Coffee has been my life for the past couple weeks. I open the store at 430 am which means getting up at 345 am and then every day I have had so many things to do and people to hang out with. On top of that, on the weekend I had my personal training courses so I barely ever got any sleep. This week however I took a different route and decided not to sleep after work. That backfired because even though I was super tired at 930 to go to bed, I had had too much coffee all day so I haven't slept well. For example on Thursday I had 5 cups of coffee and yesterday I had 4. It's way too much. That is why today I got out of bed at 10:30am!!!!! I have the weekend off and am not doing a whole lot of anything. Do the dishes, get some groceries, maybe go for a walk, clean my place up a bit and watch some tv to just chill. I am stoked.
This week has been really good aside from certain days at work that involved my manager and assistant manager. Next Friday is my manager's assimilation though and we might have it in for her. She just has no respect for us and there is no support for us as partners. We are the floor, we are the customer service. Not her. She should be doing things to help us out and the company at the same time. Not just "do as she is told so that she looks good." That's what she is all about. Whatever she doesn't really deserve to have a whole topic told around her on here. But yesteday was a good day at work because no managers were there, I was working with friends and fun people, and things just went smoothly.
This week I also made an awesome gingerbread house and watched the Grinch with my friend Jackie. I had a personal training session, went to a spin class with Leia, did most of my Christmas shopping, went to Aduro and had some good chats with people, and yesterday coached 2 basketball practices and played a whole game. Man, I am sore today. I loved it though. It was so much fun and really great to play again after so long not playing. I used to hate pick up ball too though, but now I really like it a lot. Can't wait til next time.
So this seems like it's sort of my "to do" or "doing" list for last week and this next week but it's fun to write like that sometimes. This next week is awesome! Monday I have to drive downtown to drop off my fitness package off at Infofit because I am taking my weight training practical exam on the 21st. Please pray for courage and boldness as I do this exam and teach my instructor how to use the equipment. I am excited to have this phase done and move on to personal training! Tuesday I may be going to Tangled again with my friends Diana and Morgan. Wednesday is my Aduro Christmas party, Thursday I have off and am baking all day with my friend Lisa. Friday is my Starbucks Christmas party. Saturday I have to open but have no other plans than that. I am sure that something will come up though. So yeah, I am super busy until Christmas holidays when I get to go home!!!
Lately spiritually I have been so faithless, yet God has been proving himself so faithful. He is giving me peace about where I am right now and what I am moving towards. He has moved my focus to building relationships and hanging out with people rather than being by myself so much. I have not been reading my Bible or praying much because of being so tired at night. This is the worst excuse ever and NEEDS to change. Despite my lack of effort I just know that He will forgive me and that He is really just saying "Candice, I am here for you. You may not want to talk but I am working in your life. I have things going for you that you aren't expecting and aren't planning for. I want to be in control of your life because I have the best ideas for what I want for you. You are someone I want to use for my glory and you just have to trust me." He is making this truth more and more real in my life everyday. And it's so true for everyone.
On that note, may God richly bless you this week as you seek His face in anything that you do. Later days!
