the language you think in.

So I technically start my dream job tomorrow :)

“Dream Job”. That’s a big claim. But that’s just coming from someone that dreams a lot. I just AM a dreamer.

(I mean, I also had my dream dinner tonight…soup dumplings. NOM.)

But whatever…for my current state in life and mind, tomorrow I start the dream career I’ve wanted for years. It’s horrifying and exciting all at the same time…it feels kind of like when you’re scared to jump into a pool or ocean of cold water, even though it’s hot as hell out…just because you know your body is going to have to abruptly adjust to the change.

It’s kind of a career change, too. Even though interactive design is STILL design…I was formally trained in “Brand Packaging Design” at FIT. Perhaps it helped lots that I procrastinated that homework with web/interactive freelance work…

Anyway, day 1 begins at Code and Theory tomorrow, as a Junior Interactive Designer! Grateful doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about this opportunity…and  like I said in a previous entry…

But sometimes, like how a parent will take their bratty kid for an ice cream cone, we’re blessed by God anyway just because we’re loved and looked after…not because we’re perfect.

Here’s an interview DesignArray.com did with the company last month :)

It’s a strange, unexpected feeling..praying and asking God for something, and then getting exactly what you asked for…but then feeling totally undeserving of it.

Got great news today, that I’ve been dying to hear for too long :) More on it later.  

Thank you to all my friends and family who’ve cared about this and helped and prayed (and heard me rant on and on and on.)

Hate is baggage. Life’s too short to be pissed off all the time. It’s just not worth it.

Regardless of what state I’ve ever been in my rollercoaster of a faith, it has always been awesome and comforting to know I have friends and family that pray for me.

Thanks for everyone that did for me today. Because I seriously think it worked. <3

For my over caffeinated, overthinking, overly anxious mind at the moment.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God will guard your hearts and minds 

- Philippians 4:6-7

Something comforting for someone slightly overwhelmed, nervous, and impatient about all of life right now

*points at self* *points at starbucks drink*

But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay, some for honor and some for dishonor. Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.

2 Timothy 2:20-21

“He came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, he might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him.”

1 Timothy 1:15-16
