Work Begins

So, tomorrow I begin a new chapter of my life. I begin work in a very traditional setting, and I have many emotions as I consider it. I'm a little nervous, I'm very excited by the nature of the work, I have no idea what to expect from the environment, my colleagues etc. I feel as though the events that have lead me here are definitely bigger that I am, which partially brings in some confidence that it is right, that it is where I am supposed to be, and also brings in the little anxiousness about a great unknown.

I am relating this to the abyss (and my faithful blog supporters!) because I would love to have your thoughts, prayers, words, songs, anythings this week as I start my new little chapter. Come with me as I start this new thing! My little manifesto is as follows as I begin my job:

1.) I have been talking about being more intentional in life, with what I am contributing to the space I find myself in. So, this is my pledge number one - Active contribution to life on the whole. 

2.) I am also consciously praying for purpose at work. This isn't just going to be a job for me. I want to function  in all the ways I can (this is an extension of number one, but important enough to be singled out). To serve God, and to serve others is the general heading.

This is not a real entry, I guess. Not like others have been, but I am keeping the space updated, making sure I maintain my Sunday posting now that I am back at home. I arrived in Trinidad yesterday, after my positively blissful stay in Texas. I am having to counsel myself through the vastly contrasting social situation here over my Texan home (even my British home!), but my belief in purpose, for the most part, transcends my despair.
