so I went in for an interview today at Jacob connections clothing store... and I got it! :) It was great, diane the manager was so outgoing and super sweet and nice. She seems like shes going to be a great co-worker and leader. My going back to school is fine as well...and I got the time off for hawaii! yippeee!! sooooo excited. I already start this friday! and I get 50% off all my clothes there, so updating my wardrobe is going to take less and be lots more fun! I make less then I did before, but Im not so worried about that, I'll build it up, and just wait on promotions (hopefully) and raises. I mean I believe with all my heart that this job is exactly what God has in store, its completely his will, especially considering I prayed that the first call I got after handing out 8 resumes, would be the job Im meant to have PRAISE GOD. He ultimately knows exactly what I need.

so last night I was thinking.... after Cam went home. I prayed, and was just sitting with God.... and the phrase
"God will not do by miracle what I am to do by obedience"
popped into my mind, and I sat and thought on that a bit. Its sooo true... no matter what. I am not supposed to expect God to automatically bring to me what I need to do in obedience for him. I need to pick up my bible, I need to pray, I need to spend time in the presence of God.. I need to do these things. Without them growth will never happen and falling, stumbling will be inevitable. No wonder I had been the way I had for sooo long.

so I cleaned my room yesturday... more out of the random want to live orderly instead of a pigish style. and now I sit here in what I have designated my "prayer chair" I have placed 17 books that I want to read next to my chair and although that sorta overwhelms me... I am excited to start reading, exploring, and learning through these amazing books and with the Holy Spirits guidence. I have once again come to claim to hate the tv, although i will most likly watch some of it... I am just eager to get into the books Ive always wanted to read and grow spiritually!

PRAISE GOD for the nice huge kick in the butt! :)
