I am a big girl now!

It finally happened! After 6 or 7 months of searching, I finally got a big girl job. I will admit it is not exactly what I went to school for or my ideal job, but it does possess all the characteristics I am looking for in a job- I get to work with people and it encourages self motivation. I am so excited and humbled all at once. For the past few months, and especially for the past few weeks, I have heard from numerous customers at Starbucks how everyone is being laid off. How am I able to find a job, when I already have one, in the middle of the worst time to be job-searching? I don't quite know why, but I do know that I am incredibly grateful. The other day at church John Schmidt was explaining how God is bigger than any problem or crisis you may be experiencing. Now I get it! I mean I thought I got it before... but now I really get it! Praise God! I don't know why He chose me to provide a job for and I don't know why this particular job, but I do know that I will take these gifts and work my hardest and do my best! It is interesting how God continues to move me into positions where I am in frequent contact with strangers, so maybe that is my calling from Him. Who knows? All I know is that I am open Lord, open to whatever you may call me to do! Take me and make me what you want for I know that no other choice of mine will be as righteous as yours!
