First things first: The scripture verse I can't shake:

For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. ⁴ When Christ, who is your^[a]life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

¹² Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. ¹³ Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. ¹⁴ And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

¹⁵ Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

Colossians 3:3, 12-15

Our lives are hidden in Christ. These are our instructions on how to conduct ourselves.

This summer I started working full time at Mississippi College.

It was absolutely a God thing. I praise Him everyday for letting me have the coolest job on the planet.

This is a photo tour of my work life/space

I knew the day would come where I couldn't' wear v-neck t shirts and skinny jean/crazy skirts all day everyday anymore, I just didn't realize it would come so fast!

I've been trying to build up my professional wardrobe without losing my personal funky/comfortable/classy-indie style.

This particular day I was wearing one of my favorite dresses and had a messy bun. Its purple with dark purple flowers, has pockets, is made from that awesome stretchy material, and is from the Gap Outlet.

I paired it with a creamy white shrug I snagged from a Banana Republic Outlet. I wear that shrug far too much. Im not sure if shrugs are still cool, but its whatever. I'm also wearing my name tag and I got new bangs.

After I get dressed, I grab my work bag (the green one with pale green flowers) and head out the door.

I am fortunate enough to live only 2 blocks away from work.

Its about a 4 minute walk.

MC's campus is known for its beauty.

This is my desk.

This is my work ID. Its sitting in the little log Mr. Luke made for me.

2 monitors.

I do everything on Post-Its

Encouragement Post-Its. Always a favorite.

Recognize these?

I really love my desk.

If I didn't love it, I would be up the creek without a paddle because I spend A LOT of time sitting there.

I hope that was enjoyable.
