Isn't it interesting...

I'm sitting here at Brewed Awakenings and trying to study for my ecology class tomorrow. It isn't working so well. For those of you who've talked to me any time in the last month or so, you know that I'm really resenting my job as a server at Applebee's . I've been at this job for over 3 years now, and it is a spiritually draining job. The things that I hear while working and the stuff I have to deal with is not healthy. As a volunteer at my church and a leader of a young men's small group, I really need to be in a more healthy situation. I need a place where I can grow in Him. Well, I was talking through this with one of my accountability partners and I've come to a realization. I need out of that job. God is providing me with a way out.

You see, last spring, after my tax return came back I went out an purchased a personal camcorder so that I could have fun shooting small videos for fun. That really turned into being the video team for my church campus (Living Hope Church - Wy'East). Once classes from Clark ended I started doing video blogs for Pastor Seth and the management team at LHC took notice.

I've heard that some of the video team for the church are leaving in the near future and some of the management team have approached me and apparently are in support of my videos and maybe, just maybe it could turn into a job at the church. I'm not sure exactly what that looks like, but I do want to find out. In learning more about video from this summer's experience and tips from a friend who is a videographer, it seems God has been preparing me to take (hopefully) this job.

I'm okay with taking a "pay-cut" financially because I know that I can't pay for college the rest of the way anyhow. So through God's provision, I will succeed in both my college degree and whatever job and eventual career He has in place for me. I just need to really trust that He knows what is best and that He has the best for me. If you could be praying for me in this time I'd really appreciate it. I need to know that despite the chaos, despite the storm, that God is here and if I only listen and take the next right step, that it will be okay.
