Wednesday night I went grocery shopping. I tried to get only the things I needed because it would have been a huge pain carrying all of those bags while using public transportation, but knowing my greedy self, I picked up more than I needed. On my way out of the store, a lady says, "Oh my God, I love those boots! they look so comfortable." I smiled and said "They are, depending on where you're going." From there, we briefly chatted. We said our goodbyes and she left the store. While I was grabbing my bags out of the cart, she walks back into the store and stops in front of me. She said something to this affect, "I don't know why I'm doing this, but God has put it in my heart to offer you a ride home if you need it." I decline her offer. And she continues to say, "You know, there's something about you that's really humble and sweet and i feel like you are a blessing." She then asked if I worked in the area, I then told her I was a student at AIA. She says, " Oh goodness! i have a really good friend who works in the fashion department there. And also, if you're interested, my best friend just opened an alteration shop down the street and she's looking for new hires." Before finishing she goes, " wait, you are a Fashion major, right?" When I told her yes, she couldn't believe it. She gave me the contact information to the store and her name as well. Hopefully, once i go in there and see if that's the kind of job for me, I'll get it. But I'm just thankful for the people God has allowed me to encounter in these past couple of weeks. From a celebrity stylists to just kind hearted people on the street, I greatly appreciate it and am truly blessed.
P.S my little sister called to day and told me she aspired to be like me when she grows up! So sweet!
