MAY THE FUN BEGIN!

HELLO EVERYONE! So I think it is about time to update this blog! As you all know, I have been looking for a job! Well........I GOT A JOB!! It's a coffee shop called Waroeng (Meaning 'Little Shop' in Indonesian). How this all came about was a total God thing! On Thursday, I went to the city for a conference Hillsong put on for all who were 18-25 years old. One of the speakers talked about tattoo trust and asked if we were putting ALL of our trust in God no matter what. At that moment I felt God speak to me about not putting my full trust in Him, especially for this job. That night I told God that I would put my totally trust in Him knowing He would provide. That next morning, God put in my head a verse I had read a couple of days before and it was Psalm 73:23-24 "Yet I still belong to you, you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny." I said this verse over and over again that morning. Then I went out to search for a job! The third place I stopped at was that coffee shop! I asked if they were hiring and he said, "Yes! You want to help?" Of course I said yes :) That day I got hired and him and his wife trained me! They are awesome people both from Indonesia.

They opened the shop just two weeks ago! I am excited to be apart of this and to help as much as I can to make their business grow! I feel like God has placed me here not just to help grow their business but also to show the love of Christ. My first day of work, they started to call me as part of their family! This showed me that this was a total God thing. I have given them ideas about having a 'live band night' and opening up on Saturdays so that the students can hang here. They were excited to hear about my ideas and are looking forward to doing them! Please pray that their business will grow! I am very excited to see how God will use me here!  

Also, classes have started! Praise the Lord :) This week is called "intensives". So it is pretty much one class (Church & Ministry) all day long! Towards the end of the day my mind feels like a prune haha...so much information! Next week, actual classes start! I'm very excited about that! Below is a picture of our Chapel time! They are amazing and I'm pumped to have these 4 days a week!
