Choosing to fill the vase

Awhile back ago Matt did a sermon that changed the course of our lives. He was preaching about when Jesus turned water into wine at the wedding. Jesus mother told the servants to do whatever he told them to do. Jesus told the servant to go fill the empty vases with water. We know what happened next. Well Bill and I came home and changed our prayers. You see we felt like we were on a sinking ship. Bill's job was in new home construction. As you know in this economy was worrisome. Bill had started to learn decorative concrete and was doing this on the side in hopes it could become a new career. We prayed that God would bless this and continue to bless his current employer. He did. Bill's company was doing more work than most others. However it still felt like the ship was going down. We stopped praying for specifics and started praying "God tell us what vases to fill and we will do it." A few days later Bill got asked about a position at a different company. We didn't think much of it. It was commercial and he had want to make the move from residential to commercial for a few years. About one month later Bill accepted a position at the commercial company. Things are not perfect as construction is difficult right now no matter where you are. But it is refreshing to be in a boat with others that are bailing out the water as well. God's timing is perfect. I often remember this time when I'm frustrated that God is not answering my prayers the way I think he should. I tell myself be quite Jennita and fill whatever vase he tells you to for inside that vase he might just have a miracle......
