Yeah… that’s a lot.

And believe it or not—that’s not even the full list.

Some were full-time. Some were side gigs. Some were 1099, some just seasonal.

But here’s the wild part:

If you had asked me—while I was working the Dairy Queen drive-thru—what I wanted to do with my life, there’s no way I would’ve told you this path.

One of my supervisors once told me:

“Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. Walk through the green lights. Trust God. Keep going.”

Not every job was amazing.

Not every role was fun.

But looking back—I can see God’s hand in all of it.

Every stop. Every lesson. Every detour.

It mattered.

Friend, maybe you’re in a weird spot right now.

Wondering what’s next.

Feeling stuck.

Feeling uncertain.

Here’s what I’d say:

Keep walking.

Keep trusting.

God’s not done with you.

If you need to talk about it, just DM me. I’d be glad to listen.
