2017
was a year that I will never forget in my entire life. The people I got to meet, the people I shared life with, the places I got to go, the things I got to see. The healings, miracles, teachings that our good Father allowed me to see and witness to has changed my life forever.
As we start to settle into 2018, I cant help to think that the excitement of last year doesn’t stop. We have been taught and talked about the rule of roll of 3 years. The race was year 1. I learned a lot and I created habits that should be done in my daily life. As I settle back into life here in America I have fallen short of those daily habits, but it is not something I am letting myself get to far off of. This year I will build off of those habits and next year I will bear fruit from those habits. Like a vineyard.
My life plans has drastically changed in the last two weeks. First of, I got a really good job. Some plans fell through and I was at the right place at the right time. I know it was all the Lord’s doing. What’s the job, you’re wondering? Well, I am a manager at McDonalds. This particular one just had a change in management. There is a lot of work that needs to be done. A lot of training and getting the crew morale up and back to decent place to work.
After my first day on the job, The Lord challenged me to not put teaching in a box. I had set in my head on no, I am doing this teacher certification program. I can’t have a career at McDonalds. But I can. I can do both. Now, I don’t have to rush through the courses and I can truly take my time. At the same time I can pursue upper management and really grow not only myself, but the crew and the company.
I have seen how feedback and other things that were taught here while doing the race can and is relevant in my everyday life. Not only with the people I live with, but also with the ones I work with. If our community at work is not working together it is not a team and there are rifts. We work in a very tight, small space. So it would be hard to not talk about those things and get everyone on the same page.
I am so thankful for the 2017 and everything that Lord has taught me, but I am so looking forward to what 2018 can and will be for me. My word for the year is grow. I can already see how the Lord is going to use that word in my life this year. I am pumped!
