Finally!

So. After TWO AND A HALF MONTHS of looking for a job, I have finally found the perfect one!! I'm interning at Visual Fusion! It's an actual graphic design studio! The name alone sounds exciting, but it's also located right in old town in downtown Wichita! I'm only working 10 hours a week, which may require another small part time job, but they're going to take me to their client meetings and I'm going to help them with production stuff!! SOO perfect!! 
The Lord has taught me a lot while waiting for this job. I can't say that I've been completely patient. It has made me think a lot about what causes me to be joyful: is it the Lord and His promises to me, or is it my "happiness" in this world. There were many, many times during all of this waiting that I was depending on my circumstances to find joy, and, shockingly enough, I wasn't finding any there! I realized, something that I've always known, that ONLY looking to the LORD will bring me TRUE joy! He NEVER fails! I am so thankful for that! 
So there's just a little something that I've been thinking a lot about! :) Thank you so much for all of you who were praying for me! I know it was only the Lord who allowed me to get this job, His timing is perfect!
