Floundering fish in the sea of life

Surprise! I am blogging more than once a month this time. I am ceasing from using the fact that Leia doesn’t have internet, as an excuse to not blog, email, and do other computer things. I need to change my attitude. Period. All I have been doing since I got back here is complain about one thing or another instead of being joyful for the situation that I am in. I am not completely content with where I am in life, however today at church I was reminded of the Solid Ground that is the foundation for my life. This morning before church I was really depressed and just fed up with my job searching, loneliness, house searching, and other things that just aren’t that great. I tried out Peace Portal Alliance Church in South Surrey today (probably where I will go if I end up in White Rock) and it was good.

It’s amazing how God has been reaching out to me, for me to just hold onto His hand and let me guide Him. I think that I have been caught up with the idea that He is just going to visibly or audibly tell me exactly what I am supposed to do and where I am supposed to live. Instead He just wants me to step out in faith, make a decision and stick with it. I believe that I have a good head on my shoulders and think things through quite thoroughly that a decision that I make will have God’s full intentions and word at the heart. I know that when I am finally living somewhere, working a full time job, and connected to a church I will be able to praise God with my whole life.

Recap:
-The cupcake server job didn’t work out in White Rock and no one else has called back.
- I still have a couple places I could live in White Rock and will chose one of them if the job interview on Monday at a fitness centre doesn’t pan out.
-hopefully some other jobs call back, because I sure did apply to a lot

There you have it. A much more indepth look into my life than I expected to write on here today. However I hope that this enlightenment will bring you to your knees in prayer for me. I have felt the prayers of many of you and have felt God tugging at my heart in little ways. Thank you for those prayers and for continuing to support me in faith.

Later days!!

Going on 3 hours

Greetings!

Yes I have been sitting in Starbucks for almost 3 hours looking up more jobs in the Vancouver area. I am really frustrated right now with the lack of response from places even though they are hiring. I know that I am not exactly qualified for any of these positions that I really want but getting any job and a place to live and then being able to finance the extra education for that is what I need to do. It's getting to that point that has been the problem. I did not get the Steve Nash job unfortunately and the cupcake place in White Rock didn't pan out either. I feel much life a fish out of water, floundering for a purpose and direction in life.

On another note, the time with my parents over Thanksgiving was really good. It was relaxing and fun. We went to Whistler, Science World, White Rock numerous times, ate at some really great places, went to our cousin's house for Thanksgiving and then to the states the next day for some shopping. I got some new running shoes which are amazing and feel like I am running on clouds. I love them. Yay Adidas outlet store!

I haven't spent that much time with Leia but I love hanging out with her. It's fun to be near her here and be able to do wedding stuff and whatever else we like to do. I just wish a good movie was coming out soon because we really want to go but there is nothing really decent to see. And lately I have this craving to watch Supersize Me. I don't even really know what it's all about I just had this random idea. How can you tell I am bored out of my mind?

I am actually starting to miss swimming a bit and might get back into that soon. Well I don't have a whole lot to say. Sorry about the briefness. Hopefully I can update a little more frequently. Oh and if Dallas loses another game on account of Tony Roma I WILL stop cheering for them. And I am serious.

Later days!!!

I am thankful

Greetings!

It's been awhile again since I blogged on this thing. I haven't been that busy because I am still not working, but I always forget to write on this. I have been applying a lot of places, mostly fitness centres and now a bunch of restaurants. I am kind of surprised that places that are hiring haven't gotten back to me yet after I sent them my resume. I had an interview at the Steve Nash Sports Club in Richmond and really want that job, but I haven't heard anything. Please pray for patience for me. I need to just wait to see what God has in store for me and where He is leading me. I know that I need to be proactive and not just wait for Him to move. I have been taking opportunities to get to hang out with Leia, to apply to lots of places, master my resume, practice interview skills, and work out a lot in the great outdoors of Vancouver.

I love it out here and now consider it home. Today there was the most gorgeous sunset and moon rising ever. I was just so amazed at how God cares about amazing us in those little subtle ways in nature. It was awesome. Please also pray that I will be able to find commitment in something soon as I would love to get involved with a steady church, to get a gym membership, and to make some friends in a job and have my own place!!! I really can't wait for that! However in this time like I said before I have learned lots and been living it to the fullest. It's hard to not get down, but things could be worst.

I have a couple of ideas floating around as what to do next if I don't get a job soon. Going to either personal training classes to get certified or to culinary school are two options. Having to have a job/career now that school is done is scary and very weird. Well enough about my future and present job search.

I got to spend the weekend in Abbotsford, first going to the Qwanoes road tour on Friday night and saw so many staff friends and 3 of my campers. It was a good time. Then on Saturday I went to CBC to the alumni games (didn't play) but got to see all my teammates again. I got to hang out with Melissa and Cat a lot and then after the guys game I got to see Lonnie and hang out at her apartment. I miss her so much!

The wedding plans are coming together after an excursion into Vancouver to see the Bridal Expo. Today we worked hard on the invitations and got a lot accomplished. Well I hope you enjoyed this post although it wasn't too interesting. Oh and by the way, I still love my Dallas Cowboys minus the reason they always lose - TONY ROMO. I hope they can pick it up and make some changes in the quarterback position.
Later days!
