Today I got up bright and early to beat the pavement looking for work. Not only was it quite productive but I was also with a group of people. I stepped into iHOP's lobby where a gentleman was filling out an application, and once I retrieved mine I sat near him and began to fill out mine. Slowly more people began to trickle in, and more people sat down in the lobby filling out apps. I thought it was just a coincidence. But when I went next door to Captain D's and asked for an application and the cashier told me it had to be filled out online at least five people that was standing behind me turned around and walked towards the door. I advised them to go to iHOP to fill out a paper app. Basically, all this time I was kind of feeling like I was the only one out here in a dry season, and hunting for a job like a lion hunts antelope. Boy, was I wrong. Dead wrong. We all need to keep our heads up and our faith in God intact.
When I stepped into Captain D's I browsed their menu to find out what I could get that wouldn't consume my whole five dollar bill. My stomach growled as I hungrily read the menu and I reached into my coat pocket to take out my five dollar bill when all I felt was lint, balled up tissue paper, and a brochure. Panic Button! I reached into the pockets of my jeans but they were empty. After the cashier told me I had to fill out an online app I ran back over to iHOP to check to make sure I didn't drop it. I was looking all over the parking lot and the sidewalk as I walked back over. All of these people out here that needs a job, I'm sure if they found my five dollars they wouldn't put out an APB about a lost five dollar bill.
I stepped back into the lobby and poured everything out of my bookbag. And there at the bottom of my book bag, balled up in a tiny knot, scared to death was my five dollar bill. I praised God right there in the lobby. Lord knows, I needed my five dollars and not that three piece fried green tomato appetizer I had my heart set on buying.
I want to study abroad so bad. On my trip to Richmond Wednesday this young lady was saying how she was going to study in Germany. I soooo want to study in London sooo baaadd. But guess what? My school is doing a study abroad trip to Ireland in May, scholarship funding is available. It is right on time because it is right after second semester ends and I really want to gooooooo! What's stopping me? Nothing. So that is so my goal.
This Christian walk is definitely not by feelings or by sight, I am learning that every day. I mean right now I am tangled up worse than a ball of yarn, though I won't go into detail. To be honest, I dont know how I am going to get out of this mess. But I know I am going to get out of it, and soon. Pray for me. Will definitely pray for you.
