Crowd Control

In two days, I’ll have been home for a month.

Wow.

Really, how time does fly.

It’s off to think back on the past and remember that at one time, it was my present and this was my past, but now I’m back in my “past”, so to speak, here in Franklin, TN, and it’s my present. But the biggest thing to remember is, it’s not the past! I’m moving forward, not backward! I came forward home, and when I go to New Zealand again, I’ll be going forward to New Zealand, not back. What a mindset!

I’ve been so blessed to see so many of my dear friends in the past month and I can’t wait to see the rest of them soon! Skype is such a blessing, I love being able to still chat with my friends from YWAM – man they are all so beautiful and I can’t believe I took them all for granted at one time!

Work is really good – I love the Franklin Theatre so much. Literally, I feel so at home there. My co-workers are so positive and uplifting, the atmosphere is so fun and relaxed and I actually enjoy going to work! Believe it or not, I don’t count down the hours until I get to leave the building! Haha, Monday was a pretty funny day. No concessions, not too much cleaning. Nope, my job was crowd control. But not just any crowd control. Middle school crowd control.

I know I loved field trips as a kid, but seriously, whoever thought that those things were a good idea? I’m surprised our teachers didn’t murder us in middle school.

On the bright side, I got a super official walky-talky and I think everyone looks more intimidating, more in-charge, more “I know what I’m doing” when they have a walky-talky. I want to wear a walky-talky every shift!

 

I love being a daughter of Christ. Oh gosh, I just feel His love everywhere I go. I think the way spring awakens the earth makes me awaken to the glory of His presence, the wonder of His love. Although the ground is still brittle and brown, trees are beginning to bloom, ever so tenderly, and there are hints of life everywhere. I feel as if I, too, am replying to the sun’s warmth, ready to show my beauty to the one who calls it out of me.

I love life, and though, sometimes, I feel ever so dry and ever so stale, I know it’s only a season and I just have to keep pushing through to see the full glory God has in the next one!

Peace out girl scout.
