My short term secret is out!

Well, I have not been able to blog much because I have been going through a lot of changes that I was unable to share until I knew they were certain. I was accepted into a program called the Interim Manager Program with CFA. The way this works is that I am on call to go run a store temporarily off and on for the next couple of years. If I do a good job where I am called then I will possibly get my own store at some point. I have been to Atlanta for training and am now certified to go run a store. I was able to share this with my church the other day and I feel like a load has been lifted off of me. I will be pursuing this full time in January. Its nice to get things out and be able to tell everyone the truth about where God is leading you. A few months ago I was wrestling with whether God would call me to ministry outside the church walls and now I know he has. I prayed back then that if this was God's will He would have to open the doors and then I would walk through them. He did! I got in a program in 7 months that it usually takes years to get in. I knew that God's hand was and still is in this. I was amazed at how he pieced everything together to show me the path he wants me to take at this point in my life. God is amazing and I am very unworthy for Him to use me for anything, but I am glad he wants to. Please also be in prayer for my father who is in ICU in Atlanta. The doctors are still trying to figure out what is wrong with him and he has been in a drug induced coma for over 2 weeks now. I'm back and can share so check back soon.

Because of Him,
