Thank you all for your prayers! The meeting I had with the District Manager, Corey, of the Journeys in the district I work in turned out to be an offer; a promotion to Co-Manager of a Journeys store in the St louis area. The catch is that its schedule requires me working some Sundays, which complicates my role in youth ministry.
Because of your prayers, God has provided a way for me to continue serving in youth ministry, reach out with the street music ministry, and begin a more stable career by gaining on-hand experience in management. My role in youth ministry will begin to take on the role as more of a trainer, which is such a blessing to begin working with youth and families an help them find areas to serve as leaders in the church! Yesterday, it was my privilege to hand the Sunday School lesson materials over to one of our senior high students. She accepted the position without hesitation and has already began thinking of ideas for the class. A couple parents have already asked what ways they may be able to help with transportation for events and we are possibly in the works of planning a Mother/Daughter day in Forest Park. Another of the senior high students has begun expressing an interest in leading a cooking ministry on another night during the week.
I start the new position at Journeys in mid-September to make a way for me to keep my singing engagements on my calendar, and in October the manager is making a way for me to be able to still go to New York and sing music to raise funds for Shannon's Fight! The new schedule will allow me to still have some evenings free for scheduling concerts and speaking engagements, and the atmosphere has always been influenced by the music culture. I cannot be more thankful!
God has ways of supplying out needs; we must be willing to accept what He gives us and invest them for His return.
