Tonight was my last night at DQ, and I must say I am so happy it is over! Yes I practiced my amazing work ethic, made a few bucks and a couple of friends....but I also made a difference--I know that for a fact. I shattered the image of "a Christian" for many of my coworkers who had given Christians a bad rap in the past. So I'm very happy with how everything ended. It was a great ride.
So with it being my last night at work, I was very happy and had alot of fun with my customers...just talking to them, smiling and joking. I went on my break, sat down with my food, and thanked my heavenly Father for the wonderful opportunities he has given me. I sat there contently eating my chicken and watching the sun set on my last day of work, so very grateful for my wonderful life. Suddenly a woman sitting at the table across from me comes over and says, "You are such a nice person. God bless you!" Wow, how cool is that? God always puts the right people in my life at the best time. As she walked alway, we both nodded and smiled, knowing that we had run into a sister in Christ. I don't know if it was my attitude or what, but she could tell. That totally made my night--that random stranger giving me words of encouragement to help me through that shift.
My night got even better. I had a couple that I totally connected with and I was having a great time talking to them. I told them about how I was moving to Florida, and the husband proceeded to tell me that I was going to Pensacola. He told me that a good family friend just graduated from there and that it was a great school. Again, God never ceases to amaze me with the people he puts in my life to encourage me!
I also ran into a woman I used to babysit for...I don't think I've seen her in about 3 years. I loved her and her kids, and it was so random how she happend to come to this particular DQ on my last night. We weren't too busy, so we were able to talk for a couple of minutes and catch up. It was great!
So...Fabulous night. God showed me that I still matter; he hasn't forgotten about me yet. My verse for the day? I think I am going to go with Philippians 4:19. "And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
