So now that I have been graduated from college for two weeks, I thought I should probably type an update. I am on the job hunt right now for a Human Resources/Administrative job. My original plan was to go straight into my masters degree in the fall, but I had absolutely no peace about that for a real long time so I prayed and heard from God. I am going to wait on grad school for a few years and get a full time well-paying job to start paying some bills and student loans off. I am sending out resumes and using a staffing agency to get my name out there. So I'm believing I will have the right position very soon. A good friend of mine, Brittne, and I are planning to move out together in the fall. She just got a job as a 3rd grade teacher so we're in similar seasons of life. We went apartment shopping today and saw a few possibilities! I am also changing ministries at church in this transition which, for me, was a difficult but necessary decision. At my church, Generation Church (ages 12-24) is a fantastic ministry that I have loved being a part of, but starting in June, I will be moving into the Young Professionals ministry which will be a new and exciting adventure. I'm also still singing on the worship team once a month and watching babies in the nursery all the other Sundays during first service. Playing with babies is seriously therapeutic for me. I love it! I'm really excited about this new season. It all seems so foggy right now, but I know I'm on the right path no matter how blurred my vision might be at the moment. It's weird to see myself moving into the career world because I have never pictured myself as the businesswoman type. I still don't really see that in me, but when has that ever played into the plans God has for me? It has never been about my vison but His. I like that I can lean on His understanding and not try to figure it all out. Someone recently told me I need to keep my childlike faith that has had some shakes in the last year or so; I really needed that exhortation. Yes, not everything always makes sense and sometimes its easier to cope with injustice and uncertainty by making justifications or switching philosophies or even core beliefs, but that is such a distortion of Truth on the basis of one's finite experiential perspective. I would rather stick to the One who time and time again proves His Omnipotence and Omniscience and eternality. Becoming jaded, uprooted, and moved by the winds of culture is just not an option and seems utterly foolish when faced with the Truth of the Savior King who has fulfilled prophecy and shown love too true for most of us to fathom. I personally know Him, talk to Him, and He talks back. I'm not crazy and this isn't some crutch I cling to in order to make sense of the world. It's true beyond a shadow of a doubt and once you've tasted of pure, authentic Truth, nothing else satisfies or measures up. Casting Crowns wrote a song that has spoke to my heart through many different seasons. I was listening to it today... "But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story The Voice of Truth says do not be afraid The Voice of Truth says this is for My glory Out of all the voices calling out to me I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth" |
