Open doors

Working with Children's Foundation its formerly named Stubbins but switched it to just Children's Foundation Moberly site. I cant even begin to describe what an incredible opportunity this is.  I really cant! I am so amazed by this door that was opened for me! For those of you who don't know the type of work I do; I get to work at a youth center. The residents and other staff seriously feel like family. This is more to me than some paycheck. Although, some days I do freak out over money I remember that God will not give me more than I can handle. After tomorrow I shall know my schedule more though so I can try to fit in a second job. 

When talking about about "Open doors" I am talking about the ones God opens for you.  Last week I got one job. I thought this line of work had been closed for me. My last semester at CCCB in 2007 I had made plans to work as a house parent at a Children's home. Then my plans crumbled when I found out that I had to be married. So then, I just accepted one dead end job after another. Just trying to survive in this economy like everyone else.  I still felt a tug on my heartstrings in what I wanted to do to make a difference even when I worked at crumby places. My whole life I have wanted to do something to make a difference in either Chilldren or Youth. It is not an easy field but it is one of the most rewarding. It isn't even about me it is about them and how to help them.  When you seek God you will find him and I know that I was definitely knocking on his door. No guarantees but I knew that I needed to knock. He has given me more than I deserve and I am so grateful that it was this door that was opened.
What doors do you need opened? What doors has he opened for you?  Remember this verse: 

Matthew 7:7

New Century Version (NCV)
7 "Ask, and God will give to you. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will open for you.
