New Directions
It seems like everytime I post here, some big event has happened in my life. Of course, I guess that would make sense since I only post here once every blue moon or so.
You may have noticed that I added the "(former)" to the title of this blog... well, at least for now, that's the way it is. I'm not in radio and I may not be in radio again for a while... if ever. It's unfortunate that for now that chapter in my life has come to an end but it would appear that it's the plan God has for me right now. I've had zero luck in finding a new radio gig so I'm pretty much just going to give it a rest for now. The fact that I had to get a "real" job (which I'll tell you more about in a few minutes) which keeps me from being able to get online to search is certainly a consideration. But it's the way it is right now.
The "real" job I speak of would be as an Account Manager at Rent-A-Center in Warsaw, Indiana. It's certainly been an experience. I've been getting in better shape because of all the heavy lifting that is required of my job and that has been a blessing. I've also learned a great deal about a business that's new to me and I've even been humbled by seeing how some of my customers live. I firmly believe that's a big part of the plan that God has for me right now. Even working in Warsaw allowed me to stop by a friend's house last week and lead her to Christ. Think about it: Had I not been going home from that job that night, I wouldn't have been able to stop by her apartment to talk to her about the Lord. God works in mysterious ways!
In a way, I'm thankful that I found myself unemployed for a while. It allowed be to build my relationship with Christ and get my head straight about a few things. It was as of God was talking to me (and I think He was!) but a voice in my head said "Be patient. You will be provided for." God tells us in the Bible that He will never leave or foresake us and He certainly kept His promise with me. For that, I am very thankful.
I don't know why but I'm kindda feeling that my work here is done... that it's time to move on. One thing that's been heavy on my heart has been possibly moving home. The great thing about RAC is that I can transfer within the company. I may transfer home soon. I miss my family and I would love more than almost anything in the world to be closer to them. Today is Mother's Day and it's really hard to be to be away from my mom on another Mother's Day. I miss her a load today.
To all mothers who may be reading this today, have a wonderful day. This is the day that we celebrate YOU and how you've made a difference in our lives. Thank you for helping to make this world a better place!
To my friends: I miss you all dearly, both those in Indiana and back home in Mississippi. You've all been a source of inspiration and support for me and I thank you and love you very much for that.
I can't believe that it's been two years since I moved to Fort Wayne but it has been. In fact, tomorrow (5/15) makes two years exactly since I packed up my stuff in a U-Haul trailor and drove 12 hours to Fort Wayne. It's been an amazing journey and if it's coming to an end soon, it certainly has been great.
I have to get off of here now. I'm off today and there's so much left to do and not much time to do it in. May God bless you and give you immeasurably more than you ever imagined. :-)
