My Steps are Ordered

So, my first week in Phoenix has been filled with awe of how God orders my steps in every aspect of my life to go exactly where He wants me to be!

First, I visited the seminary on Monday (Jan. 16^th). I was greeted at the front entrance by a GECKO! Ugghh!!! For those of you who know I am deathly afraid of lizards and geckos! I guess God really has a sense of humor! I met some of the people that I had communicated with via phone and email. It was great to put the faces with the voices.  I had a good visit and am looking forward to starting class next Monday!

Next, I went to bible study on Tuesday at the church God told me I would worship and serve Him when I relocated to Phoenix (El Elyon International Church).  It’s a small multicultural congregation.  The bible study lesson was about “love” from I Corinthians 13.  The message was a direct word to me from God! It was confirmation that this was where I was supposed to be! Praise God!!

           

On Wednesday I finally got to sit and talk with my new landlord (Barbara). What I thought was going to be my “temporary” residence turns out will be my permanent residence for now. Thank God for giving Barbara  the desire to build a guest room for those doing “Kingdom work”.  She told me that I could stay as long as I needed to! It’s a small space (like a mini-studio), but just enough room for me (and my clothes and shoes J) & an a VERY GOOD price! Praise God! I understand that I am here on assignment by God, so any sacrifice I have to make is for His glory! I know He will provide everything that I need! I know that this is the place that God intended for me to be at this time and I’m thankful!

Today is Friday and I’m going to my new hairstylist that I was recommended to by a young lady at church. It sounds like this might be my God sent hairstylist also! The name of her salon is “Anointed Hands! (My last hairstylist, Romona May, at Blessed Hands in Slidell, LA, was also God sent!) I will have to let you know how it goes!

I’m still looking for part-time employment.  I know God is going to provide that as well. Please keep me in your prayers! Love ya!
