Hi!!
Little bit of an update for you all! So, i recently started working at a country club not too far from my house, and I’m full time so it’s been kicking my butt! But hey, it pays well! I work a kiosk at the pool they have there, and then i go straight into being a server at their restaurant. I’ve been working there for about a week now, so I still get lost in that work sauce (if you know you know) at times but i’m getting the hang of it.
With the business of work and getting used to a new environment, it’s been so important to me to balance out the fast paced hustle of work and intentionally setting aside time to spend with the Lord.
With that, God has been teaching me some things…(hopefully this can be a takeaway for someone!) I think the biggest thing that the Lord has been teaching me is to be still. To be still in His presence, to not try to control every aspect of everything, which is honestly a pretty big habit of mine (oops). Pslam 46:10 has been a theme for me these past couple of weeks. With fundraising and working and getting ready in all the ways for the World Race, I have been so wrapped up in it all to the point where I never really let my mind rest in the presence of the Lord. And let me tell you, God really smacked me with “girl what are you doing, I literally got you in my hands. BE STILL.” So that’s what I have been doing. It’s all a matter of trusting Him daily and learning what that looks like.
But when I look at the amount of growth God has done in my heart, I am so forever grateful for all that He’s done, and for all the ways He has shown up faithful to me. I mean four months ago, I realized that I never actually believed the Lord loved me and what His word says about Him and me! I just had basic textbook knowledge of that. And now, I can confidently say that I truly believe He loves me, and that I really do trust Him.
So all that to say, these past few weeks have been a lot on me to say the least, but God has been my anchor through it all. And honestly if you guys could be praying that the Lord just opens up my eyes to see what He is doing in this season, I would so love that! Anyways, thanks for reading my update!
