The Office

So I ask myself a lot, “Self, is what you’re doing with your life worth something?” What do I want to do with the rest of these about 50ish years I have left? For only God knows (literally) what reason, Rock Hill is where I need to be. This week I got hired up by the Parks, Recreation and Tourism department, the future I've been wanting since I pulled my first prank up in there 2 and a half years ago. I'm way beyond blessed to first of all have a job. On top of that it's a job that not only do I LOVE and not only is it what I went to school for, but it's a job that effects people. The world of recreation and a job with city governement is the most personal job I could get. Luckily I get to work with humans of every background, race, education level, salary level. My main job is in Youth Programming but I get to work with children, senior citizens, mentally handicapped, I'll get to hang with the poorest person in York County and the City Manager of Rock Hill. What does this mean to me? It means God has given me a freaking awesome job. He's given me the opportunity to effect an entire city for His glory (in a microscopic way on my part). Christians always walk around talking about creating community and the importance of it and sure I'm on board with that. My job PAYS me to create community and work in the community. God calls some people to live in countries I can't pronounce and some to live in small towns and big cities and some to live in Rock Hill, South Carolina. All I know is that I'm so stoked to get to live here for now and get the opportunity to effect just a small part of a city for King Jesus! Game. On.
