Chicken and God


I'm not a huge fan of fast food. Let's face it most of it is just crap. A few years ago I watched the infamous "Supersize me" and well it's had a lasting effect on me ever since. There is one thing I will ALWAYS stop for. Chicken. Not just any chicken though, Chick-fil-A chicken. Or as my good friend Kim and I kindly refer to it as simply "chicken". We eat it at least 2x a week, sometimes 2x a day if I'm lucky. I may be a little bias as I did work there and enjoyed every minute of it. Besides eating a lot, and I mean A LOT of good chicken, I learned so much in my short time with the company but mostly grace. God showed His mercy and grace in abundance. I firmly believe that God was preparing me for my current journey through my job at the good ol' CFA. Somehow I even managed to find a way to merge both chicken and my new job into an event once a month. I met some fun friends and slowly God shaped me into the person I am today. I was so broken when I came to work there I really had no where to go but up. God brought an amazing family to model true love, compassion, humor and to slowly help build my confidence and character. I got to travel and work hard and share God with so many. There were many angels there and I am so grateful for each one. What better place could one work than where the corporate mission statement is "To glorify God by being good stewards of all that has been entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A". Maybe that should be our own personal mission statements.

There's a 1st time for everything

Hello World!
This blog comes life because of my ill attempt to load pictures and write what I wanted to about them. I've done the myspace thing and various other online "communication" tools and well now I'm apparently a "blogger" (at least for now). I'm not huge on following my blogging friends but I do enjoy catching up with them via the internet at the wee hours of the night or morning. I asked a friend what is the first thing that comes to mind when she thinks of me and she said "friend", hence the my title. Whether I've known you for 2 days or 2 years your are known to me as friend, probably because I can't remember your name. So for you my friends here's a little about me...
I am:
in my late 20's (omg)
a SoCal lifer, so far
married to the love of my life
working in a divinely ordained career that challenges me and grows me everyday
not a mother yet
a true introvert, despite what you might think
and eager to get to know you
