Hey Pastor John,<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Tonight’s meeting was so good. As I was listening to the words of the song, “Perfection is His Business,” I felt like God was showing me how easy it is to have a perfect, pure heart. I have always made a task list for myself of things I felt I needed to do in order to have a pure heart or get closer to God, and made attaining to perfection such a daunting goal. The song says that it’s His business to make that happen. We just need to trust and relax. Carrie’s testimony was also perfect for me because I tend to think too much and make things out to be something that they’re not and get myself in a tizzy. For one, it felt good to know that someone else has gone through something similar, and more importantly, that God can fix it. I feel like God gave me a dose of faith through the message tonight and the testimonies. It also helped regain my faith that if God wants me to get into PA school, he’ll make it happen. He knows what He’s doing. It’s just good to be reminded that He has my best interest in all things. I’m so glad I was able to see the meeting tonight.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 I’ve told a couple people this, but I wanted to share it with everyone because it’s no small thing, and I’m very thankful for it. I recently got a new job at a very good hospital. For about a year, I’ve been looking for a new job. For one, the one I had was really going downhill and the people I worked with weren’t the best either. Also, I wanted to gain more experience in a different setting because I thought it would look good for graduate school. After I had the interview for the hospital, I was feeling apprehensive about the job, not knowing if I should take it or if I would like it. Driving home on the highway one evening, I wasn’t thinking about anything in particular, just driving. Out of nowhere I felt this strong feeling of happiness just fill me up. It really came suddenly. For no other reason, but God making me do so, I turned my head to my left and caught glimpse of the hospital. I was feeling such strong feelings of happiness and after seeing the hospital, I just closed my eyes, praying, crying. I literally felt like I could close my eyes on that highway and would be just fine despite the merging traffic right next to me. I knew, without a doubt, that God was taking care of me. He wanted me to know I should take that job and he was taking care of me in that just as much as He was letting me close my eyes while driving. I had no doubt.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Almost needless to say, I did get the job. I’m working in the rehab department, helping patients who’ve suffered strokes, paralysis, and limb amputations. One day before work recently, I was riding the elevator up to my floor and just asking God why he gave me this job and what I needed to get out of it. That day, I was training under a sweet lady from the Ukraine. She told me that sometimes she prays for the patients and brings them scriptures for encouragement. I even saw her pray for someone that day. Regardless of what God wants me to get out of this job, I’m very thankful for it and for the people that I get to work with. They’re all very sweet and helpful.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Anyways, I’m just very thankful.<\/span><\/p>\n
