It is Well

I will get a little deep with this post...


So this summer I have been searching for the opening of a new chapter in my life, a new job.  It hasn't been very successful, out of about 20 applications and 1 interview, I still don't have a new job.  Honestly, I have become rather discouraged and a little impatient with it.  The one interview I had really seemed to like me, but I just fell a little short of what they wanted.  So, I feel like I've got reason to be a little discouraged and impatient, of course, that's the human in me. 

I spend every summer working at Camp Fuego with some of the most amazing people in the world and get to help further the Kingdom of God by ministering to tons and tons of young people.  At Fuego, we do what is called "campfire" on Thursday night.  It is a powerful, engaging hour of silence and worship.  In the midst of the silence, God breaks hearts and ignites a fire among the people in the building.  During the song time, Aaron Watson broke out with "It Is Well With My Soul."  I've sung this song countless times and have even heard the amazing, powerful back story about its author and why the song was written.  We started singing the song and I made it through the first verse, and the words to the chorus began to come from my lips.  It was hard to utter them, after this whole summer, but truly my situation is finally "Well with my soul." 

All that to say, something will happen sometime.  God has perfect timing and its going to happen. 

I will be a football coach, but when God's ready for me to be.
