I Am Nothing

No further info on the job front. Lots of discussion on what we should do and what it means to trust God. I think that sometimes from my limited perspective, God does not behave in a way that elicits trust. He does things and leads in ways that would discourage the most committed to question. There have been times that I wondered if impeachment was an option. Then I am reminded of the question God asked Job (and by no means am I comparing myself to Job), "Where were you when I...." Job responds by saying that (I'm paraphrasing) God is big, I am small. We had dinner with Sherri's sister and brother-in-law on Friday. They told us that the other day, my niece (Grace, 3 years old) had the following conversation with grandma...
Grandma: Who's the boss?
Grace: Mommy and Daddy.
Grandma: Well, if they are the boss, what are you?
Grace: I am nothing.

How brilliant is it that God uses stuff like that to bring perspective.
