A job! And so many other blessings...

I got a job today!! YEAH!!!!  I'm going to be working at Century Bank in Texarkana.  It will be a full time teller position for now, with awesome opportunity for advancement.  In fact, the HR person told me today that if she had a supervisor position open, she would have offered it to me.  We have a bank conversion happening in a couple weeks, so after all that settles, who knows what might be available.  It's a great opportunity, and I'm super excited.  

God has also been moving in our youth group.  We had 5 in youth on Wed night and we are going to start our drama team this Wed.  We are doing a simple drama for Easter Sunday morning.  This Wed night I'll also be sharing in youth.  Tommy and I are going to be switching on an off every week, so I'm excited about that.  I may start teaching the youth Sunday school as well.  It's a great church and the people are so amazing.  The immediate connection I've had with all of them has been unbelievable.  It's totally a God thing. 

Speaking of that, I just want to say, that this whole process has been hard, but at the same time the most amazing experience of my life.  I've learned so much about the blessings of God, that I can't even tell you.  P Tommy preached a sermon on Sunday about taking risks and when you take a risk, it gives God the biggest chance to bless you.  So, if you are thinking about taking a risk because you feel the Lord is prompting you to do something, do it!  If you know it's God's will, take that step... or in some cases a leap of faith.  It will totally be worth it!  I miss you all at home and love you a lot, but I'm excited about what God is doing here in Queen City TX!!

It's been 11 days...

Well, it's officially been 11 days since I became a resident of Queen City, TX... And I love it!  It was an emotional couple of weeks before I made the move, but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's where I'm supposed to be.  The first Sunday I was here, I walked into church and everyone was excited to me and I was SO excited to see everyone again.  Even though it had only been a few weeks since I'd seen them, it was still great to see everyone.  That first Monday I was here, I had a "group" interview with Century Bank.  It was very strange -- it was 2 people from Century Bank and 5 of us.  We had to go around the table and stand up and talk about ourselves and why we wanted to work for Century, along with a couple of other questions they asked us. Today I had a 3rd interview with them, a much more traditional style interview and it went great!!  The interview was actually for a teller position, but by the end of the conversation they were talking to me about possibly doing a personal banker position.  So, that was exciting!!  

Right now I'm staying with Tommy and Heather at their house.  All my stuff is in a 10x10 storage unit... which is slightly depressing! Lol!  But once I get a job secured (which I hope to hear back by the end of the week) I'll start the apartment hunt.  More and more things are starting to become available now too.  So, I'm excited about that too!  Things are definitely starting to move forward.  I'm just so glad to be here.  No place has ever felt like home, except Des Moines, and I get that "home" feeling being here.  It's awesome. 

Anyway, not much else to report.  Sorry I've not done better keeping up.  I'm not very good at these kinds of things!  But when I think about it and get a chance, I'll update again.  Talk to y'all (lol!) later!!
