Lesson in Depending on Jehovah

My current journey here in Nicaragua began about 14 months ago in September 2010.  Before coming, I sold/gave away 90% of my belongings and saved up enough to be here for 1 year.  In the back of my mind, I knew there was always a possibility of staying longer, but one year is what I had decided on.  Around May of this year, I made the trip back home (to Atlanta, GA) to see family and friends and to work for a few weeks in hopes of being able to stay in Nicaragua longer.  I learned a valuable lesson in depending on Jehovah during this time.  Before heading in back home, I did some leg work prepping my resume, making a few calls and sending out emails.  I even had a backup plan of doing some errand work if nothing panned out.  The problem is, I thought I was leaning on Jehovah but really, I was still leaning mostly on my own abilities.  This is a lesson I've definitely been refined in this past year but Jehovah took this as an opportunity to really show me how to depend on him.  I got to Atlanta and nothing came through job wise....NADA.  I couldn't even find a job walking dogs or holding a sign in traffic (believe me, I tried!).  Although I was a bit concerned, I was never panicked.  I enjoyed my time in the ministry everyday and remained diligent in prayer, asking Jehovah to show me a way to continue serving in Nicaragua.  By the end of the two weeks, I had not worked a single day.  I still was not worried.  A few days before I was to fly back, I talked to Jehovah a long time about my desire to still serve where the need is greater.  The only thing holding me back was finances.  I decided to use the money I still had in savings to buy what I needed for at least another 8-10 months.  I did so, confident that if it was Jehovah's will, he would provide just what I need right when I needed it.  Right before I got on the plane, I received a gift that covered what I had purchased.  As the plane took off for Managua, I knew everything was going to be just fine.
