Little things, Big things, All things

Sorry this was meant to go up on monday but it's been a bit of a crazy week!

This is just a little reminder that God answers your prayers, no matter how minuscule, or insignificant or HUGE and impossible it may seem. GOD IS LISTENING.

Earlier this year I had been actively searching for a job, and felt the pressure as the uni semester began and it became harder for me to take money from my mum. (Maybe its a "growing up/getting out of high school" thing?) I was specifically interested and looking for a receptionist/tutoring job ( I figured it could be good for me, and it'd be good for my resume later on too). I must have applied for over 50 or so jobs, and looked through hundreds more, mind you I hadn't really prayed about it through this period.

Then, MANY months later, Caleb told me that he put in a prayer request for me at one leader's CG, and prayed with me again that night about getting a job. We were very specific in what we wanted. A good receptionist job, nearby, and suitable to my uni timetable.

Maybe a month or less later, a dear friend of mine called me up to ask if i wanted a job where she worked! HOW AMAZING IS THAT. It fit perfectly with my uni timetable, its about 3 minutes from my house, and its a receptionist/tutoring position!

Also, you all may have heard about the difficulty I had initially with not being able to communicate properly with my boss and if I remember correctly we prayed about it at CG. And guess what? It's getting so much better! I'm beginning to enjoy my job more, and seeing how I'm able to facilitate each student that comes in, organise various things, it just feels a lot more fulfilling now. Not to mention I'm beginning to form a basic "code" of what my boss wants when she says certain things in her broken english.

This, amongst other little prayers, truly show me how loving and attentive God is. And it's just really begun to dawn on me that I have the great privilege and honour to have a direct communication line to the creator of the universe!

Sometimes your prayers may not go to plan, but know that God has a greater plan than you can imagine!

On a little side note question:

What are your opinions on getting tattoos/piercings? Considering this verse:
"You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord." - Leviticus 19:28 

(This was from a post by a friend on fb, who also asked the same question, which sparked some great answers and discussion, but I want to know what YOU guys think :D)

Thanks for reading guys! Love you all <3
