The Winds Of Change Are A-Blowin’

Just six months into my newfound life here in Springfield, Missouri, and things are already changing drastically for me.

I’ve made two big jumps in the past few days — and they’re both for the better, to help improve me all-around.

First off, I started my new job with AT&T today. I’m officially a Part-Time Retail Account Executive, which means I help third-party resellers hit their sales goals and all that cool stuff. I’m pretty excited about the job — it pays well, and I get good weekend hours. I’ll be working Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Secondly, and actually most importantly, I felt the Lord call me away from Crimson House and to search for a new church body. There are many personal reasons behind the move as well, but I just want to ask for continued prayer for my spiritual development and also for Crimson House that God would give the church the impetus to grow.

Sunday night, as I blogged about in brief on Monday, I visited one of James River Assembly’s Life groups up in Strafford. Quite a drive but it was worth it. I met a bunch of great college-age folks and young professionals. In fact I think I met more people my age that night than I have met over the course of me being here in Springfield. I’ve been running on empty and needing that kind of fellowship and Sunday night was a huge boost for me.

Back to the work topic.

Since I only work Friday through Sunday, I would really like a door to open for me to work in multimedia — whether it be video or still photography, from Monday to Thursday. I am aggressively pursuing an opportunity and I pray that it is indeed an open door for something great to happen.

Things have just started to turn the corner for me and I believe that some good things are going to happen in the future. I’ve been praying for the Lord’s direction in my life and He definitely hasn’t removed His guiding hand. I just pray the final piece to the puzzle is answered in the form of another job that can really provide for me to be able to get a different vehicle and save up.

Then, and only then, can I worry about finding a wonderful woman to complete my life. :)

Here’s to hoping it snows Thursday!
