The Journey, Part 5
Well... Alltel decided invariably to hire someone else. Apparently I need more sales experience to handle a job of that caliber. I guess a year of working part-time at a sporting goods store does not chalk enough hours for a beginning sales guy.
So the journey continues. I had an incredible discussion with Sarah and her mom last Wednesday night. I came to accept the fact that God is not punishing me, he's merely molding and shaping me for something in the future. My prayer is this "future" would be realized by the end of today!
Alltel doesn't hold my future in their hands, God does. Alltel is not my provider God is. My faith and trust is in God, not Alltel. I thank God that I'm not in Louisiana having to find my family members after Katrina.
Maybe I don't have it so bad after all! And maybe you don't either. If you'd like to donate some resources to the American Red Cross for hurricane disaster relief click here!

Walt-
I am sorry to hear about the job not coming through. You are taking it very well...your view on things is always so good and I love seeing how you trust God!
I hate to say this now, considering your situation, but I got that job that I was interviewed for. Its been really fun so far, and I know that I will love working there. The atmosphere is really laid back and chill, and the job is not that difficult.(Which is good cuz i gots a lot on my plate!) The restaurant is called Arriba! and is mexican...maybe I can practice some spanish lol...but anyway, I just wanted to thank you and Sarah (and anyone else reading these go-back-and-forths!) for praying, because the situation was sticky but it worked out just right for me and so I really believe that this was the right job and that it was straight from Him! It feels sooo good to know that I have such special friends to be there for me when I need them! I love you both sooo much!...
So, now you have to get excited too Walt, cuz if He can pick the right job and give it to me, He can for sure pick one for you....one that will be PERFECT in every way! I hope that my good news can in some way be an encouragement to you that you will indeed get the job you need and that He is working RIGHT NOW on getting it ready for you!
Well...its time for my sleep...
I miss you all and wish I could hear your voices! ( my phone is even more ghetto now and can't even receive calls...i feel so isolated!) As soon as it starts to work again though, I will give you a ring-a-ling! Love you!

Ames, good to hear you got the job-that's awesome. What a relief, huh? So I've been reading this guys blog that is in the midst of the craziness down in NOLA. Makes me very thankful to have family, home, water, and food. Not to mention a confidence in the faithfulness of God! the address: http://www.livejournal.com/users/interdictor/2005/09/02/
I am moved to pray with even more intensity after reading about the aftermath of this horrific devestation! It's unbelievable. Anyways love you all and I am so thankful that you are alive and well! Sarah g
Walt-Sarah-& Maci,
Was just looking through your sight & reading your stories and I was just remembering the last few days you were here in GTF... Sure miss you three....
Walt-- you are in the center of God's eye... He has not lost track of you and has not changed His plan for a future and a hope for some of His favorite kids-- the Greens!! Don't be thinking that if things are rough in the process that He is mad or disapointed in you... we are all appointed to difficulty here- Prov 34:19 & James 1 ... but our faith is the substance of things hoped for... so we must keep our hope up --& remember in the light of hindsight much of what we consider difficultys really are the circumstances which launch us to the greatness God had always intended for us... You are a mighty champion for Him & He sees your greatness-- & the pathway to that greatness- even when you don't...
Hope you don't mind me getting preachy at the preacher... sure love & miss you all
PS-- I can't find the spell checker in this thing so you'll just have to know I'm good at lotsa stuff but spelling ain't on that list...
Greg in all the years I've known you, you've never been more right on time with something to say. Honestly, I was beginning to wonder whether or not I stepped too soon. You confirmed what was spoken from our pulpit this morning at our church. Sometimes we are appointed for difficulty. I'm learning to find encouragement in the midst of difficult times. That's probably THE most important out of all personal characteristics to possess.
You can preach at this preacher any time you want. Thank you sir!
by the way... I got James 1, but I've tried tons of combinations and can't find what you're referring to in Proverbs...
Sorry-- not proverbs--- psalms
greg, you should write one of those daily devo books. You know the kind that you read in the bathroom :) Seriously, that was very encouraging and well-stated. God bless you for speaking life into us! We miss you all too. Kirsten, we have your heart and leaves thingy in the window still! You all are such amazing people. It's gonna be an amazing and refreshing feeling whenever we get to see you all again.
