Life

Life doesn't seem to get any easier...as you get older it just gets more complex...too much going on.

Well I've decided to go with the job at the Zoo working in the retail department. I know that I will have fun. I love the zoo and animals so maybe being around toys and stuff animals won't be bad. It may just be a little tiring. It's a decent commute to the zoo. I don't like driving much...I drive cause I have to.

I still work at the music store as a piano teacher once a week. I started teaching two new students today. It was good. So right now I'm teaching 4. It's a lot when I'm not use to it. I like it a lot though. It's definitely fun.

I'm thinking about my wedding a lot. I've started to get more stuff figured out and so it's all I'm thinking about...kind of making myself overwhelmed. It's 6 months away, or just about. I want it to be here faster. Mainly missing Josh a lot. I'm wishing he was home already. Hopefully time will start to fly by once I'm working more. It doesn't help that our 1 year anniversary for being together is coming up and we're miles apart. I miss him...especially being able to talk to him everyday...not easy to do when were in different countries. The wedding will come and it will be awesome!

Can't wait to be in NYC in like 18 days...so ready for an awesome time with my best friend. We are gonna have a blast. I miss her. Now I've been to NYC 2 times before this one but this time is going to be so different and better. I can do what I want on this trip. The last time I was there was a high school choir trip and I didn't really enjoy all of it. It was fun but stressful at the same time cause of the schedule we had to follow. So ready to just explore the city with my best friend. :-)

Opportunities and changing

So since choosing to move on, I've been actively searching for a new job...applying, getting interviewed, getting rejected...etc the whole deal.

Now I have an opportunity to work in a Christian environment, turning in application Friday. I also have the opportunity to work at the zoo, in the gift shop...we'll see how the job fair goes tonight. I have an interview with Macy's again, I apply at the store several times. I like working for them. I just don't always get too. The interview is on Monday, we'll see how it goes. I also applied several other places but haven't heard anything back. I'm going to do follow up with one place soon.
Ideally I'd like to work in retail again especially at a department store cause I can just transfer stores when I move hopefully. I don't care about the pay anymore I just need a job.

God will take care of me. I will hope in the Lord always.
God has been revealing quite a bit of stuff to me about things I need to work on. It's all about healing and moving on I guess. Life lessons aren't necessarily fun or easy. They are painful and hard. I can do it. I know promises that God has given and are wanting to give and bless His children with.

Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

I'm also learning to truly digest the scriptures that I read. Not just read them but really get into what it means and chew on it to know exactly how to apply it to my life.

Learning about "love" like 1 John, the whole book. Really trying to get it and live it out.
It's a slow process but small steps forward are better than taking steps backwards which was the road I was headed down. Not anymore though.

I love that the sun is starting to shine through the clouds and that the snow is melting. I'm so ready for spring and warm weather.

I hope God blesses you today!
