Praise the Lord!

This post is a bit belated, and most of you probably know and have heard... BUT...

I RECEIVED MY INTERNSHIP! I found out about a week and a half ago, and it was my Christmas present. And truly an answer to prayer.

I was trying to tell myself that I was going to be thankful for whatever, even if I didn't get the job. And I was still going to praise God no matter what, even if it wasn't what I wanted.
Honestly I think it would have been good for me not to get the internship, and let God really test my patience and trust in Him.

But He has blessed me, so so much. Everything is working out better than I could imagine!

I start at the beginning of the new year. I think I'm working for one week in the afternoons while I finish up the mini-mester I'm taking right now. (Which btw, is easy and I have a friend in it!)
Then I'm headed for Florida with Darcy for a week.
Then.. the next day after I get back, school and work both start up.


Today was my last day of work at my aunt and uncles farm. I've been doing bookkeeping work there for about 3 years, and it was kind of bittersweet! I LOVED the fact that I got to work for them and stay caught up with what was going on there. I'm going to feel out of the loop now!

It's amazing how when I started there I really didn't know I was even going to go for accounting. I was considering it, but wasn't so sure... I decided just a few months after working there.
I learned so much at the job too. I actually applied a lot of stuff I would learn in school, helping me not to forget it. I feel much more prepared for this internship because of this job I had, thanks to my family.
My cousin Emily, who was pretty much my boss, has dealt with so much with having me as an employee. She has taught me so much and was always so patient with me. And flexible... especially around my school stuff. So thankful I had her as my first boss, and that type of a job as my first job.

I feel like everything has worked out so perfectly as far as timing, etc.
God certainly had a plan for me even before I truly knew Him.

I also quit my bi-weekly cleaning job. I'm still planning on teaching my students, as long as they're willing to be flexible around my work schedule.

It's going to be a crazy semester... especially since it's tax season and I'm taking 15 credit hours on top of it... plus teaching. But I'm so excited to see where this internship takes me as far as learning goes!

Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. ~1 Chronicles 29:13

Starting? Makes me a little nervous the more I think about. I know I'm going to be over loaded, but I'm excited. And I know God will provide!

But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. ~Phil. 4:19
