God gave me a job :D

Friends,
I'm sorry that it has taken me a week to write another post. I am sure that you are all racked w/ anticipation about my new job and how things are going in my life.

My job is as an Admin. Assistant. Basically I do all the simplest tasks that are required for Ms. Gina and Allison's jobs. So that they can work on more important things. Such as; filing, making coffee, more filing, sorting and distributing the faxes, listening and taking down the messages, some more filing, keeping the break room clean, running errands, a ton more filing, picking up checks and data entry. So yeah, I like it so far. I have my own desk and computer. It is super, super, super low stress!! B/c the majority of the filing I do is just in-house stuff so there's no pressure to get it done super quick. Everyone is really nice too. God has really blessed me w/ this job and I'm so grateful. I has asked Ms. Gina on Sunday night if she couldn't get me a job at her work. She told me that Henry, the boss, owner, president, etc. doesn't like to higher family members so, No. I didn't think about it again. Monday morning after praying about a job; which over the previous 3 days I had given over all of my worry and concern to God. I got a phone call from Ms. Gina saying that she had gotten me a job and I could start on Tuesday. It's amazing, I don't know why I continue to but God in a box. He can do ANYTHING!! He is so much bigger then a part time job, a paycheck, $$ for school, whatever it is! I truly believe if we're not focusing on Him and allowing Him to provide for us He will put us in circumstances where we can do nothing less but turn to, and rely on Him! And once I did I got a better job then I ever could have on my own and I didn't even do anything to get it. No application, interview, nothing...

I have a picture of me on my first day it's on my phone but I don't know how to get it off. If anyone can do that I'd love to text it to you so I could have it on my computer. Lemme know...

a peek inside...

I'm nearly finished w/ McKayla's dress just the zipper and hem left, I'll send it to you Monday!

I didn't go to that singles group this week... I just didn't feel up to it, but I'll be going to the lifegroup on Tuesday.

A pray request I have is to find the right/a job. I know it is all in God's timing so I've giving it over to him to figure it out. I'm finished and have little energy left to "worry" about jobs. The Lord will provide for everything I need and right now I'm just going to hang on to that.

Right now I really need to focus on my relationship with Christ, out of that everything will fall into place.

Oh, I finally sent out my graduation announcements, here's the picture I used.

Little Friday

I still don't have a job. My step mom continues to tell me not to be anxious or worry which is true. It's just really hard!! I guess I just don't want to get into it...
Today finished up day 13 of TMD, I've done really well. Even though I cheated today, I ate an Odwalla bar and had a bit of cheese and sourcream; definitely less then a serving and by no means horrible. So I'm feeling good/ok about the cheat. Tomorrow is my last restricted day, I can't believe it's been two weeks.
My room is finally somewhat put together, I'm just working on keeping it that way. I've been working on a couple projects but my needle on my sewing machine got dull and I don't have any more. So I'll have to go get some tomorrow... McKayla, I've been working on your dress! :D
Oh so I've decided to donate plasma again b/c I need $$$$$$$$$$ I was going to go today but lets just say I had really bad cramps so, I'm going to go next week when I'm feeling better.

And I'll leave you with this, here in FL when you're trash gets broken into by "animals" this is what happens...

Putting Myself Out There

It's been awhile since I've written, lemme see if I can recap what's been going on. I spend a large amount of my days watching TV a little day time which sucks we all know that and a lot more prime time. I've been looking for a job like crazy and it's not going very well. Target said thanks but no thanks via a snail mail letter... Tomorrow my plan is to call all the places and inquire about my application(s). Also I need to make a phone call about getting Black Baby's brakes checked.

Last night I attended the Saturday night service of the church (Lifepoint Com. Church) I've started to attend. Afterward I went to the singles ministry? (the After Party) lol for 20s and 30s, I met a few people, they were nice... We went bowling last night it was pretty fun I bowled the 3 worst games that I've ever bowled in my life ever :(

Right now is the end of day 9 of TMD, It's gotten a lot easier but I'm still excited to eat different fruits and dairy. I haven't really cheated at all, some of the foods we have in the house are exactly what he calls for in the book but being that I don't have a job; I can't afford to buy all my own food and plus it's awkward.

Oh, I'd like to give a shout out to Lindsay, I like your blog :D

Just Another Day

Today, was the day I decided that I was going to begin a "routine". Last night I painstakingly mapped out every min of my day from 7:30am until 7ish pm... Let's just say I deviated quite a bit. I'm ok w/ that I'm going to try again tomorrow.

Positives for the day:

• Applied to a bunch of places; macaroni grill, pier 1, michael's, muvico (local movie theatre), tomorrow I'm going to hit up a few more spots

• Day 5 of TMD sucessful!! I need to work on eating more veggies

• I've come to have peace about the infamous bookshelf; it's not going anywhere so I've decided to decorated it w/ my things here's what it looks like! I thought I would share a little piece of my room.

Tomorrow is day 6 almost half way through phase one!! Woo Hoo, dairy and fruit here I come!!!

the very busiest day...

Yesterday was the probably the busiest day I've had since I've been in FL. Black Baby needed to be picked up from the car place and the only ride I had was leaving the house at 6:15 am. So, I was ready to leave then I had to wait outside for an hour before they opened. This was probably the highlight of my day. You, might ask why didn't I just wait until later but they open and close while both of my parents are at work so unless I wanted to pay for a taxi; there really was no other option. After I got home and got ready for the day. I applied for jobs at Target and Old Navy, picked up applications for Starbucks, Jo-Ann Fabric's and Micheals. Went to the post office, Verizon to get a new phone, got my ID card for the club house where I live and car decal to get into the gate. It was rather exhasting.

On more positive note I love my new phone, thanks mom for the early b-day present. Black Baby is looking much better as well they even buffed out her head lights. Day 3 of TMD is now over Day 4 has begun. It's pretty hard I'm not going to lie but I'm persevering, once I get through today I know I can make it... Seriously if I can drink the Master Cleanse lemonade for 10 day oh wait was it7, 8 or 10 well either way I think I can make it 10 days w/o dairy, starch and sugar. Today I'm off to return applications possibly pick up some more then visit my Aunt Jane who lives in New Port Richie she's been in the hospital recently. For those who've heard my speak about her she's the one that comes at Thanksgiving time... :D

It'll All Work Out

Today was a day. I got my GPS today, well I drove to pick it up at the warehouse... As far as "The Maker's Diet" (TMD) Day one is quickly coming to an end and shall be granted as a success!! I ate more vegetables today then I have in the whole last month. Sad but true... It was a bit harder then I though but this phase only has 13 more days :D then it's not as restrictive.

As far as jobs go I think I'll pick up applications tomorrow and hand them in Monday. Ideally I would like to work at Target but tonight I was in there and I overheard two employees talking and they said that they're cutting back everyones hours... so, I'm thinking that it might not work out there. As soon as I walked outside I noticed how beautiful the sky looked and it simply reminded me that God's in control, I'll get a job in his perfect timing at whatever place it is.
