Just Maybe....

I receive a phone call from a House Manufacturing company in Lynwood today. They asked me to come in for an interview this Friday. It looks like the position has great benefits, vacation pay, 401k and all the perks (not to mention, tuition reimbursement!!!). Not sure what it pays, however, in Human Resources, gettting experience is the first step. I'm excited to get my foot into a door and let them get to know me, not just the peice of paper that lists my learned skills and work experience. It's exciting, however, I must be careful and wise. If you read this, please say a prayer for me, to get the job if it is the right one, but also for the strength to turn it down if it isn't right for me.

I WILL trust that God has the right path for me somewhere around the corner. Amen.

Off to Track Practice....I'll send an update after the interview on Friday.

I want to do it all...Is that okay?

So, ...since I have finished school I have a long list of I want to dos...They consist of:

Learning to play the guitar

Serving at the Union Gospel Mission in Seattle or a similar organization once a week

Dig into some classics for some very missed personal reading time. Some Jane Austin perhaps??

Train for my first triathalon (The Subaru Women's Triathalon in August) and half marathon, which means running at least three times a week, biking on the weekends, and swimming a lot because that is my weakest sport

Find some fun plants and landscape my backyard

Regularly attend a small group with my church

Organize my itunes playlists for running time

Scan every single one of the photos I inherited from my mom and have them conveniently on nice slim compact disks

Be the backup singer for my friend Michelle's Band. This is really happening, however, I don't know how in the world I will make it to all the practices and eventually all the performances

Plan ahead and hang out with a friend to catch up at least twice a week

Manage to have enough time to get a puppy! Although, I don't think this will happen becuase it would be downright mean to leave my puppy at home while I go out and do all of this stuff! I really really want one though and then I would have to find lots of time to walk it.

Now...considering I'm at work every day from 8:00-4:30 and at least two evenings a week from 6:00-10:00pm, that leaves me very little time to accomplish it all, but bygolly I'm going to try!!!

More than all the busyness. I want to take this time in my life to be still and know that God is my strength and trust that He will direct me in the ways I should go. Knowing myself, I know that I tend to want to do everything and I will follow my heart to the ends of the earth. I want to listen less to my own desires and follow God's heart to the ends of the earth!

"Anything I wanted, I took. I did not restrain myself from any joy. I even found great pleasure in hard work, an additional reward for all my labors. But as I looked at everything I had worked so hard to accomplish, it was all so meaningless. It was like chasing the wind. There was nothing really worthwhile anywhere."
~Ecclesiastes 2:10-11 (Read all of Ecclesiastes 2)New Living Translation

First Post in the Blog World

This should be fun. I wanted a place besides myspace to post my thoughts, plus I thought this might be a fun and creative way to publicly journal a bit. As for now....my story is looking for jobs. Been feeling a bit discouraged lately wtih my income and schedule, but a good friend reminds me that I am blessed to have two jobs when some people don't have one. I truly do beleive that, however, that is not to say that I don't get stuck in my own little world from time to time. Got called off work at Bonefish tonight....so I'm here at the drawing board again sending out resumes. This is a lot of work, but I know it's all part of the game.
