I apologize for not updating my blog sooner. I didn't feel like I have much to share but I know a lot of you have asked how things are going, and I suppose there's always something to share.
As some of you know, I have a "job" which is a great praise and a foot in the door. I'm a freelance associate producer for News 12 Connecticut. The job title sounds great, right? Actually, the job is pretty cool...but my schedule is uncertain. Since I am a freelance worker I am not permanent and I am not full time. I get called in to cover other people's shifts when they are sick or on vacation. It could turn into a permanent position but only time will tell. What I do when I'm there is write the news stories for the newscasts based on information from the Associated Press or information gathered on the scene. Then, if needed, I edit in natural sound, an interview, or video that will support the story. There are usually about 3 or 4 Associate Producers working during a shift. The shifts are really weird but that's the business of news broadcasting. I have been working 2-11pm but next week I get to work 3:30am-noon! And the week after that I get to work 1am-9am! So, I have a lot of prayer requests for you.
1) Pray that God would provide enough work days for me to be able to make ends meet, or that another, more stable job would be available for me.
2) Pray that I could be a light in the midst of a very worldly business. I am surrounded by a lot of bad language while I'm there and I want to show Christ's love to my co-workers.
3) My housing situation is really lacking in quality. I feel as though I've received confirmation from the Lord that I really need to get into a different apartment because I just found out that rent is increasing as of December 1 by quite a bit! Pray that the right place would open up for me quickly.
4) I still deeply desire to do voice over work but so far no doors have opened in that area. Pray that the right person would hear my demo and want my voice. Voice over work would be another way to make ends meet.
5) Overall, pray that I would have an attentive heart to the Lord's voice and that I would follow where ever He leads me.
I'd love to hear from you any prayer requests that you have.

sweetie...I will definantely be praying for you. I know how bad you want to do voice over work, but sometimes God has a different path for us to follow. I will pray that you will listen to his calling and that you will follow gladly wherever he leads. Sometimes our hearts desires or not his desires for us. I know! I am glad that you are still enjoying yourself and I wish I was there with you. God will provide housing and money. Keep being the person you are and your co-workers will see how God is working in your life. We are all doing fine....Kyle is getting ready for his last Homecoming dance this week-end. He is busy applying to colleges. He hopes to get into Azusa Pacific. I will keep you posted. My love and prayers are always with you.
WOW, Shavonne! Though the hours sound challenging, your job sounds like a good place to start. Way to go! I was so encouraged by your blog and will be praying that the Lord will bless your endeavors and provide for you in special ways. He is with you! And I will call you back -- I'm still getting settled in my new home. Love you!
Shavonne,
I give you lots of credit for being willing to start small and stick to it until you succeed in your goals. I will keep you in my prayers as always. I am glad you are doing some writing, I think your writing skills are awesome. When I read your updates, I can readily visualize what you are describing or talking about. You go girl! Blessings, Jann
