Brown Hair, Hard Work, And...a JOB!

So I went home last weekend to get the rest of my stuff from my parent's house and got to hang out with my fam for a few days. Got my car some new spark plugs and engine coils that she apparently needed. 

Got to drive my brother's mini cooper while my car was getting worked on though!:)

Got to play some good ole hand n foot 

 
















Got my mom to dye my hair:) Yes everyone, the brown is back!

 




















Then I loaded up my car and headed back to Arkansas!

On Wednesday I had an interview at Starbucks and afterwards came home very frustrated and not sure what I was supposed to do and where I was supposed to work that would work with my schedule for missions and for seeing my family on holidays and stuff. 

So I did what I usually do when I don't know what to do. I ranted at God. And then I asked what I was missing. Did He tell me to do something that I missed somewhere? 

Then He reminded me that the last pay check I got from New Life and the money I made from working for my grandparents I did not tithe on. I'd thought about it several times but never got around to doing it. 
"Really God?" 
"Can we just make a deal? I'll tithe double when I have an income again?!" 

To which God replied....
"You asked what you were missing"  

"Good point" 

So I got out my computer and looked up how much my last paycheck was and what I made from my grandparent's and I got online and tithed. 

The second I closed my laptop I got a text message from my friend I went to Haiti with, Kristie Bridges. She is the director of Little Life Academy at the GLR New Life campus. 

I looked at my phone and laughed. She said, "Hey girl I have a job opening if you are interested in applying at LLA" 

After apologizing to God I replied to the text and said I'm interested send me the app. I had an interview the next day. I wasn't really sure if this was going to be the job for me or if God was just proving a point that His resources are limitless so I asked Him to make it clear if I should take it.


Then my good friend Katie and I went to work laying sod....

 



















































We started at 7am Thursday morning and stopped at 12:30pm 

I ran home, got cleaned up and headed to my interview. 

Kristie told me that when she was typing out that txt she was making a list of people to send it to and God told her to just send it to ZuZu. She didn't understand why and she questioned it a little but God said again, just send it to ZuZu, so she obeyed and just sent it to me.

After hearing this I figured it was pretty clear that God went to a lot of trouble to make the timing of that work out just right so this was where I was supposed to be!
And the more I thought about it the more it made sense. It's a school so they aren't open during holidays! and my trip to India is mostly over Christmas break to where I will only have to take off 3 days! 

So, I am now a 3 year old teacher at Little Life Academy in Little Rock and I start in the morning!
 
Then Friday morning at 7am we went back to work and worked and worked and worked...

 

until 6:30pm. 900 yards of sod. 14 pallets. 2 very sore and tired girls. 
Felt like I just did an ironman. 

Which was perfect timing to be sore because bright and early the next morning was our Real Life event EPIC! 

 It was a giant field day! Which means, lots of running! 
I was on the green team. 
We decided to play golf and go for the lowest amount of point we could get. And we won at that!

 

To cap off that very intensely crazy week I got to be on the worship team in Cabot again which meant getting up at 5:30 to be in Cabot by 7am woohoo! 
This morning I got to sleep in:)  

And now, I am officially moved out of my car, into a house, and I start my big girl job in the morning! 
Thank you to those that prayed and encouraged me during the oh so fun time of not knowing where I'd be going and working and all that! God is so so faithful!
