My First Week On The Job

This is what my job consists of:

• Wake girls up in the morning .... at least 3 times
• Check each room for cleanliness
• Welcome girls back to dorm after they are done with school
• Plan activities for girls on the weekends
• Make sure they go to bed on time
• Encourage them to go to meals
• Help them with their homework

I get paid to love on girls .... I get paid to love on girls! It's amazing, there's very little stress and it's quite nice. Sure, there are some girls who have attitudes but every where you go there are people with attitudes. I can make a difference... by showing love to these girls, I can make a difference. 

My first morning waking them up, I went to each room and I had the song "Good Morning" by Mandisa on my iPad and I blared it as I knocked on their doors to wake them up. Some sat up in bed wondering what the heck was going on and others looked at me like I was crazy but it was fun. The next time I went around I had the song "Happy" by Pharrel on my iPad. Some smiled at me and others still thought I was crazy. 

My work schedule is pretty easy and I get most days from around 9am until 3:30 pm off. Today I went down the mountain and went shopping to buy Abbey some dry dog food and I went to get a pedicure. The dog food cost three times as much as the pedicure ... :). I made it home without being run over or running over anyone. I call that a success.

My job is fun ... and I'm hopeful that I can share my faith with some of these girls. Loving on them is the first step. Can you love on someone who needs it? Can you make a difference in someones life? 

Enjoy your day!
