An update on my life to all my amazing family and friends to show I still live and breath...
I have officially, and finally, gotten all my managers at my job to like me! Yay! This a great accomplishment as some of them really don't like liking people. I am getting more comfortable with all the different things I'm having to do on a daily basis. I am also getting more comfortable with the people I work with, they are all getting around to seeing me be me (i.e. random weird faces, odd noises, singing and dancing). They call me sunshine, (I can't express how much that makes my whole being happy). I'm getting to know them a little more also, the drama queens, the lazy ones, the grumpy ones, the jokers, and the gossips, though I've seen them all be more or less all of those, sometimes at the same time, and sad to say, they've seen me be the same. Despite that, I love them, and I believe they return the feeling in kind.
Learning how to be a functioning adult is much harder that I had previously thought, mainly the finances, cooking, cleaning, eating, Bible studying parts, but everything else likes to jump in every once in a while just to check in. Despite all of that, God has remained faith, reminding me to follow and trust Him in my life, and let me tell you, He has moved more unmovable stuff for me in the last 3 months than I ever thought possible. If there is one word I want this year to be, it would be Trust, to Trust God with all my problems, concerns, and heart. He is always so, so good! And I am so, so thankful.
One way God has blessed me, is with an amazing roommate. She is so awesome, she puts up with my messy, sloppy ways, understands that I am a ridiculously forgetful being, and pretends that I don't wake her up in the morning when I stubble out of my bed to make coffee, and somehow manage to slam every door there is in the house a least twice on my way. I am so thankful for her.
I am learning that finding real friends as an adult is much harder than when you're a kid... of course, this may just be me, hahaha right when there seems promise of a close friend, I get nervous, which, for some un-explainable reason, makes me awkward, and unable to speak English. Amazingly enough, though this happens often, I've met a few amazing individuals that seem to be willing to put up with this annoying little quirk. This is actually quite exciting.
Now though this update has been fairly upbeat, there are a few ways you can pray for me,
That God continues to be the first in my life.
That through Him I would continue to learn and grow.
That my finances would continue to 1. sort themselves out and 2. that they would grow.
That God would use me as a light for all those around me to find Him.
And that I would keep going, keep working, keep following God in a way that is pleasing and honoring to Him. "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to
the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down,
especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with
endurance the race God has set before us." -Hebrews 12:1
Thank you all for being so amazing, loving, and encouraging, I love you all so, so much!
Your sunshine signing off,
C.G.
