One Step into the "Real" World...and the World to Come

Yesterday was my last day at  Graduate Admissions Office I've worked in for the past three years. Today, I finished cleaning out my desk.
Today I had my first "real world" job interview. (whoa)
It lasted two hours and I met a total of four people who sat me down and asked pages of questions to see if I would fit to be a pathology lab aide.
I had a celebratory Chik-fil-a lunch with my dear friend Natalie.
Today, I finally started packing up my stuff in the apt I've been blessed to live in in the past year. I'm moving to an unknown place next week.
Tonight, my friend Sarah came over and ate Indonesian noodles for the first time. I was introduced to the  BBC "Sherlock Holmes" series, which i highly recommend.


This morning, I read Psalm 86 and Rev 7 and listened to this song, which I first heard when I attended the conference it was recorded at. I began worshiping the Lord as I contemplated how "all the nations You have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify Your name" (ps 86:9) along with Rev. 7:9-12:

"After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.
I could do nothing but fall on my face and join in the worship. My heart explodes with joy at the thought of peoples from every corner of this earth, past, present, and future, worshiping the only One who is worthy. And the thought of heaven! Oh the thought of heaven tingles me from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet.
May I continue to fall on my face with the angels and elders, laying my life in submission to His feet so that He may be so glorified in this life and the life to come, be it as a lab aide, a missionary, a student, a daughter, a sister, or whatever role I am given. Rev 5:8 says that the elders around the throne of God "hold golden bowls of incense, which are the prayers of the saints". May we lift up our sweet fragrant offerings to Him from our lips and hearts so that those bowls may overflow!
