Well, I hit the ground running! I have returned to my job working at Brown's Orchard and Farm Market. It's nice to be working again. I can't say I always feel like getting up at 6am to go into work but I always remember why I'm so thankful for my job once I get there. I have an amazing store manager and I appreciate her a lot! My job is grading fruit (right now it's apples) and stocking the fruit table and making it always full and looking great! I am also available to the customers to answer any questions they may have about the fruit that is in season. I really do enjoy it! Though because it's still winter, it's not exactly the busiest time of the year so I have a lot of time to just talk with God. Not out loud of course but let me just say that I think it's absolutely wonderful that God can read minds! Seriously it was like His best idea. ;) Anyway, all that to say Im happy to be back.
Home has been an adjustment. I mean thats to be expected but this time around it's a different kind of adjustment. I have really been learning to prioritize my time with God and I wish I could say that I got it done but unfortunately I'm far from it. I'm learning how to work from rest. Can't say I know what that one looks like for me either but hey, I did say that I'm learning it. Another big lesson for me has been how to say no. That one I don't really have down either but this is a new area for me. I have been really having to focus on what my calling and my giftings are and really stick to doing that stuff! I also try to take all opportunities to God and say, should I do this or not. I'm learning to have wisdom in my choices. It's actually a lot to think about!
It's funny to me that it's when I'm home that I have the most inspiration to write new songs. I thought that being away and having new expiriences would inspire new songs but nope! I was too busy! So now as I transition and reflect on the past six months and look at where I am now, I'm finding myself able to yet again describe my feelings and emotions through music. Honestly, it's a gift that I do not take for granted! I love being a musician and songwriter. It's really a lot of fun.
Well thats about it for home right now. I will be singing on the worship team again starting February 26th and I will be leading worship on March 13th! Something new! I'm excited for what God is doing in my life. It's good. I gotta real good life. <3
