I've been encouraged

Postby Sheenar » Tue Jan 08, 2008 10:37 pm

Lately, I've been worrying (as if that's something new :eyeroll: ). Worrying about a lot of stuff --mostly stuff in the future. Like how I'm going to be able to get a job in the wildlife field having a service dog.
But today was very encouraging for me in that respect. I got an opportunity to visit a wildlife management facility run by Texas Parks and Wildlife. I talked with the guy (he was young, and had been there only 7 months) and he gave me a lot of good advice on working in the field. He told me what degree/classes I need to find employment with TPW and told me I was on the right path having an internship. He talked about the wildlife education part of TPW and it sounded like a cool job. I'm just not sure I want to get my Masters or not --I'm kind of tired of school --but I'll look into the wildlife education programs available and see.
He then took us on a personal tour of the facility. It was so much fun!

So now I feel a lot better about my field choice. I know that there's a place for me in it --I just need to do research and call around.

Now if only I could stop worrying about everything else. :P
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

"Since the creation of the Internet, the Earth's rotation has been fueled, primarily, by the collective spinning of English teachers in their graves."

Congrats and will be praying.
Some of my favorite scriptures.

Psalm91
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

Hebrews 4-4
1Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.
2For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
3For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.



James 4
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.



Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Yay!:jump:

Use this as a reminder from God not to worry. Not to say there won't be trials, but ask God for faith and wisdom (manifestations of the Holy Spirit listed in 1 Corinthians 12:4-11) instead of getting worried about things. I'll pray for you and me, since I often have the same problem.
"Lives are power." - Kamille Bidan
"I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" - Christ the Lord (John 11:25-26)

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. - James 1:2-4.

Remember - the Lord will be with you - always. :)
