Yesterday marked the end of a nearly five year career with Starbucks. It is hard to believe that I no longer work there. In fact, I don't think it will actually sink in until tomorrow when I head to my new job. I remember how excited I was when I got hired at Starbucks. I thought it was the coolest job ever. I remember my first day and doing my first impressions. Hearing all about the company and doing my first ever coffee tasting. I was tasting Tanzania. I was most afraid to take orders over the headset. I thought that there was no way I would ever learn everything or be quick on bar. Now it is almost five years later and just about everything of that job has become second nature. I find myself accidently reaching for the "b" button on my headset when I am at home and trying to talk to people, only to realize that I am not at work. Or answering my phone "thanks for choosing Starbucks". It is definitely going to be an adjustment not working there. I knew I would not be there forever, but it is still sad to leave. I have made some really amazing friends in the years that I have worked there. However, I am excited for this new journey. I am ready to have weekends off and actually get to see my family. It will be such a nice feeling to go to church on Sunday evenings and not feel exhausted from being up since 4. I know this is the change God wants for me, its just hard to put myself back into the "newbie" role and start completely over. I know it will be a great change for me. I know that I am moving forward in my life and that is very exciting. So while I close the doors on one chapter of my life, I am looking forward to starting the next chapter and seeing what it is God is going to bring my way!
Until Next Time..

Time to rethink this blog...
I started this blog mostly for myself. I wanted an outlet to write. As I have come to realize, I am not a great writer. I do not use big words. But I do have things to say. I am a person with real feelings. There are some real things going on in my life and I think it is important to talk about them. So while I think of new names for this blog, I will at least create a new theme for what I want to talk about.
First things first, I have prayed and prayed about where God wants me. Oregon? Montana? What is the verdict? Well, I feel that God has told me to stay in Montana. For whatever reason, I do not know. All I can say is that he has something planned for me here. So for now, I am staying in Montana. And I am so happy to say that I know I am making the right choice in staying here.
Some of my earlier posts were written in a very dark and depressed stage. I was not feeling great because of an ankle sprain that had me laid up for weeks. Nobody would feel good about themselves or their life if they had numerous hours to sit around and contemplate life and where they were. However, I am happy to say that i have snapped right out of that. I am much happier now. I am learning to trust that God has a plan for me and for my life. I know now that he will help me learn from each and every circumstance in my life. I am thankful for that opportunity.
I want to be positive in this blog. I do know that the biggest thing going on with me is trusting God to bring "Mr. Right" into my life. So there is a good chance that I will talk about that often. But I want to have a positive outlook on it. I want to be able to encourage other singles out there that God really has chosen someone for each and every one of us. Someone that is better than we ever could have imagined they would be. I am so excited to see who that is for me and for my friends and family.
I have spent a lot of time praying for change in my life and for direction. And I feel like God has delivered. I am not sure what will happen in the next year, but what I do know is that he has some serious curve balls headed my way. For the first time in my life, I can say that I am incredibly excited to see what it could be. I am finally open to change and to following the Lord in any way that I can. So all I have to say is.... BRING IT ON!
I certainly will try to write more often. And if anyone decides to follow this blog, I hope that what I talk about will help you out or encourage you. But for now, I must get some rest.
Goodnight.
