"He's an awesome Jew." - my boss talking about a coworker
"You have a novio?" - 2 different coworkers
"Don't let the table run you; YOU run the table." - hand-me-down advice
My first tip came from a student and his family.
And this is my life today.
I feel like there is some connection between my first table at this new job being a student and his family...like, a sign from God that I'm heading in the right direction.
It has been a good week so far. Wild, but wild is my new normal :)

JEHOVAH-JIREH
I've done it. I've quit teaching and just started a serving job at a Chinese restaurant.
I actually did it. I changed the course of my life in one summer. One decision.
Leave the school. That was the first step. Second, get another job. Done.
And even this summer has been speckled with amazing opportunities to act and make money!
I've worked with an autistic theatre program, performed improv for the homeless community, house and dog-sat, and even now am working part-time helping CITA (Christians in Theatre Arts)...Life is busy! And good. God is good.
He has been so faithful and so sweet and so generous to me this summer! He provides all I need...and more! His love and His blessings are beyond words. The peace I've felt in unbelievable. Within this life-altering, transitional period, God has been a rock, a refuge. And I've had only a few emotional breakdowns (and they weren't really even about my "career" or money!...stupid boys)
I've mended a friendship, settled into an apartment, married off 4 amazing friends...it has been a wild ride since March! And I know the adventures will continue.
I can go anywhere, do anything!
Pesky money tethers me to the Greenville area right now, but I'm looking into moving. Austin, TX is my first choice of exploration. Maybe even seeing my dad for a while in Cali. Who knows.
I just know that right now- this night, tomorrow, perhaps even through December- I have a plan. But I'm trusting the Lord to direct my steps each day, each hour, each minute.
"Oh praise the One who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead!"
