Week One

 A couple very big events have occurred since the last time I posted:

1. I graduated from college.

(no big deal)

2. I helped get ready and participated in one of my very good friends' weddings.

And...

3. This working girl just completed her first week on the job!

That's right, last Monday was my first day of my 10-week internship for the summer!

And I've got to say...it felt good.

After having several jobs that I really didn't care much for, it has been so refreshing to actually enjoy the work I'm doing.

I had started to believe that maybe I just didn't like working. That maybe no matter what job I had, I would dread going to work every day.

But what I started last week, along with the wonderful people I've been working with, have been proving me totally wrong!

If you have ever felt that you will never enjoy your work, I want to encourage you that there is something out there for you. Granted, there will never be a "perfect" job, or one that you like every minute of every day, but you certainly don't have to be miserable in your work.

Seek hard after the Lord and ask him where He wants you to be. He designed you to work, and He has some work specifically designed for you. So, go out there and find it!

That's what I'm striving to do. 

I know it will not be easy, but as long as He is who I'm watching, great things are bound to come from it.

No matter what comes from this internship, I know I will have learned a lot, and more importantly, I will have learned that I can enjoy and look forward to working.

Now that is something to hope for and aspire to.

I pray that each of you will begin to find your niche in the world---that place which God  has specially designed for you.

Blessings friends, and Happy [almost] 4th of July!
