"Plans to prosper you..."
What a God we serve. A little tale for your reading pleasure. So I have been working at a studio in Halifax called Copernicus and it's been going really well because I'm very speedy at a certain aspect of animation and they've been moving me around a lot to utilize me as best they can... anyways, those kinds of positions dried up for me and I was put in a position that takes a while to get into the groove of. I wasn't able to get up to speed and hadn't been making enough money to survive.
About the time I had been rolling thoughts around my head, another studio in Halifax called Collideascope emailed me about a position. I was going away on a retreat with my youth group and I had made a commitment to pray about what I should do about this decision. I had a meeting with my boss the following week and pretty much resigned because of the lack of payment with hope and expectation to be able to jump into the other position. Turns out my current boss had arranged the other studio to give me a job and had massaged the whole thing the whole time! I was so worried about it and felt like I was playing both studios but turns out the studio I was leaving totally took care of me! And it was funny because I was fretting about it earlier that morning and the guy I sit next to, who knows I'm a Christian tried to calm me and eventually just said I need to have faith and pointed to where I usually keep my bible on my desk... what a testament!!
So now I'm sitting in my new desk at my new job and it's awesome! Except there's a life-sized cardboard cutout of Chewbacca staring at me and keeps catching me out of the corner of my eye... creepin' me out.... Anyways, moral of the story is, God takes SUCH good care of us. We whine and complain because we don't get what we think we need but when it really counts he takes care of us in every aspect of what we really NEED! "...plans for a hope and a future!"
Hopefully that'll brighten a day or two! I'll post some pictures of my work, it's really neat looking in here... I just need to bring a camera to work... more to follow!
love Mark
