Life's little Blessings

So, i started a new job! Coffee Plantation. At first i thought, hey this is going to be so fun, and don't get me wrong i enjoy it a great deal. But i have to say, it is quite an eye opener realizing how many young people are lost. I have been placed in situations where I have had the chance to share God with some of my coffee house buddies, and i have taken chances and really tried my best to show God's love to people. Surprizingly enough, i think they actually notice something different about me, they can see something in me and i know they would be so much happier if they had it, the Lord. I know it's not only because i don't say the "F" word every five seconds, or even the fact that i don't go out and party, but it's the way i care for them, i think they are slightly fulfilled with it. I was blessed recently when i man in his late 40's walked in and asked if Eric, one of the guys i work with, if he had come back from his recent trip to Spain. I smiled and said, "Yeah, he's back and he said he really enjoyed his time there." The man replied also with a smile and said, "Oh great! I had been talking to him about pictures and what not." I added, "Oh, are you a photography?" After some small talk back and forth, i dicovered he was a photography and just had gotten back from vactiioning all around. He went to his car and grabbed some blown up pictures that he had taken, and they seriously took my breathe away. They were beautiful!
I have learned allot working in a non Christian place, and i think God has big planes for me. I can't wait to see what's instore next!!

Mr. Gregg filled me in on one of your opportunities and your heart about the whole thing. I'm going to be praying that the Lord speaks through your witness at work.
