The Cause.

Oh decisions, decisions, decisions… think. think. think. Sheesh. So, once again I was at a crossroads. I took the job Convergys offered me simply because it was convenient. Thennnn I got a job offer at The Red Cross. I took it and ran. Well… I first looked at it, tilted my head, then grabbed it and turned around. I had no clue if it was a good choice or a bad choice.

Side Note: Sometimes there is no “Good” or “Bad” choice. Every day, God throws choices your way that simply take you in a different direction. Remember, no matter what you choose, God’s still going to be there with you, waiting for you to see that He’ll never leave.

It’s farther away—but then again I’ll be moving in a few months. Also, they’re hiring 150 new people, so they practically promised me a leadership position when I inquired of the possibility. I would LOVEEE a leadership position. I haven’t had one since I lived in Naperville. When I moved here I traded status for pay. And then there’s the cause! I feel like working with The Red Cross is much more beneficial than troubleshooting cable… just saying. I know there has to be someone to troubleshoot the cable—I just don’t believe it’s me. And I can’t prove my leadership skills if I’m at home at my desk working. Working for a cause, even though the payment is much less, makes me feel worthwhile. I’ve been there for a month now, and I LOVE ITTTTT! No leadership position yet, but I sure as heck have been impressing the bosses   

This is the main reason that I haven’t blogged in so long. However, I have a rockin’ schedule now, so I’ll be here more often attempting to entertain ya’ll.

 

Peace, Love, and Chinese Food.

Today was painful.

I don’t know what will happen in my life tomorrow, but I know that God still reigns. He loves me, and I will praise Him in this storm. Sometimes it’s hard to dance in the rain when there’s lightening around, lol

I know I’ll be okay, it’s just a matter of when.

Oohhh to wait or not to wait…

I have had no patience lately, sad to say…

I’m ashamed that I’ve been so easily irritated—and with such silly things at that! I used to let everything slide, and even encourage others to let their irritations go as well. Now I seem to grumble a lot more about things I’ve never been upset with before. Like a pillow. A PILLOW. It was lumpy, hahaha! I have made the decision to suck it up and just have a good attitude. No excuses. This’ll be difficult with Jeff, hahahahaha. Relatively doable with everything else. Why not enjoy life while I’ve got it?? Jesus gave it all so that I could.

 

What (or WHO) pushes your buttons? What can you do to mellow out? Breathe—Smile.

 

 

Iloveyou.

Little Tidbits: So today was eventful.

I had plenty of stuff going on. Mini road trip with the boy. in the Jeep. with the top down. and Charlie in the back :D good times. Then adding finishing touches to my [dorm-ish-looking] room with my new roomie. I love how big my room really is! Made lunch with the roomie—yummmmmmmy. ‘Nuff said.Then got my very own WIFI—it’s swell to be sure. Everything was Grand today, and several times I found myself forgetting to thank Jesus for letting life be so Grand… Sometimes when stuff is happening, whether good or bad, it’s easy to forget about the One who is with you the whole time and His promise to get you through life His way. Remember Jesus and what He did for you, then thank Him for it! He’s given us so much, everything in us and around us is His.

This reminded me of the chorus of the old hymn “Jesus Paid it All” by Elvina Hall:

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

 

On another note, I start my new job tomorrow! Can I get a WOOT WOOT?!?! I’m a bit nervous, I won’t lie… but I know everything is gonna work out and it’ll certainly help out my income quite a bit! ^_^ That is the cutest turtle btw. Anyways the drive across town should be interesting—I’m gonna have to leave early to make sure I can find the place. It is well known that I’m directionally challenged in every way possible. And that’s putting it politely! Ugh, the only city I don’t get lost in is Chicago… Tucson is definitely the opposite of Chi-town. Barely any TRAFFIC though :D It’s a good thing I won’t have to drive there everyday— working from home definitely has it’s advantages! See, God knew my truck is a well-loved machine, but a gas-guzzling one nonetheless. And then I don’t have to worry about getting lost more than once… yes, I’m serious, sadly.

 

Well, I think I’m going to call it a night—gonna get up early so I can be all perdy for my orientation. Gracias for listening to me ramble on. Have a glorious night, and don’t forget to thank Jesus

 

Loveeeee you <3

So I’m heading off to work on May 11th—next Wednesday

Yayyy me. I will be able to work from home. Praise God! That will save me who knows how much in gas money, and I will have NO excuses to eat out. None. At all. Thennnnn I begin my classes at Liberty University on June 27th. Aye aye aye, won’t I be a busy!?! Haha

Jeff (the man) is home, hopefully for good. It’s nice to have him around again, I don’t think he has any idea how much I missed him. Well, he might—I just about knocked him on his tush when I first saw him

 

Enjoy every moment you have with someone. They say you never know what you have until it’s gone… I know that to be true. I’ve lost people close to me and I miss them. But those people who are in my life, please know that I love you all very very much. I may not say it enough, and that’s something I need to work on. I have been focused on me, God, and God and I. I forget that even though He will take care of me, I have other people in my life He has blessed me with to get me throughHe is so good. He gave me YOU all!

 

Peace. Joy. LOVEEEEE
