Where in the world do I begin with this blog. I just got back from a wonderful dinner at Bahama Breeze with some of the girls, and we have been laughing ever since we got home. They really make this amazing even when I'm down at my lowest. I've had the flu the last couple of days, which set me back because I ended up calling in sick. I caught it from my poor roommate Trish who has had it over a week now. Lots of my coworkers have been sick as well. Hopefully this 48 hour flu is all for me!
There was a magic moment today that inspired me to blog again. I was at work at Jambo House, and like any other Wednesday it was pretty slow with a good mix of people. The kid next to me started to check a lady in, and the managers started shuffling around. My leader told me to stop what I was doing and go to that guest, because they were going to be our "family of the day". I was excited and we all clapped, and I asked my leader what the reason was, or if it was just a random family. He said this woman had called in a while back, requesting to have a Savanna View room because they had just booked for a value standard room. After talking a bit, the Cast Member found out that this family's house had just burnt down, and they were going on a vacation to get away from the stress of it. This captured my heart, but then my managers stepped to the other side of the desk, and as the woman's family arrived to the desk, my manager gave them comp tickets, gift cards, and announced that we were upgrading them to the vice presidential suite. The woman broke down in tears and her husband just held her; it was so incredible. The vice presidential suite can run up to $3,000 per night. When they arrived to the room they cried again and they kids even said how shocked they were; it truly was a magic moment. I got tears in my eyes as they walked away, seeing how genuinely thankful and happy they were. That family will never ever forget that moment. I'm so thankful to have even witnessed this, because it gave me such a feeling of pride to work for a company that can give you that feeling. Words seriously cannot even describe it.
Work has been draining me lately, with the inconsistent shifts and the overnights; my body never knows when to sleep or eat, I'm just completely thrown off. However, next week I have 3 days of normal (ish) shifts, and then on Wednesday Mike gets here!!!! I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (HUGE understatement)
God is also really hard at work down here. The other day when I was out and about with my roomie Jess, we just happened to run into a friend from college who was down checking out an internship with Cru. He introduced me to a Cru leader he was with, and told me about their Facebook page. Jess and I came home and checked it out, and also found a church we are interested in visiting :) So many doors are being opened and I can't wait to take some steps of faith here. I just hope I can stay grounded and not spread myself too thin with everything else that I have on my plate.
I'm just overwhelmed with a feeling of gratefulness and feel God's love everywhere. If anything I know I am continuing to be humbled everyday. So thankful. I'm tired. All for now.
