Nothing Specific

This post is about nothing imparticular. Of course, so was the sitcom Seinfield which did very well - but I can assure you -- this will not be as great!

I'm still job hunting. More rejection - which of course I love. :( I bought a movie just to treat myself after feeling crummy for the past 2 weeks. Maybe it wasn't the wisest thing to do - at this point - I really don't care. Everything is up in the air. I finally found an awesome job I'd be good at - but it's not just for the summer. :( *sniff*

What's a post without a funny story??

Last week I paid bills and did financial things and that depressed me when I had a paycheck coming every other week, now it's worse!! I was about to go into pity-party mode and thought - NO! God is bigger than any bill. So I went about my day and tried not to think about it - although that's hard to do when you have more time on your hands and complete solitude than you've had for years! I came home from running errands and checked my mail. There were 2 letters. One, not for me, and the other, from the US Dept. of Revenue!! Woo- Hoo!! I got a HUGE smile on my face. I started saying to myself - see, isn't it great to see how God will meet my needs. I was freaking out about bills and God put this in my mailbox on the very day I said I'm not going to worry about it, I'm just going to trust Him. I opened it up expecting the "free money" check the govt. is issuing this year. Imagine my shock when there were several zeros missing from the check. :O My refunds checks are never anything to bat an eyelash at, and this was one of those checks. I laughed to myself at the Lord's humor - and also what He must have thought of me after my huge speech to myself. I chuckled out loud and said, ok Lord, I meant it when I said I was going to trust you. Obviously, you don't want me to have my "free-money" right now. I was willing to trust you before this check came, and I don't plan on changing that.

I'm trying not to spaz out, and although that is "somewhat" difficult for me, I do believe I've been given extra grace in this area. People keep teasing me about becoming a "milk maid." I honestly think I would make a terrible farm hand. I'd probably be throwing up, grouchy, and miserable. I really, really, really hope and trust this is not some test from the Lord. I feel like I keep stepping out of my comfort zone - how much more does He want. I know He wants all of me - but I don't see what good I'll be if I'm so frazzled and undone that I'm completely useless. Hmmmm - there's got to be a sermon in there somewhere. Maybe I missed my calling to be a preacher!! ha ha LOL

I miss my family. I know this blog was primarily created so we could keep in touch better - even though I usually call them with the happenings of my life before I blog about it - but typing to a monitor sure doesn't replace sitting around the table with them and just enjoying their company even if nothing is being said (which, if you know me, is hard to believe I can be mute).

No more melancholy thoughts for today. I'm off to find adventure and to face it head on!! Actually I'm just going to A & W to drop off an application. Do you think I'll be good at making floats?? If hired - I shall let you know. I'm hoping to get tired of the food therefore losing weight. If hired - I shall inform you of that also!! :P ha ha

Here's to root beer floats and weightloss!! (not together of course - b/c together they cause weightGAIN!)
