After a summer of trial and error trying to discover where God was calling me to be after Eagle Eye I am now happily settled in Peoria, IL. I live 20 minutes from the Brothers of St. John and 10 minutes from where I work at the Catholic Book Store.You'd think that after spending a year with the Community of St. John, that the decision to move to Peoria would have been easy. And while, once made, it was the most right and fitting decision to make it took a lot of long hard struggles.
The one thing that remained true through my summer were the desires of my heart. To find:
- A job that was straight-up 8 hours days and 40 hour weeks
- A job I could leave at work
- A place I could put up some roots
- A place where I could find some form of Young Adult community
It was by the grace of God that I heard that Lagron-Miller was probably hiring. I'd thought of retail, and to be honest retail anywhere else wouldn't have been something I could have been happy doing. I'm employed by wonderful people at a great company and I'm still able to use skills I gained through my education. I may not understand fully why God called me here, but He has abundantly blessed me here already. I look forward to discovering the plan as we go.
