While I didn't get to sing yesterday anymore than just a run through of what I am doing at the JC Challenge today, God filled the day with so much more to consider. After blogging about Bob and Tom, I ate the last of my macaroni and cheese and headed over to the workplace to update my work schedule and meet our District Manager, Corey. Little did I know that a conversation I would start with him about what growing with the company would look like would result in what happened next, and I am still in utmost prayer about the decision.
I can not yet share all of the details, but what I can say is that my weekly "routine" would be completely turned upside down. After a private chat on a pair of couches in St Clair Mall, Corey invited me to go with him to meet a manager of the largest volumed Journeys store in St Louis. Our conversation on the way there consisted of everything from billboards and movies to corporate ranks and the use of the word "microscopically". The store we visited consists of about 8-10 times the inventory I have been use to, and twice the staff to handle it; if I owned half the merchandise in this store, I would be the jealousy of every shoe addict and the brunt end of every man's jokes, but I would have one freakin' SWEET room of shoes!
I was able to sit down with the store manager and share my story and hear his as well. In the end, an offer was made to me that would allow me to share my love of God and His Love for us to far more people, but would alter the way I serve in the Church; the Body of Christ.
What I am asking for now is a community of prayer that God grant me the ear to stay in tune with His soft whisper, the strength to persevere and devote my life to Him in a new way, and that my will not be greater than His. Will you join me in a community of prayer?
