A Little More Like Home

Ecclesiastes 3:1 For EVERYTHING there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.

So after many weeks of unemployment, discouragement, frustration and so on.. I'm so happy to bring you good news that this girl... HAS A JOB!

And not just any job.. I'm working with a cutting-edge company who helps businesses successfully bring their creative vision, for a website and brand, to life through technology.


Propane Media is a digital marketing and advertising agency that started in Memphis in the 90s, helping companies to create or enhance their digital footprint.

Simply put, for my not so tech savvy friends... they help companies build websites/ mobile apps/ create facebook and google advertisements etc. to reach more people and build their organization.

And I'M working for this forward-thinking company!!!

I can't tell you how grateful I am for this opportunity, even if I had to wait for what feels like an eternity, to find it.

I believe wholeheartedly that there is truth in today's verse.. there IS a season for EVERYTHING and God has plans to work in you during each of those seasons... whether you be at the peak of the mountain or in the lowest valley.. never think for a minute that any part of your life is without purpose.


Now you must see my little "cube"as I like to call it..


No judgement on the decor please! It is, after all, only my second day of employment.


It has already started to feel "a little more like home" with just these few little touches!

I just think it needs a bit more red and blue, though..
Don't my Rebel friends agree?! Hotty Toddy!

You can learn more about Propane Media on their website and if you have a Facebook or Twitter account, please take a minute to follow us!

My responsibilities as Interactive Coordinator (that's my title y'all..ahhh!) include the upkeep of social media for the Memphis branch, we are also in Destin, FL too! (Pause while I scream like a little girl ha).. I'll also be working with new clients/agencies, being somewhat of a liaison between them and the programmers in house who create their websites, coordinating luncheons and meetings etc. etc.

I'll even be doing a little traveling between Memphis, Nashville (where a few clients are) and Destin!! HAPPY DAY!

It's my first week people so I'm still learning all this stuff. But thus far.. I'M ECSTATIC!!

But friends, I must be completely honest.
Once I laid my head down last night, I had a very real moment of fear consume me.

The realization hit me that life as I knew it... backpacks and school supplies, breaks between classes and meeting up with friends for lunch in the cafeteria, naps and pulling all-nighters, constantly on the look-out for a job...

ALL of that.. that which is comfortable, is not going be there anymore.

And the little person inside of me FREAKED.

But my better half and my jiminy cricket of a mother both told me the same thing (which obviously was God telling me) that it's ok that that season is now over. I'm moving on and growing up. But most importantly...

God will bless me in this season, just as he did in the last.

I'm putting on the armor of God today and nothing, not even fear, is going to keep me from experiencing God's richest blessings!

Father, please forgive us when we allow fear to plant roots within us. Help us to give all our anxieties to you, so that we may be able to see all the many blessings around us... Blessings that can only come from you! Thank you for being a Father who loves His children so very much! Help us put on your armor as we head to the workplace, to our classrooms, to our communities.. so that the concerns of this world won't seem as big as we sometimes make them out to be. -Amen

Until next time :)
-A, the EMPLOYED girl
