For the past couple of months and now soon to be five since coming home from New York God has open my eyes. To be honest with you I wouldn't have placed myself as a waitress but its actually been a good thing! When I looked at downtown Corbin I was focused on the size. However, there is much more in downtown Corbin! There are big hearts! I work with a sweet christian family who truly care about people. Its funny how God uses a local place to catch your attention!
I don't know where God is taken me however, I know I have seen community in a different perspective. I have never seen this family turn any one away! The Dixie holds a deeper for meaning for some because they have been around it from the time it begun. For more information you can follow this article by clicking this link: Dixie Cafe
I really encourage you to take a read especially if your a local. I know for me it was good because sometimes like many its easy to see Corbin as a bubble. I have lived in Corbin since 5th grade but knowing my town is a whole other ball game. I hate to admit it but I prob know more about other communities then mine. I am challenged to study Corbin more!
Today really reminded me of that as I explored a little bit while waiting for transportation. Even just stopping in the coffee shop to paint at You & Me or when I had lunch at Hardees. I may not know the path yet God is yet to take me but I have a choice to be present! At the same time I really want to go back to the Dixie asking you all to pray for this restaurant! I've not been to too many places that I can count that will offer whatever they have. This family really honors their community. They have feed locals who may not have much or feed biscuits to our city workers who work really hard to keep the roads clear when it snows! These local places not just small businesses! Maybe your like me and you need God to show you fresh eyes.
I love the people I know here but I must be real its hard to not want to turn the page to what God will do next! However, as best I know how I want to make the most! I am convicted on how easy it is to travel knowing the community that is not our own verses the one that is. What about you? Do you know your home?
