was a crazy four months, but INCREDIBLE! In the midst of that, He provided EVERYTHING I needed and more. I could tell you story after story of how He provided from the smallest things to my rent, bills, gas money, and financial commitments.
At the end of December, I headed back home from spending a week and a half with my family for Christmas. As I was driving, a ball joint blew on my car. Thanks be to Jesus that I was only going like 15 mph getting off an exit and was just able to pull over without hassle. My AAA ran out the next day, but I was able to get my car towed to a shop near my house that night. When I heard back from the garage, they estimated it would be like $830 to fix my car. I told them since the car was only worth $850, I wouldn't be fixing it, and ended up junking my car.
God has taught me a lot about just trusting Him. PERIOD. My mind tends to wander to how things will get paid, etc, but He has continually taken care of me. He is FAITHFUL.
p.s. I didn't want to make a huge blog, but if you want to hear cool stories, get a hold of me. :)
