October 24, 2025 God is in the Details

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." 

Romans 8:28 NIV 

This past year has been one of the hardest seasons of my life. I stepped away from a job I’d held for seven years; one that felt comfortable and familiar; for what seemed like a better opportunity. My husband and I believed it was the right move. But soon after, I realized the new path wasn’t what I had hoped for. Neither place felt right, and I began to spiral, feeling hopeless and defeated. 

During this time, I felt as if I was decaying. I tried to stay rooted in God’s Word, but my focus was weak. I prayed, even when I didn’t have the words. Sometimes all I could say was “Jesus” because there truly is power in His name. I remember during counsel, crying as I told my Pastor Jason, “Only God can fix this.” and I meant it. I felt hopeless and my future was so uncertain. However, He was working in the details all along. 

After being turned down six times for other positions, an unexpected job opened at a location I never imagined I would be in at this time. My pay was restored without me asking. My new work partner and I connected instantly. The schedule is better than I could have imagined. It is also an area my husband and I had often talked about settling in for our future. The commute, the team, the location; every piece is more than I could ask or imagine. 

Reflection: I feel like I have experienced God moving mountains for me. The Holy Spirit has given me peace without understanding. Jesus putting the broken piece together to make His masterpiece. I am in awe! I am but a grain of sand, but He knows every hair on my head. He heard and He listened; He gave me a hope and a future again! If you’re in a season where nothing seems to make sense, hold on. Keep praying, keep trusting. Even when all you can say is “Jesus,” He hears you. God is faithful, and He truly is in the details. 

Pray: Thank you, Lord Jesus, for loving me so much that you put all this in my path. Thank you for carrying me when I felt like giving up. Help me to stay this close to you always. I rejoice in your grace and mercy. Praise be to three in one !!! 

Keep Praying,
