I realize I've been away for awhile. Life has been crazy busy for the past month! I had family, friends, and boyfriend's family visit for their spring breaks so that kept me occupied for 2 weeks. During that time, I also received news that Universal wanted to hire me as a dancer/entertainer and better yet, they wanted to hire me as full time! This was such great news for me because I've been struggling financially for the past couple of months (thank God I have incredibly generous parents who willingly help me) and I needed to find another part time job at least. I was originally hired as part time but they called me and asked if I'd be interested in being full time instead. This would mean more money, health benefits, and a certain amount of guaranteed hours every week. Exactly what I had been praying for since February!
Ironically, when I began searching for jobs, I didn't originally plan on working in entertainment at Universal since I already do that at Disney. I've always had the mindset that I'm not meant to perform for a living, it's something I do while I'm young but let's face it, I need to get a REAL job one day soon right? Since hours were slow at my other job, I felt like that was a sign that I needed to switch departments and try something else. I've always been drawn to hospitality and that's also my spiritual gift so maybe I'm meant to do something in that field. I began searching for front desk jobs but it wasn't as easy as I thought it'd be. Most companies were hiring full time and the starting salary was going to be less than what I was already making. I was getting discouraged and felt like I was stuck. One day, my boyfriend and I were at Universal and he suggested that I should search for a job entertaining there. I said maybe but I want to see what else I'm good at. I went to the website and searched for all kinds of jobs but most of them were for cooking and sound technicians (and I suck at both lol). So on a whim, I searched under the entertainment tab and badda bing, there was an audition coming up in two days and there was just a few appointment slots left. I signed up and showed up at the audition. One month later, I was officially hired in Universal entertainment!
Clearly, God is showing me that I'm not done performing. It's what He wants me to do and He's providing me with some amazing opportunities to do what I love. Why go get a "real job" if I'm not going to enjoy it? My time is better spent acting, singing, dancing, etc in front of hundreds of people. When the Lord gives you a passion and a desire, go for it! And pray for me as I begin this exciting new chapter of my life :)
