Lately, job and stuff

Sorry I for my many adring readers out there( all three of you), that I have'nt posted anything for a while. I have been very busy at work and trying to figure out where I am going to live in August. My roommate is moving back to Nashville and I have to find a place to live for the next few months. So I apoligize for that.
Some interesting things have been happening in my life recently and it is hard for me to expalin them because I can't. Well, it was mainly just three things. I work as a recreational director at a children's home in downtown Ft. Worth, and there has recently been some open positions availble here that would have solved my problem that I stated earlier. It was a single live - in houseparent where everything was paid for like housing, food, utilties, and even transportation while I was on shift, which is four days on and three days off. So, it was a sweet deal right. The day I was supposed to have the interview for the position, I turned it down. I called up the supervisor and told him that I didn't want it. I can't explain it, but something told me not to go through with it and to stick with my other position. I don't know if it was God tellling me not to do it or what, but I can't come up with any other explainations for it. I was telling this to one of my best friends the other night at Taco Bueno, the best food ever, and I was telling him that I think I would miss the kids I work with now, and that I think that I was meant to be here with them because so many people haven't been there for them in the past. And these kids are very hard to love, but it is something that just comes natural to me. I would still do stuff with them at the other position, just not all the time. I mean, I was pumped and excited about the possibility of interviewing for it all weekend long, but Tuesday morning I woke up with the thought that I wasn't supposed to be there. I know God speaks to us still and uses us everyday, but this hasn't really happened to me in a while.
It doesn't stop there either. I was finally able to go to the young singles worship get together that same night. And I will admitt, there have been times in the past when i only went to check out the single girls and stuff, but not this time.It was really nice to go and not worry about who to talk to and what I looked like and to just worship God. The singing and the lesson were amazing and it was probably the best one that I have been to personally. Again I just felt like I needed to be there.
One more thing, sorry about all this, I know this long but I have to write this last thing because I haven't told anybody about this last part at all. I have a very good friend from college who grew up in Scotland. We still keep in touch every now and then through facebook and e-mail, but we haven't talked in a few months. Him and his wife are currently studying to be missionaries in Scotland in two or three years and he mentioned it to me whenever we last talked and I judt kinda blew it off a little. Well, are you ready for this. Again, I can't really expain why i did this but it happened. I sent him an e-mail saying that I was aboard and that I wanted to be part of their team whenever they go to Scotland. I know that was a huge decision but something was telling me that I needed to do it. I don't know much about Scotland or even how acceptable it is to Christianity, but I don't care, I know that I will be taken care of. I am not making this up, all these things were completly random and believe it or not all happened in one day, July 1st.
I know that God speaks to His people all the time in many ways, I just never really thought that that could be the reason for all this until now. I need to be more trusting and let God use me the way he wants to use me. I don't know if this is God's purpose for me but I am willing to accept it and continue living for Him.
