What a Great Day!

From sun up to sun down, today was a day that put a smile on my face!

At my church, we are in a six (or seven) week series called I Am.  This week Brian, our worship leader,  preached on how God is the Light of the World.  This sermon really hit me today because as I have written previously, I am stressing about finding a job.  But though I am stressing, I am putting all of my worries in God's hands because I am blessed to have that relationship with him.  I was reminded this morning that if I Live (actually have that deep connection) with God, Talk to him and actually Listen, then I will have his Light shine on me.  If i try to go through life on my own, I will be in the dark and I won't be able to get out.     But that reminder was only a start to my great day.

When I got home from church and having lunch with three of my best friends, I decided that it was going to be cleaning day.  Now, I try to clean my house every other weekend from kitchen-bathroom.  But because of Spring Break, I had not cleaned in a while.  So today, I did.  I started in the kitchen from sweeping, mopping and vacuuming the floors; scrubbing down the counters, sink and table; vacuuming (the floors and furniture) and dusting the living room;  vacuuming my room, shaking out the rugs, dusting and organizing my closet shelf; mopping the bathroom floor, cleaning the sink, counters, mirrors and shower.  WHEH sounds like a lot but it NEEDED to be done.

During the midst of my cleaning frenzy, I found out that I had been accepted for another round of the interview process for YES Prep in Houston.  I am so ecstatic because my interviewer told me that I would not find out if I would move on until Thursday, and here I am finding out the next day, let alone a Sunday.  So please keep me in your prayers because I think that this would be a great job for me, but I am also not giving up on the job hunt, so if you hear of anything then feel free to let me know!

To end the night, my friend Christal and I went to our church to watch the Mwangaza Children's Choir.  This is a choir that is on an American tour from the Central part of Uganda.  All of the kids are have sponsors through African Renewal Ministries (I have blogged about this program before).  They were absolutely phenomenal! Christal and I both were moved to tears because they were so precious and they were full of the Lord.  This is a great program to support and I know that when I have a job with an incoming salary, I will sponsor a child.

Now that I am ending the night, sitting here in my comfortable bed, I am listening to great music and watching an awesome rainstorm outside with a big smile on my face.  I love thunderstorms, especially when they are at night.  I just open my door, light some candles, put on soft music and get lost in my thoughts.
