In All Your Ways Acknowledge Him

I can't believe January is almost over! The days have been flying by. Jason and I have been very busy at Jimmy John's lately. We sent 2 of our employees, Brent and Andrea, to manager training in Illinois. They have been gone for 2 weeks, so we have been working 7 days a week, sometimes 12-14 hours a day. Usually we have our nights off, but twice or three times a week we have to do doubles. It will be so nice when they get back...they will run the majority of the lunch shifts, and we will have regular work hours. I can't wait!!

We are looking forward to going home in a few weeks. My cousin Lexi is getting married and it is also my brother's basketball Senior night, so we are happy to get away from the store and spend a weekend with friends and family. I am really excited to spend time with Jason away from the store.

So there aren't too many updates to tell you about. I am really learning what it means to give my anxieties/worries to God and not take them back. This has forever been a struggle for me, and all I can say is that God is really showing me that He is in control, even of the little details in my life. For too long I have thought that He needed my help to work out the little things....WRONG! He doesn't need me to help, He just wants me to trust in Him. (Proverbs 3:5 has been my verse alot lately!) So that's what I am trying to do on a daily basis. Opening and running a restaurant has been really stressful for me, but as I look back on all that I've learned so far, I know it will be worth all the hard work in the future.
