God answers prayer.

by Samantha

It’s true. He really, really does. I can’t begin to express how much He has given me…how much joy He has brought into my life– even in the midst of pain that the past few years have brought me. I can’t stop smiling. I can’t stop laughing. God is my strength. And He always will be. There will always be that part of me, that even when I reach my breaking part, I have faith that things will get better. Things will pick up. Because God is good.

God is good.

Today was my job orientation for my new job. I am going to be a recreational attendant at the Marriott Vacation Club International. As scary as it is to switch from my job at Disney, I have an amazing feeling about this new path. I don’t feel like there are walls trapping me in from everything I want to pursue in my life. I don’t feel like I’m stuck anymore. I feel like an entire new world has just been opened up to me. God has blessed me with wonderful friends who have supported me and fought for me during this entire hiring process. I’m at loss for words when it comes to how thankful I am.

I’m really looking forward to see where God takes me with this. I’m looking forward to building great relationships. I’m looking forward to endless possibilities and dreams coming true. My heart is excited. There were many times today where I almost burst into tears because I am so overwhelmed by the opportunity I have been given.  

With that said, it was weird not working at Disney today. It’s definitely going to take some getting used to. The hardest part is going to be not being around the people who I love with my entire heart every single day. I really, really hope people stay in touch. I’m not disappearing. I promise.

I really need a new phone. I’m starting to think that I’m going to try something different. I love my iPhone, but this is my third one…in two years. I don’t know if it’s my computer, my phone, me, or all of the above, but I have the hardest time with the iPhone. It drives me crazy. Right now I’m thinking about a Blackberry or the Palm Pre. Opinions?

I’ve downloaded a lot of new music lately.

 Here’s a bit of what I have been listening to…some old and some new.

1. All We Ever Needed- Rush of Fools
2. Beautiful Now- Matthew Brauer
3. Fine- Jaymes Reunion
4. For Love of You- Audrey Assad
5. Giving It All- The Michael Gungor Band
6. Heartbeat- Remedy Drive
7. I’ll Be- Newsboys
8. Just Might Change Your Life- Sidewalk Prophets
9. My Help Comes from the Lord- The Museum
10. Rediscover You- Starfield
11. Rescue- Michael Gungor
12. Show Me How to Love- Sidewalk Prophets
13. White Man- The Michael Gungor Band
14. Wrap Me in Your Arms- Lisa Gungor

I always tell people that if I had one dollar and it was my last dollar for the rest of my life. I would spend it on iTunes.

I bought a song by Emerson Drive the other day that I liked a lot, too, but I can’t remember what it’s called and I’m too lazy to switch my song on iTunes right now.

Currently, this is the song that I can’t get out of my head…or heart.

Hope everyone has had a great start to the week. I’m working the rest of the week, and I get to sit for Angie tomorrow! Looking forward to that a lot.
