Kohls keys to success

1.Walk around really fast so.it looks like you are always busy doing something really important.

2. Always "smile and say hi" to every customer, (when a manager is creeping in juniors pretending not to spy on you)

3. If a customer asks you to look in back stock for an item, make sure you spend enough time back there before coming out so it looks like you really tried to find it.

4. When recovering a department, only fold the top three items the right way to save time.

5. When you have a four hour shift, go ahead and take a twenty five minute break, noone times your breaks anyway...

You should choose your words as carefully as you choose your friends.

Rant

The older I get the more and more I realize that protecting someone doesn't mean keeping them in the dark. I wish I had discovered that earlier then maybe my relationships wouldn't be so scattered. 

More car trouble

I drove to work yesterday noticed my engine light was on, (actually its been on for a week now..)
When I stopped at a red light a mike away from kohls I saw a cloud of white smoke coming from my hood, I panic and attempt to pull over and I almost hit a white suv coming up on my right. I slow down and feel my car trying to shut off, so I hit the gas and continued on to work. At work
Alot of people said it was probably just overheated and needed coolant/water. Well I tried that... On my ride home the needle went back to chitty within ten minutes of going just above 40. I pulled over and realized how bad I had to pee, so as I'm waiting fire my car to cool off I find a water bottle and attempt to pee into it sitting down... Fail.. I got pee on my pants on my seat and on my hands, I managed to get most of it on the bottle but it was too funny not to mention. I prayed for God to help me get my clunker home without it shutting off on me. Thank God above, I'm home and I just called AAA to have it towed to my shop in hoover. Lol my mom told me I'm really fortunate that all the repairs mt car had needed were minor ones, I don't call spending over $1800 on a car minor... But she is helping me pay for alot of the repairs thank God

Thanking God for my family today. They are nosey and irratating, but they love me past all of my faults.

Shelby crossings

The sermon last week was concerning pride, pride being the sin that leads to all others. He took a piece from the book of daniel to show us how prideful king nebecanezzar was, and how God took away his power and sanity, it took neb seven years in the wilderness to realize that God is sovereign deserves our worship. The story reminded me of the times when I think I know best, or that I'm special and deserve praise. Preacher ken gave the analogy. "a dog gets patted, rubbed and shown affection and thinks 'wow, he must be a God' and loves his owner. A cat gets that same treatment and thinks 'wow, I must be a God'." His point was clear to me, we need to be grateful for the things we receive snd give thanks, not get full of pride and begin to think we deserve good things to happen to us.

Making friends

When I first came to alabama, I didn't know anyone but family andb that was okay since my uncle was here and we stayed busy all the time with the house. Then I started working and mostly stayed to myself, I wanted to make friends that were involved in their churches and had a strong relationship with God. While my feelings about the kinds of friends I want in my life has changed drastically its for the better. I've never worked with so many openly christian people in my life. When o started at kohls there were many people young and old who were interested in what church I belonged to and wanted to help me find one.from meredith who introduced me to christian music that doesn't put me to sleep, to emily who took me to my first christian night club. I used to think following God meant that I had to give up everything I loved, partying, dancing drinking. And now I know that it just isn't true, drinking in excess is the sin, not drinking itself. Ive learned about alot of events and concerts that are 100% dedicated to worship, I'm having more and more fun but most importantly putting God first in everything I do.
