RANDOM EVENTSSSSS

ITS SO CRAZY how life turns out!
I went out today to get a few additional items for my work closet, and right as Im waiting for an available dressing room I see JORDAN.

I should explain who JOrdan is.
Freshman year of college, I used to hang out with Marque and Jordan, a random black guy and his random white roommate who lived in the dorm across from me.

I hadnt seen Jordan since freshman year, cuz he changed schools, and it was just SO WEIRD cuz it made me realize how many RANDOM people I know in different places in their lives. And to run into a friend from HUntsville (2008) in Austin (2011). Its also really cool having that "Hows Life going?" conversation.

LAst year about February, I was at HEB in Austin at like midnight with a friend, and I ran into JOsh, my mentor from freshman year, who also left the University.

SO I guess I have to keep my eyes open around here.

ONE WEEK DOWN! MANY TO GO

So, I completed my first week as an Intern in the Office of State Representative Eric Johnson in the 82nd Texas Legislature.
How was it, you may ask??????????? It was pretty much everything I hoped it would be.

Here are the silly things I am excited about!
1. Having my OWN desk! Lol, I love it. But bringing a picture might be doing the most cuz Its not that big, and I REALLY want to make sure its SUPER Organized all the time. Those who know me know, that is a challenge.
2. Dressing up! I do like being Business Professional all the time. Its probably gonna get old, but until then, I am LOVING IT. Forces me to take myself seriously, but not TOO seriously, never that.

Cant think of anything else right now. My job entails many things from checking the mail and answering the phone to helping with constituent correspondence, reading up on Bills proposed to the Legislature. a.k.a. All potential new laws for the Citizens of Texas. I will discover more as we go.

Learned so many things this week that I could have NEVER learned in a classroom or a textbook. Example:Introducing myself. I think I met and introduced myself to over 50people this week,and My name is ___________ evolved so much from AYO, to my full first name to my ful first and last name to a few variations of it. At one point I thought to myself, you are TERRIBLY inconsistent! So I finally decided I'll be Ayo Shittu. May not sound important, but IT IS, at least to me.

Another thing I learned this week was to always be thankful. As I ride the bus down Congress Avenue and begin seeing the Capitol on the Horizon, I get really thankful that the Lord saw it fit to grant me my heart's desire when I let him know I wanted to be here. So, everytime I get caught up in what could have been I am reminded to be thankful and think of where I COULD BE.

On that note PURSUE HOLINESS
EAT 'EM UP KATS

AND Goooooooo TEXAS

Prettty cool, huh?

Letter from God!

I am your ever adoring and loving father who delights in you every moment of your life (1 John 3:1). I enjoy your times of quiet rest. Your times of respite are very precious to ME and enable Me to speak in ways I otherwise could not. Nothing will ever separate you from my love again (Romans 8:38-39)but your choices may separate you from my wisdom. I want to show you great and marvelous things (Jeremiah 33:3). If you seek me with all your heart, you will find me (Deuteronomy 4:29).

TO BE CONTINUED

ALL MOVED IN

SO, If you read a few blogs ago, I spoke of applying for more internships because I didnt get one I wanted. I learned SO MUCH through that process, One of which being- Rejection SUCKS!

No, seriously! BUT, Now I will be working an Internship in the OFfice of a STate Rep from Dallas. NOw, without getting into strenously boring details, THis internship will be me doing the EXACT SAME THING I got rejected for, except with no $$ which is COOL, because my FATHER who provided me with this AMAZING opportunity will see me through this $170 to live off a month deal. Father, again, meaning the ONE who knew me before my parents were even born.

I just moved into my apartment in Austin, TX.

I am so eternally grateful, because i WANTED THIS SO BAD! And prayed often about it this summer, and fall semester. And God is giving me what I want in the way that BEST brings him Glory......''HE IS TIGHT LIKE THAT!!!!!!!

So, I will be keeping you all updated as I live and thrive in a NEW city, make new friends and see what the Lord has in store for me.... I CANT WAIT
