faithfulness

God is SO faithful!

Let me take you on a funny little journey, starting back in August. If you recall, I was seriously praying about spending a year after graduation in Thailand. I realized that wasn't where God had me, so I spent some time in complete confusion as to what was next. Then I decided that I was supposed to intern with Crusade and stay here in Fayetteville, which I was really excited about. That lasted for two or three months until mid-January, when I really began questioning that. I spent two months praying, and at the end of that I declined the intern position. My next logical step was grad school, but I was told it was too late to apply for a teaching assistantship, which I needed to pay for the program.

So for the past month and a half, I have been back in a state of confusion, wondering where the heck God was taking me and didn't He know I needed a plan. I applied to do this program called Kairos, which is a leadership training program that prepares students to go into the business world and make their workplace their ministry. Kairos distributes your resume among various partnering organizations, and they also have a Bible study and speakers come in. Who would have thought I would apply for anything like this as an English - Creative Writing major? I was sitting in a room with ten other people in the program as we introduced ourselves, and the majority of them were some sort of business majors. I felt like such a wild card.

However, last week, I had an interview at a company called Acumen Holdings. Acumen is an e-commerce group with numerous online retail sites, and they are adding a ton more by the end of this year. They chose my resume from the Kairos submissions BECAUSE I am a creative writing major and they try to have creatively-written content on their websites! WHAT THE HECK?! I got an e-mail yesterday letting my know I have been accepted for the job, and I start this coming Monday, the 9!

And, since I don't have a large variety of work-appropriate clothes, I get to go shopping this weekend!
