First day back at Henry's...

Wow! So if I ever doubted whether or not I should go back to Henry's while I look for another marketing position, may the doubting stop now!

Yesterday was my first shift back serving at Henry's. Yeah, not ideal, but necessary to bring in some money. I was only scheduled to work the lunch; however, when I arrived, one of the managers asked me if I'd like to work a corporate party during the dinner hour: lot's of people ordering copious amounts of alcohol and eating nothing less than steak and seafood. So I knocked out a VERY profitable lunch (especially for a Monday), took a Flatiron break (1/2 price steak for servers), turned my day into a "double", and walked away with my most profitable day serving ever. To give some perspective without hitting hard numbers, I made exactly the same amount as my weekly unemployment check (in 10.25 hours of work). If that isn't God saying, "Thank you for finally listening", I don't know what is. What a blessing!

I'm scheduled for 5 shifts this week and 6 the next. It's pretty grueling, but fun to reconnect with old coworkers and get back into a groove. I realize not every shift will be nearly as profitable as yesterday's, but He knows we sometimes need billboard-sized, neon lit signs with strobe lights and giants with megaphones screaming, "His will this way; come to the lights and follow His will." Meanwhile, I'll keep looking for another career position. This is going to work out in His time.

Thanks for the continued prayer.

Kurt, It is so great to see God busily blessing you guys. He does have interesting ways of leading us and reminding us of his tender care.
