So, I have another job! I didn't even really try to get it! I have moved into part time at the church, and so I thought in passing that maybe I could work at the local coffee shop. I might have mentioned this to a few people, but I didn't think anything would come of it. Well, this morning I went to get myself a coffee, and thought that maybe I would bring it up with the owner to see if it would even be a possibility. It was. In fact, before I even got to completely explain what I was about she already said yes, and told me that she had talked to someone about hiring me last night, and was going to approach me on it today. I start my training tomorrow, and I'm on my own on Friday. Talk about not even trying! This was just handed to me!
I am feeling slightly overwhelmed for all that is on my plate at this moment, but I can see this coffee shop job as being a real blessing, and a real advantage to being this in community. I'm going to get to know everyone (as everyone drinks and likes coffee), and everyone is going to get to know me outside of the church setting. And it will be really nice to get out of the office a few times a week.
It's this quote I wish to be my motivation:
"The more I think it over, the more I feel that there nothing more truly artistic than to love people...Christ is more of an artist than the artists. He works in the living spirit and the living flesh, he makes men instead of statues."

I am finding out that there are a lot of people in Alberta that are danged cool. I will have to get up there some time post-Slovakia. Thanks for swingin into my part of the blogosphere. I'll be back to visit yours again too. By the way, congrats on the job. I loved the VanGogh quote!
I too really like the VanGogh quote. Have fun at your new coffee shop dude, I hope it is a refreshing new place to work. Do you get to have all the coffee you want? mmmmmmm.... coffee.
Jess!! You are joining me in the rank of barrista!! Barrista sista! The foam matters, don't fake the foam, get it right...
You have to come over to my home and see my new art that I bought. It's a print of a painting by a woman from Torrington (Can anything good come out of Torrington?), and it's VanGogh from one of his self-portraits, except he's holding a guitar with gorgeous swirling flames coming out of it!!! Yah!! I had to buy it. Technically, Ralph Klein bought it for me...thanks for the dough, bro!
So after working there for a week, how do you like the new job? I'm looking forward to hearing about your adventures @ work.
