Target Team Member :)

Woohoo! God answered prayers, and provided me with a job today! :) I will be starting at Target (as soon as they get the results back from my drug screening and background check, they will call to set up Orientation!) as a day shift cashier! :)

As God would have it, one of the girls from LifeGroup also works at Target, and she has been praying for more "light" to come into Target, so needless to say, we're both pretty happy about this! :D

The guy, Jimmy, that conducted my interview was extremely complimentary of me, and seemed to think that I have major potential to move up the "ladder" pretty quickly! :) He said that I interviewed very well, was extremely well spoken, and had an excellent background to be so young! :) (So, suffice it to say that kind of made my day! :D )

However, if you know me well, you know how I love cash registers! (When I was little, my dream was to one day work at Belk so I could use their GINORMOUS cash registers!!! :D ) So, I will be completely happy to stay in this first position as long as God sees fit to keep me there! :D

Anyway, thank you ALL so, so much for your prayers during this transition!!!

Love you bunches!

Perfect Timing...

Perfect timing. His perfect timing.

Last night during Worship at LifeGroup, Ashley got a picture for me. She said there was a kitchen timer - like the one above. It was set, and you could hear the tick-tick-ticking as it was counting down. She said that God was telling her that everything that He has been giving me will all come to fruition in His completely perfect timing. That there will be "milestones" along the way to the big things, but the end result will not be ready until His perfect timer *dings.*

To me, it just confirmed what I had already been feeling - that I have to prepare and get ready for what's to come (especially concerning my future husband). If you never add the ingredients to the cake mix, if you never mix it up, if you never put it in the oven, then it is never going to get baked. I feel like that is exactly what God is saying here - I must be willing to put time, energy and effort into preparing myself for the days ahead! :)

Yay! :D

God is soooooooooooo good!

And I love y'all soooooooooo much! :)

PS - If you see this before then, be praying at 1p! Interview today! :)
