still in shock

so needless to say i have missed a few days of my blogging committment yet i think more has happened than when i actually was blogging...

to make a long story short, i have been on the look out for a job opportunity for this summer since i am graduating in a manner of weeks... last wednesday, my business prof had me come into his office and he told me of an ad agency looking to hire and intern that would most likely turn into a full time job... and the funny thing is, its right in the area of minneapolis that i wanted, and there are so many little things... like the guy who is my contact is actually a friend's husband and i had gone to their wedding a few years ago!

but another surprising thing happened that day in class... my prof made the comment "its not where you go, its Who you follow"... and i just thought that was the greatest thing... so i wrote it down... when i was in his office later, he asked me if i thought that was a good comment (i was actually thinking to myself, what a random comment this is)... then he said that i had written it... it was in the thank you card i had given him a few days earlier... its a blessing to write something and have it touch someone else, but then to have it 'repackaged' and you hear it and are encouraged by it... its definatly was one of those surprise me moments...

the other surprise me moment that day came when i found out what clients this ad agency had... several farm companies.. now someone might think the fact that i am pointing this out it odd... except that i grew up on a dairy farm so this is all something that i completely understand... and i was shocked at God's ablity to mold several different desires that we have into one thing...

there have been several other surprise me moments the last few days but i am starting to run out of steam...

one thing that i keep coming back to consistently is that He is always present and i think there are many times we do allow life to become to complex that we miss the simple moments that Jesus is desiring to touch our hearts with His surprises...
