my krispy kreme adventures!

so, tonight eposide of the krispy kreme adventures was exciting. for about 4 hours of my 6 all time did was stand at the line -- where the donuts are being made,glazed, and cooled -- and "catch" donuts.

you are probably asking "what does catch donuts mean?" . . . well, it's the donuts lingo for putting the hot, newly made donuts on little black trays -- a dozen at a time. you then place them on racks -- the rack holds 46 dozen donuts. i swear if i see another orignal glazed or a blueberry gazed donut i'm going to cry -- i'm probably going to see them in my sleep tonight.

but desite my busyiness. . . God gave me a cool opportunity to share my what i believe. diane, one of the cool managers at the store, also lives in b.f. -- actually she lives in westmayfield. she shared that when she decides to take the turnpike home, she always thinks of me as she is traveling through college hill. i told her she passed right by my house -- she inquired where -- and i asked her if she had ever seen a porch with a huge cross on it and a tree what grows down.

she commented that yes she had -- it's one of the few houses she pays attention to. . . she asked me why i had a cross on my porch . . . well, i got to share what it's for and why and through that i was able to share why i serve on campus - i.e. my faith.

i was cool cuz the co-worker that tends to be a bit hard to work with was asking me questions too. of course i had to share how the cross cracked my windshield, better it that an 8 ft. cross doesn't fit into a 4 door car!

but as i was driving home at midnight i began to think how just in the past two days i've been able to stretch my spiritual legs so much. . . first last night with mike - a guy who works midnights and tonight with a few of the girls -- wow! - how exciting! God desire more for me at this place -- more than just collecting a paycheck, more than me getting free donuts -- although that's a plus -- the mission staff loves me working this job! -- they benefit from it too! -- but mostly, God desires to use my life as an example, He desires to reach deb, diane, brain, jerry, sara, hanna, brenda, marcie.

God may my time at krispy kreme by honoring to you -- may each minute i'm in that store your presence be there - please go ahead of me and stir hearts -- please draw them too -- please give me chances to BOLDLY -- share my story, your story, and may you recieve all glory, honor,and praise!

Eph. 14:20-21!
