So. It really does take a slap in the face.







I'm kind of hesitant to publish this post, but think it is a necessary follow up to the previous one.




In my last post, I mentioned how lately, I have been having to be practically slapped in the face when God tried to tell me something because my head is so thick. Well, I have yet another example of how this is true...




So, on Friday, I was going to post about how much I loved my new job at Subway. It was a relatively easy job that requires little to no brain space or training. Making sandwiches was fun and enjoyable. PLUS you got free food while you work from both Subway and Dairy Queen. I tried to envision myself staying there all summer and getting to know the people who seemed to enjoy each other's company but it never really happened. I didn't think too much about that, however, and just kept plunking along thinking that I would get used to it. I got ready yesterday, with a best friend's advice fresh on my heart "Just be careful to not let them influence you, Danie." (love you meggs!) I kept thinking about that last night as I was working and listening to the banter of my male co-workers. After that, multiple things (that I shall not blog about) happened that absolutely sent me over the edge of tolerance for ignorance and garbage. I came home early (thankfully the ONE nice guy that was working my shift let me go early after what happened) all flustered.




Its a funny thing how moms can read their kids and tell when something isn't right. So, after telling my mom, mulling over my options for 24 hours, and getting the finalizing O.K. from my dad, I called the manager and told him that I was done working there. I didn't even feel bad about it, which surprised me. Instead, when I got off the phone with my former boss, the nasty pit I have had in my stomach since last Tuesday went away. Thats how I know that it wasn't God's will for me to work there anymore. Whatever the purpose of the brief time I worked there has been fulfilled, and I feel SO good about it.




God does know what he is doing. :) And I'm glad.

Gee.

I just had a thought. This time next summer, I will have chosen a college, secured financial aide, and found a room mate. The only decisions left will be what color I want my dorm room bed spread. It's a bittersweet thought. How I would LOVE to have all of the decisions decided and set in place for next fall, but I've heard that this is all part of enjoying the ride. I should be taking each day of this summer to relax and enjoy myself, because God knows next summer won't be as breezy. A small update on my college status. -I'm down to Art Education or Art Therapy as a major. (leaning toward Art Ed.) -I finally scheduled my SAT test date. (October 10th, 2009) -I found 5 colleges in Pennsylvania that offer Art Ed as an official major... *Messiah College (Harrisburg) *Seton Hill University (Greensburg) *The University of Edinboro (North... close to Erie) *Indiana University of Pennsylvania (Indiana, Pa. duh. ha...

Not Much but Just Enough

It is so incredibly easy to lose sight of where you are in life.  One thing piles onto the next and all of a sudden you are swampped with a million things lined up in your datebook and a billion thoughts going through your mind.  Sometimes I get so overwhelemed in my own life and busyness that I lose track of all the great things God is doing for me.  As some of you may know, I quit my job at Giant Eagle to persue photography full time.  I can't really describe the feeling of peace I had about it when I made the decision; I just knew it was the right thing to do.  At first it was slow going and kind of discouraging, but over the last couple of months I have been able to make enough money solely through photography to support myself and all of my expenses.  It would be easy to stop at that and brag on myself and my accomplishments, but I truly am humbled by the fact that God would choose to bless my efforts to use the talent he gave me to make a living....

I'll take 3 please!

So today as I was sitting in the waiting room of National Tire and Battery getting my car's oil changed I was watching the "Fox Business" channel. Minute after minute went by, but it seemed like hours. The mundane news anchors talked about how dumb it is to invest in gold bars, and how the flies in Georgia are beginning to migrate North for the winter. (the thing about flies isnt real, but it shows you how much attention I was paying to the TV). I was just about to bust out my iPod when I heard something that piqued my attention. A famous Japanese fashion designer invented an H1N1 suit. It looks just like a business suit, but the fabric on the outside has high-powered infection repellant so the H1N1 germ is killed instantly upon contact. If you want more details so you can laugh (or maybe you might be considering purchasing one for yourself) you can click here . The other thing I HAD to laugh at is the fact that Barrack Hussien Obama is the winner of this year'...
