Find Out Who Your Friends Are


What an amazing three weeks it has been, since moving out of Montgomery, Alabama. I truly believe that God has a purpose for me in Tennessee. It has taken 5 months for me to be in Tennessee. I am very glad at how things have worked out, and look forward to finally settling down in a place that I can call home.

So, I moved out of the house in Montgomery, on September 22nd. Not knowing what the future holds, and I really had no idea where I needed to go to find a job. During my first week, I was trying to get reestablished, while looking for a job. I had to transfer all of my insurance, and licences to Tennessee. I have finally finished transfering everything to home address. I really had no idea where to go because I have not been in Tennessee for 3 years, and I was getting a little disappointed in how things were turning out. I spent a lot of time in Murfreesboro because that is where I wanted to be, but God had a different plan in mind. Well, I spent part of the day talking to an advisor from MTSU about my career opportunities, and where I could go, but nothing really came of it. All I knew was that I had a job interview with VF Imageware, and I have been waiting on this position for about 5 months. Also, in all of this, I was suppose to interview for a youth ministry position in White House, TN, but I prayed about it, and thought about it, and it was not the right time to get back involved in youth ministry. I would have been going there for the wrong reasons. I just could not do that.

I went for the interview at VF Imageware, in Nashville, on a Wednesday, and it went great, but I had to go take about 4 test and pass them all, before I got the job. So, I had to make another trip to VF on that following Friday, to take all the test, and I scored above average in about every category. They offered me the job, and I accepted, and I will be starting on November 5th. I am very excited about this opportunity because I will be closer to family and friends.

In all the hustle and bustle of becoming a citizen of Tennessee, I have been hanging out with friends, and doing things that I not been able to do in 3 years. I am so happy about being in this state. My attitude on life has changed, and I am more positive about the things that are to come. I have found a job, and I am fixing to move to Nashville, and plus I believe I have found a church that I am going to get involved in. I am going to get back involved in helping the youth at the church I attend. Something that I have missed out on for almost a year. Also, I went on the Christian Student Center retreat with MTSU, and I had an amazing weekend. This just feels like home. It is great to be back!
