to do: graduate from college... check!

As of yesterday at 11pm, I officially finished school.. forever (as far as I know). If it turns out that I need to go back and get a bachelor's degree, I will.. I just want to make sure that I really need it because it is a lot of time and money to waste if it's not necessary. All my life I've felt called to be a godly wife and mother. And that is the career path I've chosen so far. If the Lord changes the direction of my life and it turns out I need to go back to school, I will.
I have an Associates Degree in General Studies with an Art Concentration. I started college Fall 2007 at Towson University pursuing a Business Administration major, then a Linguistics major (Spanish concentration). After two semesters, I transferred to Harford Community College where I was a photography major, and then switched to General Studies with an Art Concentration. After two semesters at HCC, I'm graduating as the first person in my family to ever graduate from college :) And I got my Associate's degree exactly two years after graduating high school (yes I know, I'm still a child.. I've only been out of high school for 2 years.. lol).
I'm pretty excited about finishing school and moving into a new season of life. I will no longer call myself a student, and this seems odd, as it has been my title for probably 16 years.

new job :)

i recently got a new full time job.. and i have to tell you how the Lord worked everything out, perfectly. i knew i needed a job for when i finish school, but since i am so busy with school, i haven't had time to start looking for one yet, and i was stressing out b/c i didn't have one, or any ideas for one, and i didn't have time to go find one. i didn't really even start praying for a job yet.

but i mentioned the need for a job to a friend of mine who works on computers for small businesses, and i asked him to keep an eye out for any of his clients that might need some sort of administrative help or receptionist position. less than a week later, he called me and said that he sets up computers for this realtor, and that she mentioned that she needed a personal assistant. he gave me her phone number, i called her and set up an interview. i had no idea what to expect, no idea what this job was really even for or if it was full time or what, but i went to the interview in faith that the Lord was doing something. when i started the interview, we immediately began talking about church (b/c i dont want to work sundays) and she told me that she was a Christian and doesn't work sundays either (which is pretty rare in a realtor). throughout our convo, i found that she wanted to be a missionary and she feels the Lord calling her to use her realty business as her way to serve ppl by sharing the Gospel with them, hooking them up with a church, and inviting them places to meet her christian friends. she has her own bible study for her neighbor ladies where they come to ask questions (like a mini-Alpha).

Basically, i am priveleged to have a hardcore Chrisitan boss (her doctrine is even solid) who cares for her clients' soul more than anything. she offered me a job doing exactly what i love doing, with realy flexible hours (that I can mostly work on from home, which is what i wanted). i was floored. after all that worrying and stressing and not trusting, God still proved himself faithful and he even provided me with the perfect job that i love.

anyways, i just wanted to share with you of God's faithfulness and His provision.
