DC or bust


Yet again I find myself sitting here. Blogging. After a very very long absence. It's been a very busy summer. I can't believe it's almost over!

What have I been up to this summer? Working, working, and working some more. I was blessed enough to have an internship during the school year that let me stay on full time this summer until I found something more permanent. I've also been busy applying for jobs and going to the not so occasional (frequent maybe?) summer wedding.

Many of you know that I've been diligently applying for jobs in Washington, DC. Until now, I've had little to no luck finding gainful employment. That all changed a few weeks ago. Sort of.

I was offered an internship a few weeks ago with the National Republican Congressional Committee that starts on Monday. While, this isn't permanent, it does give me the opportunity to be in DC, make some contacts and hopefully get a job!

I'm SO EXCITED for this opportunity, but I there are a lot of unknowns. I have no clue how long it will take me to find a job, I don't know many people in the DC area and I have no clue how I'm going to handle the cold winter months! With so many unanswered questions, I am relying on entirely on the Lord. While I could worry, there is no point in that. One of my favorite Christian bloggers one time said "you are bigger than a bird." Two words: SO TRUE. In Matthew, Jesus talks about how He takes care of the birds and then asks, "are you not more valuable than they?" I have to keep reminding myself that I am bigger than a bird and the Lord will take care of me however He sees fit. He goes before me to DC and watches over me.

That's all for now. I need to do some packing and figure out how to fit my whole entire life into my jeep grand cherokee. Suggestions are welcome.

I'll be sure to keep you all updated on life in the nation's capital!
