It's more than just the Cornucopia...

This past week or so has been a good one to say the least.  So as of November 20th, I am now a Part-Time Sales Associate at Dollar General... yay. The Lord brought me a job- so I thank Him for it :)  Then, on Sunday at church Pastor Jordan asked me to give my testimony.  That within itself was an interesting experience.  For most anyone who knows me knows I am a loud, outgoing, and talktive person, HOWEVER, I do not like giving speeches or talking in front of large groups of people.  i get nervous and anxious and all those feelings where you think you are going to die via heart explosion ya know?  But giving my testimony was cool.  I got up in front of my closest 100 strangers I go to church with at The Barn @ Evangel Temple and told them about my life.  I told them of my trials, my struggles, my tribulation and all of how God's saving grace and his compassion can truly change a life.  It was overall a good experience.

Speaking of churches... All "four" years at Evangel I never seemed to find a church I really enjoyed or connected with.  Over my stint at college, I went through this thing where I discovered that organized religion is NOT for me necessarily.  Karen (my roommate) drug me to church the first week I moved in our apartment and I have been going to ET ever since.  I found the new Pastor to be one who I respected and thought was a great example of what a Pastor should be and I found that not all churches are judgemental and have an agenda.  Since August, I have grown to really enjoy this church and finally found a place I enjoy spending my Sundays...ever more than Bedside Assembly :)

Back to my original topic.  I have had a decent week.  I work, I met new people,  I went to see Harry Potter 7 which was AWESOME,  I have watched an extensive amount of movies, I ate at Chili's with Karen, I went to church, I went to the Evangel Temple All-Church Thanksgiving Dinner, and I just genuinely had a good week.  It is finiding God and His glories in the everyday things.  I am blessed.  I sometimes find myself in these situations where all i do/want to do is complain and think "Why am I lacking/ Why don't I have...?" but I realize that I do have.  I have so much.  It is time to start being thankful for the blessed portions of my life.
