Speaking of setbacks

I just spoke to my manager who told me that my job would probably be finished by Friday. This job was supposed to be a 40 daylight hour, 8 week assignment. It hasn't been. The hours were cut back to 35 at one point, there was no work somedays, and the only reason I actually have work to do this week is because I asked to go to another area. Disappointed, yes. Tempted to worry, yes. . Tempted to complain, yes. Then I come home to make a sandwich and the bread I just bought is moldy. Ok...The reason I chose "Singing Along the Way" for my blog name is because I want to be a joyful Christian. I want to Sing when things look gloomy. I want to allow Jesus to shine through me...even when things in life get frustrating. So, I "cast my care upon the LORD" for He loves me and will continue to guide me...through the rough spots of life. I will not complain today, I will sing and be thankful for the work that I have to do today. Jesus said, "So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of it's own." Now, to share the praises of today, I have a realtor in Knoxville working on my housing, the day is beautiful, I DO have food to eat, I had a wonderful conversation with my dear Mother...and it's only noon. So, back to work...who knows what the LORD has in store for the rest of the day. I press on...We press on toward the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus. Isn't it a blessing to remember that one day we will be on streets of gold, and there will not be these little problems! How thankful I am that the King of Kings chose me, saved me and is daily by my side!
