I'm Hired!

Being a student is a huge undertaking; you've got to stretch your intellect and your pockets to make it through! This summer I began searching for a way to earn income, and hopefully some type of research experience to add to my resume and enhance the skills I've been learning in the classroom. Last week I interviewed with an organization for a data analysis position, and yesterday I heard the magic words "You're Hired". Thank God!

I'd been praying for an opportunity to present itself that would meet my financial and academic needs. I asked nearly everyone I encountered for leads and even registered to babysit in the community. As always, God came through.

Tomorrow morning, I will head out for my first day of work. My clothes are ironed, lunch packed, and I'm ready to roll. I'm excited and a little nervous, but I'm comforted by the reminder from today's devotional message from Girlfriends in God:

Matthew 21:21-22 I tell you the truth, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done

Many times, we won’t take the first step because we’re afraid we won’t be able to make the whole journey.
Don’t wait until you believe it all.
Don’t wait until you can see it all.
Don’t wait until you understand it all.
Step out in childlike faith and put your trust in God.

First day, here I come!
