my first "real" job.

I've been a nanny, a cashier, a barista, a student orientation counselor and the list could go on. Over the last 5 years, I've had more jobs than my dad had in 33-woof. I know it is a generational thing, but it is hard to believe that things change that dramatically. Yet here I am, in yet another place of work already wondering where I will be next. And although it is not at all where I ever imagined I would be, my job and the people I work with are wonderful.

For those who don't know, I work at Here's Life Inner City-the compassionate urban ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ. I am an administrative assistant mainly helping with the Compassionate Products ministry aimed to help meet the spiritual and physical needs of the poor in the inner city. People in need are reached through these resources so they can be enfolded in the body of Christ through the urban churches we partner with.

Right now, the main item on my agenda is helping prepare for the Boxes of Love outreach. These boxes are packed with enough food to feed a family of 6, along with scriptures and other evangelistic material. and are delivered just in time for Thanksgiving, to families who may not have the means to have a meal otherwise. This year we are packing 2,750 boxes-that means we have the opportunity to feed and impact 16,500 people with the truth of the gospel! What an opportunity to be able to serve in this ministry.

Enough of me going on about my job. Right now it's good and administrative assistant has a nice ring to it, but who knows where I'll go next! And though I'm not as organized as I may like to be, I just hope that I get everything done that needs to be completed for the day.

This is what my desk looks like...

Ok, so maybe not quite this bad, but it will be a bit scattered until I have my own desk. Ha!
