August has been a big month for me as far as blessings go. God swept away some of my biggest anxieties and replaced them with incredible joys; and as it was done in such an epic, grandiose way, He made it pretty clear to whom all the credit is due (it's all you, Big Guy!).
A few weeks ago, I was "laid off" from a job that was the root of much stress and unhappiness, only to be hired five hours later by another company. My new position has more responsibility, will involve more writing, and will not only compensate me fairly, but also provide me with 100% company paid health benefits and a matching 401k plan.
And if that weren't enough, on Saturday, my wonderful boyfriend became my wonderful fiance! KC took me to the Portland Japanese Gardens, where he proposed to me in the presence of our parents and presented me with the most gorgeous ring. My happiness is complete; I can't wait to marry the man I've grown to love and admire so tremendously.
I feel like I'm starting off on a whole new journey, and best of all, I get to share it with KC, who is the perfect companion. Don't we serve a mighty God? Merciful in His grace and overwhelmingly generous in His provision ;)
