God is Awesome!

I believe that every day is a gift from God, but I really think that the past two days have been like the blessing jackpot from God. The first reason why is because I got to lead worship for kids in kindergarten and first grade at one of the kids' programs at Buckhead called UpStreet. It was not only really fun and exciting to use my talents for God, but the kids got really into the music and also had a great time and I really enjoyed the people I was serving with! Joe and I are starting to make more friends in Atlanta which I am so excited about and think is so important. That also leads me to my next reason why I'm thankful to God for not only the past two days, but also the past couple of weeks.

Joe and I got to hang out with our friends Malorie and Tim Elrod last night and had a blast. this Tuesday we get to hang out with our friends Michelle and Josh (who are getting married at the end of May) and then Michelle gets to spend the night so that her and I can have some girly time! I also mentioned that I was getting a lot of babysitting gigs. This has not only been amazing because it's been getting me out of the house and giving me something to do, but also because I've been getting to know more people and hopefully making some friends. UpStreet has played a huge part in helping me meet people who in turn have introduced me to more people. The reason I have a job with the family that has the one year old daughter is because of a friend that I met at Buckhead who called them and recommended me for the job. This same friend leads me into my third reason of why God has totally blessed Joe and me in Atlanta.

My friend also gave my name to someone at Buckhead church recommending me for a part-time job there. I don't want to name any names yet (except for the name of the friend who recommended me because she's in real estate, so if you're ever looking to buy a house my friend Cathleen has some great houses that are up on the market) or what I might be doing because I haven't had my interview yet and I don't want to get too excited in case for some reason it doesn't happen. But I am so excited to possibly have the opportunity to serve God by working for a church! And what's great is I still get to use my voice to praise God by volunteering at UpStreet. There's never any guarantee about jobs, but it's so exciting to see God open up opportunities for both me and my husband (that will be a whole new post about how God's been blessing Joe with opportunities).

There is never a more exciting place to be than in God's hands, trusting Him with every step you make in life and praising Him for every blessing along the way!
