GodsPerfectTiming

Well first off I must see this has been one eventfull week for sure! After praying about it and putting all my thoughts into it I found the courage to call Tim and tell him how I felt. I told him it jst cannot work out and I need to move on. It was one of the hardest things I have had to do so far in this short life I have lived.  I honestly cried for about 3 days straight and thought I may have made the wrong choice. I still had feelings for him but I knew he was just not the man God had picked out for me.  BUT through patience and trust I have come to learn how much I really do need to put all my trust into the Lord.  A series of events has taken place in the past two days.
1- I met REL and Emma at Chipotle to get my mind of Tim. that was soo fun and I learned how great it is to have such awesome friends.
2- I decided firefighting just may not be the career I need and decided to resign from being a volunteer ff. (I honestly hated going to the fire station)
3- Resigning gave me the oppertunity to start going to Wed nights again.
4- It just so happened that this Wed night the Mohns spoke about relationships and what types of things you need and cannot have in relationships. This 100% perfectly cleared up all my doubts about ending my relationship with Tim. 
5- I got to go to lunch today with my mom at roadhouse grill. Turns out they are going to give me my job back. I now can stop worrying so much about money!!! YAY!!!

Just in these psat two days I have learned SOOOOO much about trusting and listening to God. I am in such awe right now how Gods timing is so perfect and how he knew this week would happen in my life way back before I was even created. He knew I would end things with Tim not sure if it was right and perfectly placed it in my heart to resign from the fire station, attend wed night and hear the Mohns speak. He also perfectly timed my getting my job back to perfectly fit in with all of this. So the stress of wondering if I was in the wrong relationship, the stress about a job and the stress about money problems can now all be relieved. and best of all I get to start helping with the jr. high more often and do more trips because im not tied down to training every wed night.

THANK YOU JESUS FOR EVERYTHING.
and thanks you friends for being so awesome.
