The title of this blog is irrelevant beyond the fact that I am listening to Jack's Mannequin because iTunes is on shuffle, so please disregard that little tidbit of fun and continue below for more organized thought:
The ideas and dreams that God puts in my head terrify me.
I've spent the last few glorious weeks in Romania loving every single second of it – falling in love with the people of a village, our contacts, a language that I can almost halfway understand, and the colors of this place. They have different colored gates and beautiful trees and a plethora of oversized man sweaters to wear.
What's not to love?! (besides the snow falling from the sky and melting into slush outside right now)
Month seven has treated me well, to say the least, but it's also provided a few opportunities for my heart and my head to think and worry. We have four months before home – four – and I'm very present here, but with my dearest and best friends getting ready to graduate from the great Berry College
#shoutout to Sar, Madi, and Suz! Who wouldn't love these hotties?
I've had so many fun conversations with Madi about the passions God has put on her heart for non-profits and serving. Sarah and I have talked about how bom her resume is and how she's pretty much the most hireable person in the Comm department at Berry that's graduating right now and all the different businesses we need to open together. Suz and I have talked about her love of kids and where that's leading her in the next year hand-in-hand with her art.
And I've been getting nervous.
Here I am halfway across the world (having a blast) serving the Lord with little time to job search.
clothes shop overseas than it is to job shop.
Who knew?!)
My resume isn't half of Sarah's beautiful one (and doesn't have half the design power to wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am future employers).
So here I sit. What in the glorious world of my great God am I going to do in July?
Move back home? You've got to be kidding me. I can't find a job in Perry because the job market isn't growing there and I'm seven thousand percent sure God wants me in the ATL #homesweethome
What about those student loans I have to pay back? 26Ks staring me in the face.
And who will even want to hire a super granola, big man sweater wearing, only-real-job-i-ever-had-was-a-barista almost-24-year-old girl who just finished gallavanting the world for the glory of the Kingdom?
Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes. Matthew 6:34
God's got that job on lock. So, about that unemployment thing… #SWERVE
