I know I have an entery called this from last year but that is just the lyrics to the song. I have heard it on the radio two times and thought the same thing at both times. The thought just popped into my mind the first time and it was really strange. It showed how God was working in my life during the hard times at my old job. Now I love the song even more because it meant something in my life. God was working and speaking through it to me.
When I heard it on the radio for the first time this month, it was on the radio on the way to work in the morning. I might have even told a little story about it earlier on but I felt the need to write a whole entery about it. I heard the end of it this morning too when I got in the car. I started listening to that song every morning at my old job to calm me before the children and teachers came in. It just reminded me that no matter what happened that day I was held by God. It also gave me peace to start my day and made the day easier.
Little did I know, though, that it talked about what was going to happen later in my life. I really think that song helped me through the last days at my old job. I felt like God was telling me that He had a hold of me in my next job after that one. He knew what He was doing with all the changes and hard days and people there. No matter what happened, He had me in His Arms. He had a job lined up for me I just didn't know it at the time.
A job that I would love yet at the same time have time for myself and God. I wouldn't be so overworked and stressed. A job that I dreamed of in the past with people I knew how to get along with because of my past. A job that paid more and that was connected to the public schools. The only problem was that I didn't know when the change would happen or how. I didn't want to get fired from the job I had at the moment so I needed to fine another way to calm myself until I was for sure of the next step.
That is what the song helped me do. It helped me stay calm and strong until I got the for sure sign to move on to a place that would understand me for me. God was holding me at that place everyday until things were with His Timing. Until He knew I couldn't take it anymore. It was a better way to handle things then I had in the past. Just because of this song by "Casting Crowns" I held on for as long as I could with a God like attitude.

Now I am in His Hands all the time and I love it. I Love the job that I have now. I have time to spend with God when I want to or sure now. Yet at the same time, I can be with my younger and older children as I please. I got a subbing job at a preschool and my real job is at a public school and I love that. Why? Because I grew up in the public schools so I feel like I am home. It might be tiring but I am around Kindergarten to 4th grade for about 4 hours per day and I love it. I get to do everything with them from games to crafts. More then I ever got to with the preschools. This is the life that I love and it is still easy to get off when I want off.
It is calm and relaxing and I have time to do the things I love whether spending time with God or doing crafts by myself. I feel like I am where I should be now and I am enjoying if for sure. I feel like I am being held by God all day, every day right now. Yeah, there are some questions and doubts still from day to day but more then anything I have been thanking God a lot more for where I am now then where I was. I have been that know how to talk to and encourage their workers often and I have a great team that I work with and can be smart alike with from day to day so that helps a lot too.
God will continue to hold me while I am on this earth. I feel like God has bigger plans for me down the road and He only gave me a little of what it is like to be held by Him. At least, I know what it feels like and could look like so later on down the road I can keep my eyes open and watch for Him to be by my side through thick and thin.
