Some of these pictures are from the first trip to Fl. One's with me in jackets. One's with my momma and the castle.
I went to a beach called Anna Maria Island and OMG, the water was soooo clear. I am glad though because I almost stepped on a crab and if the water wasn't clear I definitely would've got bit, or clamped or whatever it is that they do. But it definitely should be on every one's list to do for vacation. I've never seen something so beautiful. I could see my feet when I was in the freezing cold water up to my neck. It was so gorgeous.
So as most of you know, Cj and Micki are moving in May. Instead of July, like I was planning. I am trying not to worry because I know that if I am supposed to be here, God will make a way and a place for me to live at least until the internship and I can move in with one of the home-openers. Just be praying that if God wants me home that he will make it so obvious that I won't be able to stay. Some would even say that he has done that, but I am trying to stay positive and think that God is just testing my faith in him.
I got a job! I work at a place called Gem Cleaners. Its a dry cleaners. I am a cashier, its nothing like I expected for a job when I got here. I work 7-2 Monday-Thurs. and then 9-2 on Saturday. I stand the entire time and my legs feel like they are going to fall off at the end of the day. And this is how I got this Awesome God sent Job.
So, I woke up at 7a.m. on Monday and I did a little devotion and then I got ready. This was the first day of my fast, Basically fasting my sleep. So I get ready and I am driving to go apply at banks and Progressive, office jobs. Well, I was driving down one of the main streets and I started thinking about a story that Pastor Greg was talking about on Sunday and it had to do with the Lady that owned this dry cleaners. Keisha had told me to go apply there because she supported the church and since I was doing the internship, she might give me a shot. So I couldn't get that out of my head, I stopped by the cleaners first and talked to Neddy. I told her that I needed a job from now until the internship in the fall, and she said, "Of course I can use you!" Right on the spot. And she was telling me about how they take everything to the Lord in prayer and she needed to pray about a couple of things but she knew that she was going to give me the job. She asked when I could start and I said ASAP and so she said to come in at 7 am the next morning.. Here I am the first day in the fast of sleep and I get a job that starts off at 7 am. AWESOME God!. LOL. She later told me that her and her husband had been praying about it and were waiting on someone to come in if they were supposed to hire another cashier. And there I was:). It is more than a blessing! She is an awesome woman of God, and I couldn't imagine a better person to work for. She told me that I'll be able to work during the internship and that I can take off in the summer to go back home to Texas if I needed to. The perfect job that is surrounded by God. Perfect working enviroment. Thank you God!
Cj is going to Australia on Saturday, Keisha is going to ARK conference on Sunday, and Micki is going out of town next Thursday.... God watch out for all of them. There travels are under your palm. Keep whoever is driving, flying, or getting them wherever, alert and awake.
Looking forward to what's ahead. A vacation to Texas is in my plans very soon. I am looking forward to more trips to the beach and Disney.
Keisha Leigh Crowell is like the sister I never had. She is awesome and I hope the start of a beautiful Friendship. I love her very much and can't wait for what God has for her. :)
