Answers are along time coming

It has been nearly 3 months since I lost my job.

Time flies as they say.

I am now researching French courses to see if I can get funding

to learn French full time.

I have money coming in through unemployment until the first of the year.

I have heard nothing about the job contract.

I am trying to trust God,

to deflect crazy thoughts

which come

most readily

when I feel unsettled.

I fail and get up again, and again and again.

Tonight I am having a few friends over

for food, poetry and tea.

I hope to have another literary party later,

when my (old calendar) Apostles Fast is over.

My lease is up in October; I try not to worry about this.

I am learning that obeying God is through listening and doing what He says.

Yes, I know, obvious,

but it struck me the other day

as the command for obedience. Do not worry.

Your Father knows...

Prayers appreciated.
