Today I was looking at this blog I started over a year ago when I actually had time to blog. I need to get better at updating and sharing my thoughts as some people actually seem to read them and care. I have since changed jobs and I now use some of my knowledge for the betterment of the public in my job.
I am now pursuing a Master's Degree in Public Administration.

For the last few months I have become overly frustrated. I am frustrated because I have realized that I have spent all this money getting a Bachelors degree and I have yet to use it in a career. Today I found a video on You Tube entitled "How to Know Your Life Purpose in 5 Minutes..." It really was an inspiring video.

I just wanted to tell my readers that God Loves You! He is performing a perfect and complete work in you. He has a plan and a purpose for your life. He will never leave you or forsake you. When the world tells you that you will never make it, tell the world "I have already in Jesus name." There is nothing you have done that God won't forgive. He will carry your burden if you will allow HimAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00564088188262093098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429849983494754915.post-318190274138108462013-08-11T03:36:00.000-05:002013-10-03T00:29:22.696-05:00Final Decision: A Miracle in the Making
Yesterday, I received a letter in the mail notifying me that I have been selected for a job interview. This job would increase my income by 4 times monthly; get me to a point where we don't have to struggle to pay bills; provide benefits; and allow me to spend adequate time with my husband and church family. I was so excited that I burst into tears. I have been praying for a while now thatAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00564088188262093098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429849983494754915.post-57939258174341279342013-08-10T04:52:00.001-05:002013-08-26T00:46:13.264-05:00Worship
Lately, God has been harping on me about worshiping Him. God loves us and He wants to show us how much He loves us. Worship is an important part of communication between us and the Kingdom. One thing I do know, when I'm having a bad day and I take the time to worship I feel better. When you are in worship evil cannot come in.

I am ready for change.
I am tired of feeling sluggish.
I am tired of being overweight.
I am tired of not being fit.
I want to eat better. I want to live longer. I want to be in good shape.
I want to prevent sickness and disease.
Ok, so I realize that it's definitely not New Years, but I am making a mid-year resolution to get into better shape.

So lately I have been having strange dreams.
I have dreamed of new jobs for DH and I that provide financial increase in a rather large amount; that could definitely be a blessing right now.
I've also dreamed of reuniting with an old friend, of which I am not sure that I am willing to reunite with because reuniting may cause hard feelings or could result in something unexpected that would also Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00564088188262093098noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429849983494754915.post-86013326189172682002013-05-24T00:51:00.002-05:002013-05-24T00:51:23.543-05:00Work Stuff
Tonight, I arrived at work and about 30 minutes after being there a couple walks in. The woman is really nice she books the room without question. The man with her complains about the rate. My hands are tied when it comes to the rate. I give them a discount as they requested and he is still complaining. I check them in then check in another couple.

Resolutions
This year I actually made a few resolutions. This year I plan to eat healthier and exercise more and hopefully in the process lose some weight. I also made a resolution to connect with my husband more beginning by praying for him daily. I also would like to increase my relationship with God and improve my finances.

We held mom a surprise birthday party on Saturday evening. She had her 50th birthday on the 9th. I feels really wierd saying that she is 50 now. Wow, she has aged gracefully.
