Growing up...

It's official...I'm growing up! No longer am I in school, no longer do I live in my parent's house, and no longer am I a server/bartender! In quick three months I feel that I have grown up so much. I think this hit me last night as I was hanging out with my good friend, who is 11 years older than me. I guess last night I really saw how far I've come in the last three months. Let me give you a recap...In the last three months, I have moved out of my parent's house (meaning I am no longer and in any way financially dependent on them), joined a Bible study group of all women (mostly all are older than me), joined WMBA and made some awesome friends (mostly all are older than me), quit Famous Daves, and started a full-time salary job. A lot of change I must say, but it has been so good for me...so good to let go and let God!

However...

I must say that although things are so good, I am scared...scared of the unknown, scared of the changes, and scared to lose control! Help me God! I trust You and choose to follow You, even if that means I must lose control!

God's providence

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."

--Isaiah 43:18-19

I have seen the Lord's hand in my life so tangibly over the past couple of months. Things have happened, people have come into my life, and opportunities have presented themselves and the timing of it all is perfect...so perfect that there is only one explanation...God's providence in my life!

This Saturday, after 7 consecutive years in the restaurant business, I will say goodbye to Famous Dave's. On Nov. 1, I will dive in headfirst to working my first 9-5, M-F, salary job! I do not have an explanation as to why the events in my life have played out the way they have...all I can say is that I have been so so so blessed! Praise Him!
