the girl opened the back door to the kitchen and gazed into the garden. the sky was dark grey and there were forecasts of thunderstorms in the area. there was the faint smell of rain on the air and although she was in the middle of town, hearing the distant sounds of traffic and pounding construction beyond the garden wall, to her the day was still beautiful. dark cloudy days were her favorite and her spirits seemed to be lifted above normal on days like this. he took a depp breath and turned inside to get to work. commenting to her co-worker about what a nice day it was going to be, she proceded to gather the materials needed to go about her various jobs around the kitchen for the morning.
like everyday for the past two years, she stood at the counter in the back room of the kitchen. today was wednesday, meaning it was gourmet vegetarian chili day. the chili was in the pot and the burner was on low. slowly stirring the chili, she reviewed all the ingredients of the deli's specialty sandwiches that she was in charge of making up for the day. she had the sprouts, cheese, cut vegetables, lettuce, avocado and ranch dressing. in her head, she constantly thought about the different things that she was going to have to do that day.
she lost herself in the hustle and bustle of the kitchen. the soft voices coming from up front, costumers talking, the sound of the knife against the cutting board, the smell of vegetables, water running in the sink and the sound of her bosses heels hitting the floor as she came into the back room were all so familiar to her. this had been her life for the the last two years, every day day after day and she liked it.
suddenly she realized that she was slipping back into her comfort zone. her body and her mind were getting used to the idea of working there another two years. another three years, or even four years. she didnt care, she liked working there. she didnt care if she worked there for the rest of her life.
but what about her new plan? what about her idea that maybe God didnt want her to work there for the rest of her life? what about that feeling of peace that she had felt so un-mistakebly only a week ago? the peace over her decision to quit working there, to do something different with her life? what about that?
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
God wants to take me out of my comfort zone so i can learn how to depend more on him. i dont want to get used to working at watsons anymore. i have to do something different with my life.
i went to c.o.s. today and made an apointment with a counselar. tomorrow afternoon at 4 i'm meeting with him to discuss my school career starting next sememster. i discovered that ive already taken and passed all of my core classes to get my AA in art. ive even already taken three general ed classes (none of that was planned). unfortunaly, i failed two of them due to the fact that i didnt do any homework.
anyway, im excited. Lord willing, im quitting my job and becoming a full time student again. im currently saving my money becuase if theres one thing i dont understand, its how students can afford to go to school. i dont get it.
pray for me. im not a good student.
peace.
