New Page

Exactly two months ago I left Starbucks to begin a new job as a preschool teacher, then under some unfortunate circumstances I felt lead to leave that job and pursue an internship at the culture house. It's been about two weeks of unemployment, and I am hoping to go back to Starbucks as I start my internship.

Yet, I have throughly enjoyed my unemployment. It's been a unique challenge that I did not easily embrace. I was able to completely clean out my room, and make some significent changes... it still feels a bit crammed, and in need of re-ordering but it's getting there. I need to clean my closet too.

I've also learned that I love painting... I may not be talented... but I love it. I would love to learn to sew, and just work on developing some more of my artistic skills. I'm sort of excited to see where these new loves take me.

It feels strange to not let the roles of my career define me, Student, Barista, etc... none of those things are my master. Only God owns my heart, my crazy untamed heart, and yet He loves me unconditionally. In all of my depravity He sees beauty, and He sees something He is willing to shape and call His own.

So in this summer of change, and almost graduation I will write more... Paint more... Eventually learn to sew a few pretty things... and work on becoming a cleaner person...

Here we go... Time to conquer a new page with a LOT of help from The Lord...
