So.. here's what's been going on with me as of late:
I have an incredible job doing what I am passionate about. Not only do I work at a day care (I LOVE little kids - they stir the deepest emotions of my heart), but I work in the infant room, every day. I get to hold the babies, and cuddle with them, rock them, feed them, and just sing to them every day! I could not have asked for a better job, and I mean that with all of my heart.
I am still in school - I have three more years to go, assuming that I graduate on time and all that good stuff. As much as I really despise, hate even, going to school, I do realize that the Lord has blessed me immensely. He has provided a way for me to go to school without paying a single thing; I even get six hundred or more dollars back every quarter. I don't say this to brag, that's not my intention at all. Sometimes I just have to remind myself that I do have it pretty good here, and that a lot of people don't have this kind of an opportunity placed so freely in front of them. So for thank, I must thank the Lord immensely.
I'm also still living at home. I'm so not excited about that part, but the good news is that because of it, I was recently able to purchase a brand new 2012 car! Woohoo! His name is Benjamyn if you ever feel like saying hello ;).
Those are all of the fun things that have been going on. Here's a few things on my prayer list, if you're interested:
- I'm currently searching for a new church to attend. I just feel like my old one has grown stagnant, and I am craving the life and community that we had at Walkabout. I know I probably won't find anything exactly like that, but I know that there is more out there than I am seeing right now.
- I am also putting feelers out there, seeking the possibility of transferring to a new school, preferably one a little farther Northeast.. which brings me to my next point.
- Having a long-distance relationship is hard. Really hard. This is probably the biggest prayer I'm praying right now. I'm seeking new opportunities to spend time with Kyler, to be closer to him.
- Finally, I'm praying for real friendship here. I have one friend here. That's it. One friend who knows me, who cares how I'm doing, who loves me unconditionally. And I do the same for her. But again, I am craving that community. I want real relationships with people who love the Lord.
That's all for now. Hopefully I'll write again soon with a better blog!
