My Silent Season is a Blessing

So I just graduated about 2 months ago from college with a Bachelors in Applied Computer Science. I picked this major because I thought I was good with technology(that’s another story for another day) and people in IT make great money. You know, everyone is so excited when you graduate but one you get that pretty, expensive piece of paper no one cares. They ask the occasional question “are you working you working yet?” but they don’t really care what you’re doing. You are out in the world miserable, just like them. I thought getting a degree would give me a headstart. I thought I would have a job soon after. It’s been said God laughs at our plans, but honestly I think God has a laughing fit when I’m like “God where are you? It isn’t supposed to go like this…….”. So I made applying to jobs my mission. I even toyed with the idea of moving………broke recent grad who depends on her parents for everything…….yea I moving all right. I even said “well God if I don’t get a job, I’m going back to school”. I love how we tell God what we are going to do when he’s the boss. Then something hit me…….God has me here, in this silent season for a reason. I feel he’s giving me a time of rest because he has something so much bigger than anything I can imagine (Jeremiah 29:11). I challenge you to rest in your silent season because it wont last forever. One day you’re going to look up and say “I wish I was back in my silent season. I didn’t have all these worries!!”  God has something big planned for all of us but how long are we going to keep complaining and not trusting his timing. His way , not oursJ
