where my life is going?

I wish I knew the answer to that.None of my plans have gone.

I'm not back at Desales, and won't be until 2009.
and now, suddenly I am jobless and carless.

Thursday, I found out that the program I was working under for Sleepy's was done. In other words, John is IMMEDIATELY jobless with no prior notice, and I didn't do anything wrong to deserve losing the job.

Then, Friday, my car broke down on the side of the road. Yes, the car I just bought. And today I found out that the bill for the car is $800. Needless to say, I don't have enough money to fix it.

I don't know why this is happening.

Its days like the past few days that I really question whether God is in control.

Texting: A bad habit.

The American College of Emergency Physicians warned this week of the danger of more serious accidents involving oblivious texters.

The ER doctors cite rising reports from doctors around the country of injuries involving text-messaging pedestrians, bicyclists, Rollerbladers (sic), even motorists.

Most involve scrapes, cuts and sprains from texters who walked into lampposts or walls or tripped over curbs.

Still, ER doctors who responded to a recent informal query from the organization reported two deaths, both in California. A San Francisco woman was killed by a pickup truck earlier this year when she stepped off a curb while texting, and a Bakersfield man was killed last year by a car while crossing the street and texting.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has no national estimate on how common texting-related injuries are. But among the reports it has received: A 15-year-old girl fell off her horse while texting, suffering head and back injuries, and a 13-year-old girl suffered belly, leg and arm burns after texting her boyfriend while cooking noodles.

How stupid do you have to be to text while riding a horse? Come on now....

The best day of the year!

Today is International Lefthanders Day! Give your favorite southpaw a hug-or try switching hands for a day!

A mad packing contest

That's what today was like. My room is almost all packed, and today we made some major progress with the garage and arranged it so we could move all of the packed boxes from the rest of the house down there and have some extra space in the rest of the house. It was good to get something accomplished, but its sad because I'm realizing that in less than 3 weeks, I won't be living here anymore :(

An honest challenge

I said this to a friend last night, today I said it to myself (alot), and now, I say it to you.
It's coming from my heart, and it's me being honest and sharing what I'm thinking.

You often complain about how bad your life sucks, but have you ever stopped and said ,God's got everything in control, and I really don't need to worry, and knowing he has everything in control? It really means that you need to say, 'ya know... my life IS NOT that bad.' Have you ever considered the fact that he has things going on that even you don't understand, but he promises that it will all work out! Do you consider the fact that he has something going on that is bigger and better than yourself?

I said what I was thinking, because I thought it was needed. I've realized over the past 29 hours that really it was ME who needed to hear it, not her.

Yay!....not

I registered for courses today at RACC. If they reality hadn't sunk in that I will be at RACC again this fall and not at Desales, today I got a reality check. As of now the classes aren't set because I am trying to get another class (and skip the pre-requesit). So, I have to go to RACC at some point this week or next to try to get in that class. Until then...I REALLY need to get this Marketing course done!

I knew this would come back to haunt me...

Not being done with school.

I have 2 incomplete courses from the Spring Semester, and was told all along by the teachers 'take your time to finish these courses'. Well I took my time...and much more, as it is now the beginning of August and the courses are not done.
I have begun to make progress though, as I spent about 4 hours working on my Marketing course, in hopes to get this course done by the end of this week. The plan is to take to final exam on Thursday or Friday morning, and working on the final 2 projects from now to then...in hopes of having this course completely done by that point.

Then, I will start working on the Computer Applications course next week...and it is a LOT of work and it is HARD work! (You'd think someone that spends as much time on the computer as I do would find this course easy! Unfortunately, its not easy, but in fact quite complicated!

Hopefully I can have this stuff done within the next couple weeks!

It is LONG overdue!

A typical Sunday

Well sorta typical I guess.
I was up by 6:45 and off to church by 7:15 ( I seriously can't stress enough how old that is becoming). Then After church, I had to work (which I am also getting sick of). There, unlike yesterday....I sat there....bored. I was at one of the Sleepy's in Pottstown, but I again had some really good food, that someone else paid for (which makes it extra nice). I sat there thinking

Is this what Sunday, A day of rest is supposed to look like? Most Sundays I
spend at least 3- 4hours driving, between church,work, West Valley PCA church
plant meetings,and home. This cna't be what 'A day of rest' should look like.

I don't like it, but it is what it is, and at this point, it's all I got So I try to at least be thankful for the hours at work and the ability to still get to church and spend some time with people before I need to leave for work. I guess in that aspect, I'm thankful that my church starts at a rediculously early time. It gives me time to fellowship afterwards without rushing right out of church or missing church, like I would if we still met at 11.

Being Productive at work!

For me, that is a revolutionary concept! For the most part, I sit in a chair for 11 hours and am bored all day and don't do much of anything. Well, today I was in Morgantown, and was actually quite busy. The District Manager was there, so it meant a lot of people were calling into the store for approval codes and what not. I became the phone operator, and answer AT LEAST 100 calls during the day. It certainly kept me busy and not bored for once. There was even an instance where both salespeople and the DM were with costumers at the same time, and suddenly I got thrown into the role of "keep this lady in the store long enough so someone can get free and help her. Don't say anything stupid, and don't let her walk!"

Well, I won....as she didn't go anywhere and eventually bought.

IT was actually a fun day at work, because for once I didn't just sit in a store,try not to fall asleep, and play games on my phone.

Productivity is sweet! :P

The company you keep will determine the trouble that you meet!!

Think about THAT!
