Movin' on up!

A couple years ago when I was new to Rowan, I went through a breakup and found myself questioning if I had done the right thing. My chaplain had me do a silly card trick with him -- you know, the kind where he finds your card in a shuffled deck. The point was that no matter what I do to mix up my life, as long as I sincerely seek God, I'll receive whatever is best for me and shouldn't worry.

I remembered that moment last week when I got a casual email from a journalist I know, explaining that her publication wanted to talk with me about a part-time position they were creating. Two days and a 0-minute interview later, I walked out with a post-graduation job in the field.

God is so interesting.

After a weekend of panic, I settled into the idea of running a monthly mini-magazine. Essentially, being a Christian is accepting whatever curve balls come your way gracefully. I'm thrilled about this opportunity, and suppose that it means God thinks I can handle it. That's a note of confidence for me. :)

It's starting to hit me that suddenly, with this job, my adulthood has finally arrived. The moment I've been working toward since I was 17 is suddenly staring me in the face. It's a little intimidating and strange imagining that I'm closing this chapter of my life -- college life -- and starting over. But at the same time, I know that I've been  stuffed with all these crazy multimedia skills in order to do something like this, so it's not unfamiliar. Just...large. And that's okay.

I promise I'll have more to write about starting with next week's entry -- we're entering Lent on Wednesday, so lots will be going on. Thanks for coming along with me.
