Hello my lovelies.  It has been a long and exhausting road, but the day we have long waited for has finally arrived.  I have officially found employment!!  *doing Napoleon Dynamite arm motion*  Yesss! I now work at The Academy of Art University in San Francisco.  I’ve only worked a couple days now, but I absolutely love it.  It’s all stuff I learned at school so it’s super easy, but it’s challenging because I haven’t been around some of these things since school (ie studio equipment).  Also, I am able to take one class per semester…FOR FREE.  Needless to say, I’ve been looking at the courses already…

I interviewed on Game 1 of the world series.  I have little interest in sports, but I knew this because the baseball team resides in San Francisco.  It was difficult to avoid.  Later, it was brought to my attention that this team won.  Hazzah for them!  Aaaand I thought it was cool that they won on the same day I interviewed.  I hoped this would be a good sign…turns out it was.

So I’m awake.  it’s about 5:45am.  Some of you may disagree, but God woke me up.  He had something to say.  Well, He always has something to say, but this time He wanted me awake for it.  I was dreaming of climbing a hill towards a house, and then the hill of a driveway towards the front door.  Turns out this wasn’t the house I was looking for.  I happily (yes happily) turned around and continued on the main path.  I suppose I’m content merely with the journey rather than the destination.  The destination never changes, but the journey…yes, that’s where the fun is.  This year has been a tumultuous (which by the way means excited, confused, disorderly…very fitting!) one and it would appear some changes are already in the works…but I am fearful and feeling quite undeserving…and let’s not leave out Mr. Anxiety.  So here I sit.  Awake and longing to be filled with God’s anointing love.  My heart is heavy.  “Cast all your cares upon Him for He cares for you.”  Take my cares, take my burdens, take my thoughts captive!  You alone are my Savior, my Rock, my Salvation. I am reminded this early hour of His faithfulness.  He is always faithful.  Faithful!  He will bring about what He has started.  He is faithful to complete His work in you.

“O Lord God Almighty, who is like you?

You are mighty O Lord, and your faithfulness surrounds you.”

-Pslams 89:8
