The title: Cinnamelts are delicious. They are probably a ton of calories. Terribly sweet and a McDonald's delicacy. I ate one today. Boom!
Moving Right Along: God's will. It's something I struggled with for a long time, but now I see how easy it is to follow God's will. It requires a little letting go. I wasn't willing to do this at first. And even when I thought I'd let go, I still always had a pinky finger wrapped around some aspect of my life. For a long time God was telling me to stand still. It was hard to do nothing, but at some point I was stuck in a position where I didn't know what to do anyway, so I might as well obey.
Now, about three months after me grappling back and forth about what to do next in my life, I have direction and it's special, because it's God-guided direction. My best friend got me a job at Olive Garden. I'm pretty excited about it. I asked God for a job. One that wasn't too serious, as to deviate me from my true career wish, but one where I could also meet new people and gain new skills. This is what God chose for me. He chose something He knew I'd like. And that is awesome.
Then, to add a cherry on top of the sundae, I found a place where I can study improv. My whole original reason for wanting to go to Chicago was to study improv. Even though I still want to live in Chicago, I am perfectly fine with staying here, studying, and working until I receive my next instructions. And there is a reason to everything. I can assume there's a lot of growing left for me to do.
Right now I am just fortunate, because I've reconnected with friends. True Friends. When I was Lansing, I remember having days where I felt awfully lonely. I felt like I had no one who understood me (and I also had some naysayers). Through getting closer to God, I don't feel that loneliness anymore. And by moving back home and reconnecting with people I have always been able to count on, I'm equally satisfied. My cat is super happy too. He's never had this much attention and love in his whole life. Is that sad? Oh no, I'm a terrible pet parent!
So what's next? I often question this, because God hasn't said anything huge to me lately. Either that or I just can't hear Him at this moment. I had a huge section of my life that I don't know how to define. I guess it was the "Close-i-fication of God and I". It's not over though. We never stop working with God to become better people and win more souls. I guess now, I should find a new church home, since I'm staying here. Woot. woot.
