Last night I had the best sleep of my life. No question about it. Yesterday my step-dad had me come into the Exton showroom. I picked up a very nice headboard/footboard there and got the sale written up. An hour later, I was driving to pick up the matress in Lancaster. I set it up yesterday afternoon and was sleeping on it hours later.
Tonight's sleep will be even better with the temper-pedic pillow my stepdad brought home for me tonight!!!!
It's as close to heaven as I have been so far!
In addition, today I FINALLY got my haircut. Now I just need to wait a couple weeks before I can dye my hair (hopefully)
As for everything else, the job hunt is still on. I have to call Sears tomorrow and then check a few places early next week. This is getting old...

what I have been up too.
Where I have been over the past few days:
Saturday I worked all day, from 10-9
Sunday I also worked all day after church 11-7
Monday I was home all day and then had an interview/tour with UPS at 6 pm. Then I got to spend some day with my good friend Ryan. We went to the Golf drving range. It was my first time doing it. All I had ever done before was mini-golf. I was pretty terrible, even for my first time, but it was certainly fun. Then we went to get some late night food.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, I did work around the house and then tried to get school done, and failed misserably!
Today I had some errands to run, including one for my mom in Downingtown (where I am now). In a few minutes, I will be going to the Sleepy's Exton showroom to check out some beds ( I need a new one).
Since those of you who know me from Cornerstone have last seen me I have :
1.Gotten a new car
2. Been turned down on the job I applied for with Sleepy's (which is very frustrating, but what can I do?)
3. Found out that there is a possibility my family will be moving to Fredericksburg,VA
4. Attempted to get a much needed haircut, to no avail.
5. Had an interview/tour with UPS. They offered me a position but the hours and pay is not what I was made to believe it was, so I probably will not take it.
6. Searched for other jobs, but haven't found much yet. I really need to stop going slow and hurry up and find something.
7. Not received a paycheck in what is about to be 7 weeks. Needless to say, I am upset with the people with Sleepy's who handled my timesheets. Thank goodness I was able to manage my last paycheck well, because I still have money left from it.
That's about it I think!
Hopefully I can get that haircut today!

No words to express my thoughts on this.
The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians, who acknowledge Jesus with their lips then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.

Conversations with an athiest...
Recently, I had a conversation online with a friend who has basically rejected everything about Christianity. Dealing with him is frustrating because I don't understand his thinking.
Hopefully at least questioning his thinking will get somewhere.
His away message had the following quote
Here is the conversation that followed. To protect the ignorant, I took out his screen name...
ryanhoward1pro (10:44:41 PM): what’s with your away message?
M (10:46:43 PM): what don’t you understand?
ryanhoward1pro (10:47:20 PM): Doesn't really make sense
M (10:47:28 PM): sure it does
ryanhoward1pro (10:47:41 PM): How so
M (10:47:53 PM): god r u really that stupid
M (10:48:01 PM): its pretty straight forward
ryanhoward1pro (10:49:23 PM): Not really
ryanhoward1pro (10:50:09 PM): An atheist says there are no gods, so how could you say someone is an atheist when they believe in God?
M (10:50:29 PM): because they discard the possibility of all other gods
ryanhoward1pro (10:51:01 PM): that doesn't make them an atheist...
ryanhoward1pro (10:51:35 PM): and what "other gods" are you referring to
M (10:51:48 PM): omfg
M (10:52:04 PM): this is going right over your head and its such a simple concept
ryanhoward1pro (10:52:13 PM): give me a decent answer if you believe it
ryanhoward1pro (10:52:18 PM): No it's not
M (10:52:54 PM): a·the·ist // a person who denies or disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings.
ryanhoward1pro (10:53:17 PM): A Christian doesn't
M (10:53:42 PM): yes they deny the existence of all other supreme beings except for god
ryanhoward1pro (10:54:20 PM): all other, but they still believe in one.
M (10:55:06 PM): but it still fits the description
M (10:55:29 PM): it doesn’t say all supreme beings just a supreme being or beings
ryanhoward1pro (10:55:38 PM): ok whatever
ryanhoward1pro (10:56:21 PM): so do you do this because you believe, or is it because you are SO AGAINST conforming
ryanhoward1pro (10:57:02 PM): *believed it*
ryanhoward1pro (10:57:27 PM): dang it........ *believe it*
M (10:57:29 PM): I’m not against conforming I'm just for raising questions that challenge others beliefs
ryanhoward1pro (10:57:45 PM): For what reason?
M (10:57:49 PM): because it will either weaken or strengthen their belief
M (10:58:02 PM): both being beneficial
ryanhoward1pro (10:58:24 PM): So what do YOU
ryanhoward1pro (10:58:28 PM): believe
M (10:59:17 PM): That god as Christians view him doesn’t exist
ryanhoward1pro (11:00:01 PM): and what evidence do you have for that?
M (11:00:43 PM): what evidence do u have for Christianity
ryanhoward1pro (11:00:50 PM): I see it all around me
(At this point I was checking my email quickly, and he decided to leave)
M (11:01:03 PM): tell me
M (11:01:50 PM): ok w/e
M (11:01:51 PM): bye
Lord,use me to point him to you. Change his heart. MAKE HIM believe
Hopefully at least questioning his thinking will get somewhere.
His away message had the following quote
I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you
do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will
understand why I dismiss yours.

Slurpees, and Paint!
Last night was very succesful. I did some thinking about my "place" in what Cornerstone is doing. It was a great time to spend some time with people from Cornerstone, and get some work done on the WVPC office. Oh, and the slushies were quite tasty!!!! YUMMY!!! :P

Doing some thinking.
I'm sitting here in the Emmaus triangle, waiting until 8 to help a few guys work on the West Valley PC church office. Oh how I love technology. I can sit here looking at Mas Café and watch traffic pass bye, and blog on my phone!
I'm excited to see a few of the people I know from Cornerstone and get a chance to do some work for the office.
I'm going to spend a lot of time thinking tonight as well. Thinking about things like 'Is the church plant where I am called to be' and 'what are the reasons to stay with Cornerstone', 'What are the reasons to go with the church plant'
In a way, I already THINK I know what I am going to do and what I should do, but I've tried to keep my eyes open to go where I have been called and where I am needed.
Do I stay with my 'community' at Cornerstone? Do I go with the church plant and be a part of something special and life changing in Emmaus?
I'm still thinking and praying about this!
If you read this, pray that everyone arrives safely tonight and that we can use our time effectively. Also pray that our speech and actions will be pleasing to HIM, the one who ALREADY knows all things, including all the things I pray to know.
Open my eyes, in your timing.

Something about a Midnight snack.
I am sitting here right now eating Pizza, my midnight snack, or pretty close to midnight snack. Theres something about food late in the night that makes me say 'I really NEED food right now'. 10 minutes, and 3 slices of Pizza later, I feel gross and could throw up....wishing I would have never believed yet another lie, 'you NEED this food and it will make you FEEL better'
Ugh, instead I feel gross.
Ugh, instead I feel gross.

Some catching up to do...
I need to do some catching up. It has been 10 days since my last post, after going months of posting almost every day. I'm not really sure what happened , but here are a few explanations for my absence.
1. I have been busy trying to finish school (thanks to the provoking of a good friend, and a good mother)
2. My computer broke. Yeah my stupid computer doesn't want to turn on. That kinda sucks.
3. I lost the 'desire' to blog. Not sure why, but I did.
So here's a catch up. I feel like the past 10 and next 10-20 days will change a lot. I'm at a point of make or break, and I'm about to break. I need to get this school done and get a transcript to Desales. That will help me determine my plans for the fall. I also am waiting to hear back from Sleepy's (yes still waiting after 10 days) Basically it has come to a point where I can only work Saturdays and Sundays with my current position...so I need to figure out what is going on. I hate working sundays but I have to tomorrow. The most hours from Sunday and Saturday I can get in one week is 19...so that's not gonna work out for me...especially since I am about to buy a new car (which is a discussion for another day....a soon day...not 10 days from now).
Nathanelle, I miss ya buddy! (also a discussion for another day.)
See you readers tomorrow!
