What is Going on in My Life??
So, it has been awhile since I have updated on my life happenings for this blog of mine. Lets just say I have been quite busy and there has been a lot going on.
For starters, I now work for an actual daycare, full time, instead of the part time job I had working for a before and after school program at one of the local public schools. I am absolutely LOVING my new job! There are a lot of really great people that I work with, the kids are great, and the job itself is busy, but fun, so the days go buy fairly quickly. There are some trying moments and rough days, but that happens no matter what kind of job you have, but despite the occasional rough day, I still love what I do and am very happy at my job and I feel like I am right where God wants me.
Where are things at with our house? Well, it is for sale and on the market. We have had a few people come and look at it, but have not had any offers yet. Really hoping and praying we sell it soon, because I really think we all(me, my Dad, and Brother) need to get out of this house and start fresh somewhere different. And if you did not already know, we are looking for a condo. We want to downsize since we don't really need all the space, and my Dad does not want to have to do yard work anymore, and also it will be cheaper and better for my Dad financially, too. We have not found a condo yet, but, again, I am hoping and praying we find the perfect place, in the price range we need, very soon. So, definitely lots of prayers needed for that.
And, is there anything else I have been up to? Well, I sing in my church's praise team! Which, I am absolutely loving and I have a lot of fun with it and the team, in general is just a great bunch of people. I also got roped into being on my church's education committee. Literally, I kind of got put on it, was not really asked to be on it, but got put on it. Right now I am going with the flow and giving it a whirl to see what happens with it, because, who knows, maybe God has a plan for me being on the education committee. I am also hoping to plan to continue on doing Kids Hope this year, but with a new student. But, that may or may not happen depending on if I get paired with a new student and depending on if I can make it workout with my schedule. I also keep getting asked to do other things involving our Children's Ministries at our church, but I am kind of praying and debating over that because I don't want to get involved in too much and get myself overwhelmed. So, not sure with all that, but will keep everyone posted.
Oh, and I am still working on getting my CDA(Child Development Associates). I am taking online classes. I am just about at the halfway point with the online class portion of it all. I have until next May to finish the classes, so I am not too concerned over it. But I am plugging right along and so far it has been pretty easy and not really stressful or anything. Since I can do it at my own pace and when I have time for it, it makes it much more easier to get through.
So, all in all, I am keeping busy and doing fairly well. Also, my weight loss journey is still going good and I am still losing! I am almost at my 1 year post op, which I will make a post of its own giving all the details about exactly where I am at with the weight loss and such. So you can stay tuned with that. As far as my faith journey, I am always working on that. And so far I feel I am staying true to God and doing pretty good at leaning on Him. I have also been reading through the Psalms and taking notes on the Psalms. I really want to get myself a new devotional book, though. And I still miss my Mom so much. Things are just not good with my Dad right now and I really wish my Mom were here. My Dad is just in such a depressed funk right now that it is making it hard for me to live with him and put up with him. There is even more to it, but I don't really want to talk about my Dad's issues on the internet since that is not my place. Just keep my Dad in your prayers, because I really do love him a lot, but right now, it feels like I have lost him, too. Right now I kind of feel like I don't have either of my parents, and its tough.
To sum it up, life is crazy, busy, stressful, and tough. But, it has been going pretty dang good. Just continuing to lean on God and trust Him and let Him guide me and get me through life, one day at a time. Thanks for reading!
