With today being the final day of New Student Enrollment (NSE) with UNL, I thought it was fitting to look over my employment journey that has been this summer. :)
Leaving school, I had no plans for what I was going to be doing for work - my plan was Colorado and get a job. So for the couple weeks of downtime between school ending and moving to CO I was not working.
Off to Colorado I went! I applied for jobs, I called about jobs, and finally after a week I got an interview with Forever 21. I was excited about that one because I love Forever 21, I needed a job, and I would have enjoyed working there! The interview went well (I thought) but I never got called back. The start of God nudging me back to Nebraska started with roadblocks everytime I tried to get a summer job - including the interview at F 21 - right before I left the house for it my best friend Meghan pointed out that there was a large hole in the back of the skirt..oops. Sewed that on the way - talk about nerves!
After God kept nudging until I finally said on top of Castle Rock (in Castle Rock, CO) - "Ok, I'll go back to Nebraska. But You're going to have to do something because I have literally no plans and no job prospects. And no money. So........" I was hoping God would kind of tell me the plan for jobs but the only thing I got was -
"Have I not commanded you?
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
- Joshua 1:9
Sometimes I feel like God enjoys being cryptic - pretty sure it's because He has such a good sense of humor. So off to Nebraska I drive! Ready for something CRAZY? When I was coming back no one knew except one of my roommates and my parents because I was going to surprise the other roommate and my boyfriend. Well, Sasha (love you darling) spilled the beans to my friend Miranda (one of my goood friends - we were all RA's together my sophomore year and they are now two of my dearest girlfriends:)) the night before I was coming back and I kid you not, Miranda goes - "Does Hannah need a job?!"
So she calls me up before I'm even back into Nebraska and asks if I want a job, then less than 5 minutes later I'm getting a call from Pat McBride from UNL asking if I want the job working at NSE, I accept and within 15 minutes I had a job. Just like that. Never could I have orchestrated such perfect timing. Mind blown!
Here's what blew my mind even more.
From that job, I got hired to be a counselor at Power-Up Weekend for UNL and all the dates coincided perfectly so that I could direct camp at Manna - which was perfect because the woman who was going to had been offered another job.
I mean...what?!
Crazy. :)
So that's my summer employment. Next adventure? Fall employment. :)
