Living Life as Jayden's Mommy….

Ok so it is late and I will make this short and sweet. Today was a rough day for me at work. The summary- you try to be nice to students and parents and allow for extra activities and it is unappreciated… so now what? You stop being nice and just be mean!

Anyways, I talked to my sister and she was sweet. I know she didn’t really care because her situation is completely different but she listened and stood up for me as did all of my friends that I yacked to this afternoon, Mrs. T, my cousin and next door neighbor at work, and my smidgen and even hubby! Nevertheless she is having her own issues with her boss. I guess the boss just doesn’t like her. It is weird I don’t get why everyone loves my little sis but they do. And this lady is out to get her… so… when we talked she told me how excited she was about a new position she is applying for. She said that God has it set up. She wanted to leave her 1st job, got turned down for several positions in that organization and finally moved to this one- she hates it! She is now wanting to move to another one and it turns out her one friend at her current job has moved to this new place and God has set it up so that she is meeting all of these people in power over there. She is applying for a job and the guy that currently has it is from our hometown!!! How strange is that??? It is totally awesome because she has met her new bosses and some of her coworkers and is making sure they get that name/face recognition downpat. I told her that God was awesome.

He has plans for all of us. He planned for her to be in this new place and she wanted to move to her current job so bad that he allowed it… only to let her know that it was not for her. But he had to make her see and understand that it was not about her. Plus he had to let her get mad so she would apply elsewhere. Now he is teaching us both patience and gratefulness…. and appreciation… so… I am now praying for me and my little sister. I have no doubt she will get it though. It all comes to her… it just does!

Ok so that is my thing… God has it under control and in all of the mess there is purpose period.

I have a feeling that my life will be drastically different in a few years (3). I will have a baby, a nice home, may or may not have a job but I am almost positive that money will not be an issue and I will be in my Tahoe leading up to my Escalade (that was for hubby). It will be. Then I will be blogging about the goodness of God some more and thinking back to what had to be gone through to get there… Be encouraged all….

That is all, there isn’t anymore ———— from the Grinch that Stole Christmas

Not too much happened. I taught most of the day. Had pizza at lunch, and then a fantastic dinner of spaghetti and broccoli and cheese.

Hubby and I are still talking about the whole house thing- I think we are just going to stick to prayer and let God lead us. That is what we are suppose to do anyways!

I have the dr. appt Thursday and I am still in prayer on that. Tonight it is 9 p.m. and I am falling asleep so.. I am headed that way. It is cold here. I can’t wait for winter clothes- brrrrrr.

I am going to do some elastic shopping cuz my clothes are getting tighter too.

I am not ashamed to say that God is wonderful. My brilliant husband shared with me that sometimes the issues that we must overcome are not necessarily about us. I am not getting the position in the town that I want yet, one might think because I need to learn patience. However it might be to show another Christian or even nonbeliever that he can do it and will do it. Even when the chips are down, people’s prayers will be heard and answered. Sometimes when things happen to you, especially the good stuff, it is because of others not necessarily you.

Well I prayed last night and told the Lord all the details. Of course they included that I do not LOVE to drive, I need to live with my husband. I really dislike driving. I like being at my own house with my own stuff. I want a new direction in life and feel that it is at the college level since I have managed to get an interview there. I am not trying to sound ungrateful but I like having a list of things to do in a week’s time and getting them done and not taking work home or worried about testing results. I got a phone call at work. YIKES!!!! But, I missed it so I returned it and the pay was low like the other position I applied for before summer. It must be average pay or something… lol… Anyways, it turns out that I am not going to be able to interview Monday like I thought. So now human resources will contact me to let me know if they are going to hold the position open until Friday. But, they have not yet interviewed for the supervisory position and that would look EXCELLENT on a re’sume’! But… yes I am still waiting on the big school to call. My application is still “forwarded to the hiring department” and that means that I am still in the running. My prayer is that they interview and hire sooner than later so that I can begin and still get paid. But hey- this is why I trust in God- so that I don’t have to worry about this kind of stuff. He will provide for all of my needs. He knows them better than I and I trust him for that.

So now that I have poured my heart out, I am going to continue to wait and pray. I do have the ere of expectancy. I expect a job that I love AND a wonderful paycheck that will allow for necessities and wants. I do not want to do a bunch of work at a current job that is going to be trashed though either! Man, I am so going to like my checks at my old job… and my car is going to be paid off! Now, instead of having extra money, I will break even. But all is well as of now. I am here with hubby til Monday so perhaps things will be all worked out in the next week or so. That is my prayer anyway.
