Father, let my heart be after You: First Day of Work

"And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." Colossians 3:17

I experienced my first day of work on the boardwalk yesterday. I am working in food, which is something I have never done before, but I really did enjoy it! We stayed fairly busy, which I LOVE because it makes the time go by much faster. I was positioned at a funnel cake place and it was so much fun. I was blessed with an awesome “leader” worker, Raefel, who was really interested in getting to know me and Ethan (another Crusade student). He kept saying that we Crusaders were cool, and that he enjoyed working with “our kind.” Haha Because this past week I have been around my project, I have forgotten about my accent, until yesterday. I asked a customer, “would ya’ll like whip cream on your funnel cake?” and Raefel said I like that, in confusion I said “what?” He said I like the word “ya’ll.” My southern accent sticks out a LOT, but it is a neat tool to draw people into telling them why I am here and why I love the Lord! I was also reminded how much I love to make people smile, and how fun it is to do simple things that will bring such joy to them. A simple smiley face of whip cream brought them joy and in turn made me happy. I am so excited about where I work, how I can serve people through my job, and the relationships that are already starting to build through my job. Please continue to pray for me and my team as this will be our first full week of work!
