It's been nearly a month since my last post and so much has happened since then. I have been meaning to update my blog, but every time I try something else comes up. For those who may not know, I am an intern with the student ministry at First Baptist Church in Clarksville, TN. I volunteer my time, seeing as I don't get paid, but I am very serious about it and see it as my job and as first priority. Again I do not get paid, therefore as a college student I needed a way to make some cash.
I have been doing this for a year, the entire time desperately searching for a paying job to be able to support myself financially. As my first year of school went by nothing seemed to poke it's proverbial head. In this time God taught me a lot, and I believe used that time to further mold me into being self sufficient as I received a bare minimum from my parents to get me along until I had a paying job.
Just before I was getting ready to start classes at Austin Peay this semester, God seemed to just throw an opportunity in my lap. I got a job at a Lasater's Coffee and Tea franchise here in Clarksville. Since, times have just been hectic with training there, now working closing shifts, and school work, as well as my job as an intern at FBC. The past month of my life has been a constant juggling act, burning a candle at three ends, just trying to figure out where everything fits. God has blessed me in so many ways, and in the midst of my current chaos I feel a sense of peace in it all.
Do not worry, in case anyone was, I have not forgot about my blog series on Corinthians. I plan to continue on soon, along with other posts. God is just doing many a work in my life right now, and I praise him for the blessing it is to be calm in the midst of this all, and the way he has blessed me in new relationships and a blessing financially with this new job.
I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.
-1 Corinthians 9:23
