Trusting

“Do you trust me?”  These were words that I the Lord asked me when my bosses told me that Tribal Administration would not be renewing my teleworker agreement.  I was initially shocked by the news since things have been going well with the teleworker arrangement.

I moved to Texas in August (see here) to learn more.  I was able to continue working for the Tribe through teleworking.  Many people asked me why I kept working for the Tribe when my experience and qualifications would make me an excellent candidate for employment in Texas.  My response was always because I never felt released by the Lord to look for other employment.  I feel released now because I don’t feel the Lord leading me to move back to NY, which is required for me to keep my job with the Tribe.

My current teleworking agreement is good until July 31.  I’ll continue working for the Tribe until then.  I’m also applying for jobs in Texas as the Lord shows me opportunities for employment.

In the natural, it makes no sense for me give up a perfectly good job in today’s current economic turmoil.  But, I’m obedient to how I feel God leading me, which is to remain in Texas and not move back to NY. 

My answer Lord..yes I trust You.
