I love my job! Honestly this move to DC has been one of the greatest things I've ever done in my life! Over the past couple of days since being back I have realized that I am truly doing something that my heart has dreamed of and I was made for! I have to admit that it was hard leaving Rochester this time because it was such a great two weeks with my family, but the moment I was back here I couldn't wait to go out walking and enjoy the beauty of DC! It's going to sound weird, but it's really hard to explain...when I am at work I feel more alive! Living here, working at the coffeehouse, learning the business, being a protege for the church is just, simply stated, what I'm supposed to be doing. It is like I am finally myself since moving here...I just feel like I'm the Erin Holahan I was made to be and I feel so fulfilled! Not that I don't need to grow, but that is part of this whole experience...my job is something that I love and I'm learning so much about what I dream to one day accomplish and about myself as a person. I am just so confident that God has called me here to do this exact thing and that fact is what wakes me up in the morning with a smile on my face ready for another day!
I was out to dinner with friends tonight and it hit me that I am not scared living here. Of course I have to be careful and safe, but I am known to be easily fearful of situations. I have been known to make up scenarios in my head of possible things that could happen and basically scare myself, especially when I was alone! Not that I am being foolish or naive, but living in this city has brought out something in me that is freeing rather than paralyzing!
All I can say is God is good!
