Work

A year and a half ago I needed a job.

I've been an RA at HBU since May 2008. However, my Campus Living position only provides a Housing stipend. I don't get cash like I did at SFA.

So, around April 2009 I started praying and asking God to help me find a job and lo and behold, Aaron Shust offers me a position. That was truly a blessing from God!! Who else gets to work for their favorite musician???

However, as summmer began I needed to find something else to occupy my time. I was a little worried and was afraid nobody would hire me. I'm not entirely sure why I felt this way... Anyways, I applied for a job at the Wellness Center, and I got it a few days later!

Last fall, my hall director said that some shifts needed to be covered at the Corner Pawket so I got ANOTHER job.

This summer I got a job as a YMCA camp counselor and because enrollment was low I decided to find an additional job to supplement my income. I applied at Lifetime Fiteness and once again, got hired.

So this summer I will be a Y summer camp counselor, at Lifetime Fitness I work child care, birthday parties, and summer camp, I am an RA, I will continue to update Aaron's website and I still work at the Wellness Center (I'm here now :)).

I can't believe that I have 5 jobs when a little over a year ago I was worried about finding one!!!

I am a little anxious about graduation. Already people are asking, "what are your plans after graduation?"

Truth is, I have no idea. I don't do well with desk jobs. I get bored. That's why stabucks was a perfect fit for me. I did it for three years. I was always making drinks, and If I got tired, I could work the register or clean. I wouldn't mind being a teacher. I love kids, especially liitle ones. However, elementary education is one of the lowest paying jobs and I would have to get ACP certification for that.

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do, but I know the Lord will provide. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

I choose to trust him.
