Before everything gets too busy today I want to go ahead and post. I was out of my dorm by 9:30 this morning (not really all that early) and headed to Staples to print off some of my projects. The lady told me it would take about 30 minutes so I went off to Walmart and Big Lots to pick up a few more items. When I got back she had found a typo in my work and had stopped the printing. It was very sweet of her and she even didn't make me pay for the $30 of paper I had just wasted. Thankfully, I brought my computer so I whipped up a new file and it was printing in no time. Being low on gas, I decided to just sit around and wait. I had a few things I could work on and I didn't mind doing it right there.
Fast-forward to 15 minutes later. A guy from New York walks in. He needed to print off some programs for a dinner that was being hosted at Harding. Well, he saw my work being printed and asked the lady what it was for. She told him it was for a young lady's senior show and he said back to her he would hire that young lady. What he didn't know was I was standing over off to the side and could hear everything he was saying. The lady working behind the counter told him I was right over there if he wanted to talk to me. He came over and introduced himself as Jerrell Hill, aka the founder and owner of Timothy Hill Children's Ranch. He was in Searcy for an annual dinner hosted at Harding University. He also asked me what my future plans were. Now here's where I'm a little disappointed with myself. I told him I was moving to Tulsa and was planning on living there, at least for the time being. I didn't even tell him if plans fell through in Tulsa that I would shoot him an email. I didn't even seem excited that he was talking to me and was willing to hire me.
But anyways, I can't beat myself up for that. A wonderful opportunity fell into my lap today. If it hadn't been for a typo I wouldn't of crossed paths with that man, he wouldn't of seen my work, and he wouldn't of opened a possible door for me. Now here's a reason I'm confused about all of this. I honestly believe God is at work in my life. Was this an act of God? I was counting on Tulsa. Is this where I should actually be? It's working with design and children and people in need, and if you've been keeping up with my blog you should know that all three are big parts in my life. Please, please, please, I'm begging for prayers with this one. I don't have to make any decisions until August. I just ask that you pray that I don't get scared and run away if this is what God wants from me. I'm finding so many reasons why I couldn't do this, but then again what I can't do, God can. So please pray, pray God shows me the path intended for me and that I don't get scared if it's out of my comfort zone.
