So I was flying home from LA sunday night and my flight landed at JFK around 12:45a.m. I was thinking the whole plane ride...do i take the train or do i spend the $50 on a cab? Oh the things i could buy with $50...clothes, my groceries for the week, Starbucks galore... Anything seemed better than spending it on a cab! But, it was just SO late and i wanted to just be back in my appt...so I walked into the Cab line.
As I was standing there I remember my dad's voice when I first moved to NYC say " whenever you need a cab just find someone to split it with. Then it's not expensive". Just then I felt like the Holyspirit was telling me to ask the young woman standing in front of me. "But God... thats SO awkward?!?!?...Ok I'll do it". C'mon Jillene, Just put on a smile and talk!
" Hey there, um... are you taking a cab to Manhattan "?I said
" A...yeah actually I am..."
" Oh sweet! what part?"I questioned...
"Greenwhich village..."
" NO way I live in Greenwhich village!! Do you wanna share a cab?"
" Yeah that sounds great"
"So what streets in greenwhich village do you gte off at?"
" Bleecker and Macdougal"
" I LIVE ON BLEECKER AND MACDOUGAL!!!!!!!!!!!!"
How crazy is that? The girl in front of me in line living ACROSS the street from me!We ended up sharing a cab and chatting the whole way. She was super involved in the distribution of films to different portals like iTunes and Hulu. All her experience was so valuable and she gave me so many ways to find a great internship. There is truley power in going outside your comfort zone.
GOd thank you for that amazing talk I got to have as well as half of the cab ride paid for...You are just so full of blessings....
In hopes of building your faith,
J.
