Ooo Ooo, Me Next!

To those whom I shared the best summer of my life thus far:

Greetings from South Florida.
I don't think I need to go to into how excessively I miss you all and the community we had, I figure we all understand that. What I will say is that I hope we all take part in a community right where we're at in our own towns and cities, and hopefully contribute in the ways we did in NY or even more as God allows.
But for us here on this blog...I'm glad this blog was started up. I figure it's a way we can check up on each other, pray for each other and all that good stuff. I'm hoping you guys will be praying for me and this next chapter of my life.
For those who don't know, or might not have remembered, I graduated August 9th with a Bachelor in Fine Arts. So what does life look like for me after the fact? Well, what I can say is that I have moved back to my hometown Davie [near Miami] and I'm looking for a job. Grad school won't be happening at least for another year. I don't think the reality of where I'm at has sunk in just yet. I think it's mostly because I've been traveling so much before and after graduating. But once I settle down and take a look around...boy, I'm going to need some prayers. It's real life I'm going to face now, and I know it's not all going to be easy. What I am looking forward to is having time to work on my artwork [free from academics] and getting familiar with the art community in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area. I'm also back at my home church, and I feel God is leading me to work specifically with the high school aged girls. Pray for me about this. Oh and I should mention that I do have a job opportunity working as an assistant for a Nieman Marcus gallery, so if you read this soon, pray that this might work out, and if it doesn't that God would lead me to a better job.
I think that's all I'm going to write for now. I'd write more but I'm tired, and if I waited any longer to post it would have never happened, yada-ya, and so forth. I hope more of you guys post; it's been like 2 people for a couple weeks now, and me being the "quiet" one to post third...we've got to do better than this, folks. But honestly, I do want to hear from you, so stop hesitating and make a post, friend.
&&& I'm done.
