My life in the times of February

Greetings! It's been almost a month since I wrote a blog that actually updated my life rather than providing mouth water recipes or videos. I have got to hang out with Kim a lot. We were good friends in high school and now she is living in Stettler doing her teaching practicum at the Erskine School. Church has also been really great. I miss a college and career group like Adore but going to church every Sunday is definitely a highlight of the week.

I went to Missionsfest last weekend and it was so awesome!! I went to a couple seminars on prayer, a mission called Lifeline Malawi and one on Muslim evangelism. The assemblies were great and all the speakers really hit home. They had a huge hall filled with exhibits of different missions groups, bible colleges and other Christian organizations. It was great to get information for all sorts of things. I went out for supper with my aunt, uncle and cousins. It was so great to see them again!

The past little while I have been doing nothing other than reading, sleeping, eating, working out, working and the most time consuming thing of all . . . phoning places and internet browsing information about getting a US working visa. I have an interview and swim test at Six Flags in New Jersey in a couple weeks. They seem very interested in having me work there but I am struggling to figure out the visa situation. After many phone calls to Texas, New Jersey, Washington, etc (that will be one expensive phone bill) I have come up with some helpful information. I need to do a bit more research on Monday, get the time booked off of work, and then book the flight. I am super excited. This past week while swimming I was really scared that I would fail the swim test as you have to swim 80 feet or 1 length of the pool underwater. I practiced that night and yesterday and was able to do it 3 times (not in a row of course). So I am confident that I will do well.

I would love prayer for doors to open for me to get a Visa, for everything to work out and for me to have patience to wait. I am praying that if all the doors open and God leads me this way, that I will do it. If doors close and the opportunities fail, I have a couple other plans for the summer and the future which I am not going to disclose now because who knows what will happen. Each day the plan changes and I become interested in something else.

I love the sun here in Alberta. I don't miss all the overcast days and fear of rain in BC. I do miss the ocean and the mountains and all the greenery though. I am going to visit on Easter weekend. Serena and Leia are both excited for that. Me too. I don't have to work then.

I am not going to complain about Tim Horton's on here again. It's a paycheque. That's all I am going to say. Things need to change in the near future because I would rather be living somewhere else and doing a job that I love. We'll see. All in God's timing. He makes all things beautiful in His time.

Well, I am off to church again without my family as my parents are both having separate holidays in Florida and I don't know what Brianne is doing. Pray for her too please. Gotta work tonight but I get Tuesday off and I can't wait! Oh and if you want to see a good movie, sure it's a chick flick but it's pretty funny, go see "New in Town" with Harry Connick Jr. and Renee Zellwegger. I really liked it. I went to see that on Friday when I went to Red Deer. The main purpose of the trip though was to spend an hour at Parables, use my birthday gift certificate, and then go to Costco for their hotdog and fries. It was so satisfying.

I hope that was a good enough update for you. I like blogging random things and then the occasional update for you so expect a whole bunch of crazy blogs. Later days!!!
