About Time

     I figured it was about time that I updated this. Especially since there is oh so much to say, I have no idea where to begin. First off I'm sorry for not writing sooner, it's been crazy, on so many different levels. 
     Lets see. Yesterday was my last day waitressing at Johnny Rockets. I was actually really sad about it. Goodness gracious I have so much to say about that job. Now I can I don't know multitask more? And not be so stressed when I ahve to do a million things at once. I knew I worked there for a reason. I prayed before I went into the interview that if I was supposed to get the job that I would just get it there on the spot, and SURPRISE!!!! God is amazing, there are so many people there that are Christians or at least interested in God, and BAM I'm thrown in and asked all these questions and honestly, I love it, I love it so much! I met some awesome people. So I didn't technically quit, I put in a leave of absence , so when I come home from my awesome adventures, then said they would take me back with open arms. Yes, Yes all this is awesome, but that isn't even the best part. The other day I was waiting on these two how would you say, business men. We were talking, they seemed very nice, and we started talking about traveling, and for those of you who know me, that's one of my favorite things to talk about. So I ended up telling them about how  I went to Peru, and why. THEY. WERE. FASCINATED. So one of the nice men just happened to be the highest of the management of 6 flags theme park here in Queensbury. So I was excited when my supervisor came running to me telling me that he loved me! The next day as I was just doing my job he came and asked me if I would be interested in telling "my story" to his "high staff" meeting he is having on Tuesday. Of course I would! Another opportunity to spread the word! I can't wait! So this is an awesome thing! Then one of my supervisors asked me to come speak at his church, both of the men told me that I could be an inspiration to 6 flags as well as the youth around this community!
     Enough about my job, more about everything else. Well I leave in a week, and honestly I've been having mixed feelings. I've never known so strongly that God wanted me to do something that I'm not comfortable doing. The thought of going back almost disturbs me. I'm afraid. I know I shouldn't be. A few reasons, my dad is still on my mind, especially with today being fathers day.  I'm also comfortable here, I love my job, I love my friends and my family. Its. just. comfortable. At the same time that I'm feeling like this, my heart is aching, and I mean begging to be in the mission field again. It's my passion and I can't turn away from it. In anything, anywhere. I have to. Do. Go. and Be, be who God wants me to be and He has made is so clear. I need to go. God also informed me that I shouldn't not do something He wants me to do just because I'd be uncomfortable. Crazy, where does my comfort come from anyway? That's right Him. He'll give my my strength, comfort, and value all along the way.  I'm slowly getting more excited the more I think about it, the more I look at my BRAND NEW PARALLEL BILIGUAL BIBLE! 5 months. The longest I've been away from home straight. I'm ready. I have no clue where my outreach is, but of course I'll be updating you guys as much as I can. Please, Please, be praying for clarity, strength, comfort, and guidance!!!
