a new season

I just thought I would give a little update on where I'm at so far. Friends have been asking for updates but I find it difficult to reach out to everyone. So, social media it is. :)

As I mentioned in my last post, I quit my job of seven years working as a Behavioral Therapist at a local school district. That was a huge step for me. I had nothing to fall back on except hope. Hope that God would open up the right doors and lead me to something. In the mean time, I started babysitting. That was a huge blessing to me. Two days after I quit my job I had a great family ask me to watch their daughter. Two DAYS. Through them, I was approached by another family to watch their two children. The Lord has been so faithful. I am truly in awe of the small ways he cares and reveals himself to me.

 Fast forward 3 weeks and I went on my first job interview in seven years. It was nerve-racking to say the least. The interview was with my college pastor, who just planted a church in Long Beach, California. The position I was interviewing for was the Kids Ministry Director. Praying, waiting, and wondering if I was qualified enough, was difficult. After a week of constant prayer, I was faced with a question. The same question that I've been asked a lot these past two years. It was God asking me again, will you be obedient to where I am calling you? He hasn't failed me and he never will. His plans for my life have proven to be so much better than my own. Saying yes to him has been one of the greatest adventures of my life. With that said, I got the job! God has had his hand on this since the day I met my pastor all those years ago and I think its so funny to see how everything has played out. I am humbled and in awe of who God is. He is so incredibly faithful. I am so excited for this new season of growing and learning how to be a leader.

Please pray for me when you think about it. This is all so new for me. Pray that I will remain teachable and humble. For wisdom and discernment. Most importantly, pray that I will be able to disciple well.
