So this is my first entry in my live journal. I've always thought these were kinda cheesy but lately I was like... it would be fun to keep an update of whats going on in my life... as well as be cheesy. So here I am doing the one thing I've always swore I would never catch myself doing, journaling. SO, can I just say that the Lord works in very mysterious ways. For example, the beginning of this school year I am looking for jobs... trying to figure out what sort of occupation I want to pursue. Well, anyways I decide that I feel called to work with youth girls. So I email a bunch of churches in the Birmingham area... letting them know my passion, and I get a response from a church that I have never attended. Well, ends up the Lord opened a lot of doors and I was offered an internship there YAY! I am real pumped about this... but then I find out the youth minister moves to Houston and forgets to tell his other employees he had hired me so I am not worked into the church budget. HMM... So now I am jobless and its approximately 10 days till graduation. My parents are driving me crazy as well as myself freaking out. Don't they understand I'm just as disappointed as they are?! Parents can be a real drag. My mom's like all supportive but my dad... well he's a different story. He doesn't understand God. Well I guess none do. But how can you expect someone who doesn't know the Lord to believe that the Lord has better plans for you and thats just how he works. You can't. It's a sad thing... my dad and the job situation. But you know the Lord has this in His hands. I'm not worried... in fact I am kind of excited to see what the Lord has planned next. Graduation... and then where.... I guess wherever the wind blows :)
