So, I was just reading Exodus 3:2-4, and it strongly spoke to me. Here's what these verses say: "And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, here am I." In other words these certain verses are explaining to us this: "God spoke to Moses from an unexpected source: a burning bush. When Moses saw it, he went to investigate. God often uses unexpected sources when working in our lives too, whether people, thoughts, or experiences. Be willing to investigate, and be open to God's surprises. Moses saw a burning bush and spoke with God. Many people in the Bible experienced God in visible (not necessarily human) form. Abraham saw the smoking furnace and a burning lamp; Jacob wrestled with a man. When the slaves were freed from Egypt, God led them by pillars of cloud and fire. God made such appearances to encourage his new nation, to guide them, and to prove the reliability of his verbal message." ~Exodus 3: 2-4.
This will be a different type of blog entry compared to my previous ones. So, anyway, the reason why I chose this Bible verse was because recently, I have received a word from the Lord about my job situation, since I'm no longer happy with where I work currently. He was pulling me in three different directions at this point in time. The 3 directions are this: 1.) Floral Design. 2.) Photography, and 3.) Fashion design. This word was given to me by God through my boyfriend, Derek, Derek mentioned to me that I should think about going into the flower business, and that's when I thought about it and said to Derek, that I would absolutely love getting into floral design because I love taking pictures of beautiful flowers as you all can probably tell from my pictures that I've posted in past blog entries and also on my facebook page. So, when Derek suggested the floral design to me, I went ahead and prayed about it. After I prayed about it, I think that the Lord was guiding me more towards the floral business, than the other 2 things that I listed above, I'm still praying about it, but I strongly agree with the Lord in going into the floral business. So, I went ahead and did a little research on the floral business, and I came across a website that informs you about the flower business, and it all looks very promising, until I came across a paragraph that said something like between the year, 2010 and 2020, the flower business will go into a -9 decrease in business, so I was a little leery about it, but then I read on and I figured that I would give it a shot anyway. I haven't applied to any flower places yet, but I think that I will within the next few days. Like I said above, I am still really praying about it so that I can be 100% sure that that's where he wants me to work at in the near future.
So, I'm going out on a limb here and asking you all that read my blog entries, where you think that I should work at, and would be happiest at. I'm very open to any and all opinions on a near future job change. Please feel free to comment on my blog entry here, or on my facebook page, or you can send me an e-mail about it. Emily_pica@yahoo.com. Either way, I need to get out of my current job situation and fast because I am absolutely miserable there. Thank you all, and God Bless!
