Show Me What I'm looking For...

Yesterday Firsts:
- First day of work.
- First Chic-fil-A expirience.
- First time at Sharp Top Young Life Camp.

God is so great. Chattanooga, Tennessee is a amazing place to live and I am so blessed to be able to have the opportunity to live here. At first I wasn't sure about this whole thing... I missed my family, didn't think I'd get a job, missed my friends... but I have been getting to know some GREAT people down here! Everyone is sooo friendly and willing to get to know you! I guess it's what they call 'Southern Hospitality.'

Sunday night I went out with a great girl I met at church- she took me to the Terminal; a great restaurant which used to be the terminal for the Chattanooga ChooChoo. We had a fabulous time talking (she has an art major and is super artsy and awesome) I may take a pottery class from her next month after I get my work schedule situated.

Yesterday was my first day of work and let me tell you- it is nothing like Wolfies! I was assigned a zone and was responsible for straightening it and putting clothes from the go-to rack back in their proper places. I also learned how to sensor clothing and rearranged the "get-it-now" rack in the back so it was color-coordinated. Pretty much I worked by myself all day until customers asked me questions. I actually helped one girl put an outfit together- so at least I'm getting some great customer service, retail expirience.

Last Night after work I headed down to Sharp Top Young Life camp with Dale and Mari to see what Bre and Dan were doing this week down there. It was gorgeous! The road there was pretty winding and scary up a mountain, but the camp was absolutely amazing! It was so fun to see what the kids could be involved in. We also attended club which was sooo good. I may never have experienced Young Life in High School, but I sure am getting my fair share of it now! :]

Thank you everyone for all your prayers as I have started my new job and have been meeting new people down here. I can literally feel God's love surrounding me and his spirit inside of me. I have such a longing to see where he will lead me next. He has been showing his presence in everything I've been doing. Right now I'm just enjoying life and taking one day at a time. I have great people surrounding me and supporting me and lifting me up in prayer. :] God has revealed more and more of his plan for me while I have been down here and I can't wait to see what he reveals next!

"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end." Ecclesiastes 3:11


"Only God's purpose can satisfy your longing and leave you nothing to wish for. Adore, walk close to it, see through and abandon all fantasy." (The Sacrament of the Present Moment by Jean-Pierre De Caussade)


"Teach me to seek you, for I cannot seek you unless you teach me, or find you unless you show yourself to me. Let me seek you in my desire, and desire you in my seeking. Let me find you by loving you, let me love you when I find you." - St. Anselm


Lord, Show me what I'm looking for...
