| You guys! Something really exciting happened today!!
On Sunday the message was on prayer and praying for "doors of opportunity" to witness. This morning I prayed that God would give me a chance at work today to talk to someone about Him, and that He would make it really obvious so I wouldn't miss it. At lunch I was training a guy, and this guy liked to talk and ask me questions about EVERYTHING -- books, movies, music, and so on, and then I thought, I should bring up religion and see what he thinks about God, so I did, and he doesn't really think too much about Him, and then I got to tell him everything I believed about God. And right in the middle of when I was talking to him, I suddenly remembered praying this morning -- that I would be able to do exactly what I was doing that moment!! Praise God that He always does what He says He will -- and He made it really obvious to me, too! Pray for this guy Joshua -- he was interested, but didn't want to commit himself to Someone he couldn't see.
Something else happened on Sunday -- I was accompaning the special, and I played the intro and then found that the other page where the beginning of the song was, was in a different key! and I couldn't figure out what was up, so I stopped, and the singer stopped too. So then I replayed the intro, and finally figured out that I had the first page turned to the wrong song. Ugh. Embarrassing, and I felt really bad for ruining someone else's song. I suppose those kind of experiences are good for me somehow.
I am going to miss Panera, especially my awesome managers. I never had a problem with them.
BUT
I cannot wait until I go to Maranatha!!!! I've watched my siblings grow up and leave for college and I always envied them, and at last I will be the one to go. I know I'm going to love it. I'm especially excited to take piano lessons again -- I'm hoping to get the best teacher, the head of the music department.
There you go, Danielle! I did make my way through a post. I think I had a funny story though... oh yeah. One of the shift supervisors at Panera always ties his apron in front. So one night he was taking a customer's money; he put it in the cash drawer and closed it and then turned around to get the customer's drink. But he found he couldn't move very far -- because his apron string was shut in the cash drawer!!! Oh it was so funny. I died. He didn't laugh very much though. He's lucky he's a shift so he has the tool to open the drawer, otherwise he would have had to call for help!!
Praise God for His goodness to us! |
