God is Good

Guilty. That's what I feel. Why? Because for Christmas, I got about $200 in Best Buy giftcards and I spent them on myself. Every year for holidays, I usually get quite a few of them, but I usually turn right around and spend them on other people. Brian told me this year was to be different... I did spend it on myself like a week ago, and still feel guilty!! Haha... I'm a weirdo!

I interviewed at another National City today. It's so funny that I have to interview for my own job, especially since it isn't my fault that my branch is closing. When we found out it was closing, we were all promised out jobs when we closed. Well... there are a few of us from my branch trying to get this ONE spot... the manager at the new branch said that quite a few branches would be cutting back on staff... That raises a question... "What happens to those of us who won't get the position at this ONE branch??" I don't know. The manager asked about the other girl who is in line for the position. I was honest with her. V is an amazing person to work with and I spoke highly of her. Some of you may be thinking, Why on Earth would she praise her competition?? Well... because #1, she is my friend. #2, I can't say anything bad about her... she is SO flipping funny! #3, this year, I'm not going to bash anyone... well... wait... I'll try not to bash anyone. So far, I've done pretty good!

Brian is supposed to find out his test results from Grand Rapids today. I'm excited, because I feel so peaceful about going that way. It would be hard to be even further away from family and friends, but God is good. He is faithful and doesn't give us anything we can't handle.

My stress level has been through the roof again. I am not quite sure why. I start classes again. One of my profs sent us an email telling us this is going to be the hardest class we take at Liberty (which is funny, because most of my teachers have always said that about their own classes). Anyways, she sent the email stating we needed to log into blackboard to get our first assignments... and blackboard is down for a few more days yet. That sucks! I will have a few late nights trying to get ready for the first assignment... we have to write a HUGE BIG NASTY term paper...

Let it be known: I HATE TERM PAPERS!


I have really been missing relationships lately. I desire to show more of my heart (Godly) to people and still have a shield around it. I want people to see what God has done in me and work through me. My bible is going to be my new best friend this year. I want to learn more and more about Him and use my new learnings in every day life!

One last thing... for those of you who are of the praying kind. My co-worker has been stressed out a little bit lately. Her ex-boyfriend had a stroke a few days ago. I think he is close to 24 years of age. His family lives in Detroit (about 30 mins from here) and they won't come see him or spend time with him. It's all on my friends shoulders to take care of him and make sure he is still doing ok. He did get released today on lots of medication and his family still wont come to see him... because it's "too far away." Please pray for him and for my coworker.

Thanks and have a great day!
