Trusting God even when I can't see the next step!

Who would have ever thought my life would be different today. Wow, my heart is just so overwhelmed with gratitude! Gods grace has been upon my life from the streets of Camden to a wonderful home in Garrison NY. Its amazing that even when I dont look for it or think that I deserve it He shows me I'm worth it and that He still loves me. God has been doing amazing things in my life. Many of you know that I have completed the program at The Walter Hoving Home in December of 2013. While I was in the program I was enrolled in The Emerging Leaders Program, it is a Teen Challenge course you take to become a staff member. While in the home I was faced with some difficulties and was suspended from the course and was told that I could not reapply. So my options were very limited and I knew that I couldnt go back to Camden because there was nothing there for me. So I decided to stay in the completers program at The Walter Hoving Home. Which means that I would still live at the home, have a job outside the home, and learn to transition back into society. While looking for a job was hard, being away from my family at the home was harder. I was blessed with a job at Wendy's and was able to share my testimony with the hiring manager. While being employed there I was grateful, but also struggled with temptation. I was growing weary and was depending on my own strength. I had a plan for my life and thought that if I knew my next step I would be okay. I wanted things to turn out my way. When I received news about not being able to go to my christian families house, I became depressed and disconnected. I was unhappy and lacking trust in God. I just had to be in control. That was until a Sunday evening at a chapel service at the home, I heard God speak loud and clear to me. He said,'' Angelina you have your mind made up and so fixed on YOUR plan that there is no room for ME to show you MY PLAN that I have for you.'' I was so convicted and at that moment I surrendered and said God I will lay down my plan and wait for me to show me your plan. The next day I was approached with a wonderful opportuinty, God showed up. The associate director of The Walter Hoving Home asked me would I be interested in becoming an intern and working at the home as Intake Coordinator. I was shocked and speechless. I told her I had to pray and talk to Brenda and Hellen. The next date I had left for NJ for court. I was nervous and did not know what was going to happen. I wanted to yes, but the first thing that came to my mind was my fines. How am I going to be able to pay my fines. Well, just to show when God has something for you He already knows what is going to happen. That next day the 3 charges I was facing were dropped and the judge told me he was encouraged by what I was doing that I didnt have any amount due to that city. Relieved after all. Brenda and Hellen have realy helped me get to where I am. They love me, support me, and speak truth to me. Since the first day that we made a connection they have never gave up on me. I am very grateful for Christ love shown through them. March 28th I start my internship at the home. While I was concerned about my fines ,I'm trusting God will provide because I'm being obedient to the calling He has on my life. I love that God is using me and the things that have happened in my life to help other women who have the same struggles. I have made a commitment to go ALL IN and committ one year to serving Him. My internship is one year. Please keep me in prayer to continue to trust in Him, remain humble, and stay obedient. I am so blessed and honored that God chose me. This next part of my journey is going to be different for me and challenging but with God ALL things are possible. I remain in this scripture: John 1:16, "From the fullness of His grace we have all received one blessing after another." My life is a blessing and now I have the opportunity to bless someone else. Thank you very much for believing in me. Angelina ​
