My First Job

In October, I applied at Jo-Ann's for a part time seasonal worker. A week later I was called in for my first interview in my life, I was very nervous but I got the job. So I started to learn how to cut fabric, ring people up at the check stand and learned (still learning) were every thing went in the large store. This week I was asked to stay on past seasonal help!! And I gladly excepted!!

Now I believe that this job was directly a God given thing, for I needed to be able to save money, and the only place that I really wanted to work (if I had to choose out side of the home) was Jo-Ann's. The only place I applied for was Jo-Ann's and the job I got was at Jo-Ann's. God really had his hand on this. Though I do not believe that I will work there forever but only to occupy my young life and save money for the future. God was also really looking after Dad and my life, for this winter dad's work slowed down. Because of Gods providence I was able to help out with some of the things that we needed around the house.

I know that women are called by God to be mothers, homemakers and wives. But in the middle time of life, between children and wives, I think that we as young women do need to occupy our time with something. Going out and getting a job may not be for every one. But this is what I believe God has called me to do for the time being. With each day stepping closer to what He has in store for me in the future. God has a plan and a purpose for my life and I all I can do is pray that I will follow His guidance. "For everything there is a season, and a purpose under Heaven" -Ecclesiastes 3:1

Well this is my new news!! I wanted to share the news long ago but I got busy with work :) And so I thought now that I am hired on past a seasonal worker, I had to to tell you!! Oh and the pictures are from google!! :)

Until next time!

Psalms 8

O Lord, our Lord, how majectic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouths of babies and infants, you hve established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the advenger. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man to be mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yes you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him dominon over the works of you hands; you have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the path of the sea. O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Psalms 1

Blessed in the man who walks not in the councel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the Lord and on his law he meditaes day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yeilds its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all he does, he prospers. This wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; for the Lord knows the was of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
