An Eye-Opening Day

I now have a job at Moonie's Burger House...

I'm pretty excited...Ashley works there, so that should be fun...

AND....it's close to the Brewers' so I can go visit them WHENEVER I want (haha just kidding Ashley)... :)

You know, through all of this I have realized that God really is sovereign (duh). God wants me to work at Moonie's (or I wouldn't have gotten the job).
I mean, I spent 2 hours in Target today applying and going through 2 interviews. There was really no reason for them not to hire me. Then they come and tell me that they won't hire me b/c I don't work Sundays. First of all..that's ridiculous...Secondly, total God thing.

Then I go to Moonie's and they are SO nice to me. The guy pretty much just sat me down and we had a friendly conversation (AKA: an interview). He was a really nice guy who had actually visited my church at one point (cool stuff), and he was talking about how his wife takes off on Wednesdays for a bible study (more cool stuff). It was pretty neato.

So I feel pretty confident that this is where God wants me.

God also convicted me about where my joy and happiness comes from.
Am I only happy when things go well? Or am I still joyful in the hard times?
I really need to work on this.

I need to be joyful in the Lord even when my parents are upset with me; even when Target rejects me; even when Rudy's doesn't have a spot for me; even when I'm driving through the nasty rain searching for a job that seems to not exist.

I need to be joyful in the Lord...

That guy at Moonies sounds like a ideal person to be working with(ha ha). Remember that god not only worked in your life- by having you stop at Moonies- but he also worked in ours. You are a great employee and we love having you in our lives.

Thanks Jessica,
