E.G.O.
Everything Going Okay?
had a pretty nice day. went to an interview for the daycare/elementary school position. praying that i get this job (3hrs/day, so i would still work at the bank from 2-6) it would be a great way to get my foot in the door with the CFBISD. i'm very excited, and hoping to hear back from them soon. then filled up my gas tank ($33.48!) and went to my sisters. we baked a pineapple upside down cake, had buffalo wings & potato wedges, and played a game of scrabble. it was fun :) then i went to the boyfriends & made him dindin. taco salad & spanish rice. then came home, relaxed for a bit & went to my brothers bday party @ a mutual friends. i'm not much of a party-er/drinker its not really my thing. but i did enjoy watching them play beer-pong. its a pretty fun little game, or at least i think. haha. i just hung out and talked to a few people for a while then gave addie a hug and came home.
might lay out in my backyard tomorrow to try and get a tan started. can't afford to go to palm beach tan or a place like that, i'm cheap! not a fan of skin cancer, anyway.
hm. other than that, this weekend i'm going to a baby shower, lunch w.friends, church, church again, then six flags (maybe...depending on the price!) and i'm off on monday & back to work on tuesday...boo!
:)
say yer prayers!
loveyouuuuu.

fickled.
today was a pretty decent day. my 7th night of restless sleep. i did however manage to sneak in a good 2 hour nap. a few things about my day:
waited for waited seemed like eternity with my hopes up that the BCM would call the boyfriend to try & schedule an interview. no such luck. he should be having an interview sometime early next week, i'm praying so much that he lands this new job, its one step closer to where he wants to be with the bank, and its something he deserves so much. we had lunch, taco cabana :) i love food. and then went to car spa while his truck was getting cleaned. the girl there hooked it up with a $5 discount because i used to work with her @ sonic...haha see, i am good for something! after that the boyfriend played halo, while i took a nap haha. i played some games on his phone and somehow slipped into what felt like a powernap! then i got us dinner and watched him play some more halo.
i got a phone call from a CBISD rep who offered me an interview. not quite sure on what the position is, but i'm praying that i land this job. its part time, i'll be working with kids, and its one step towards me landing a job as a teacher when i graduate. if i don't get this job, i pray that someone who is qualified will get it, and will bless the children who are being taught. but i hope i am that person! hehe. i'm very thankful for the job that i have now, and i don't want to seem ungrateful :)
other than that, i'm about to lose another game of scrabble to my brother!
i've noted a few things that make me happy:
being with the boyfriend makes me want to be a better person, it makes me want to overcome my bad habits and become much more loving.
i like completing his sentences, which i do a lot. i guess i just really know him.
like when i grabbed dinner for us...it went something like this:
me: "what do you want for dinner son?"
boy: "mcdonalds sound-" me:" big mac no cheese fries and bbq sauce?" boy:"ahaha you know me so well"
haha. its the little things that make me laugh so hard my tummy hurts :)
friday is gonna be a busy day
lunch w/bro
dr appt @ 2
going to sisters @ 3
making pho for boyfriend
pay bills
go to walmart
and sweep/mop floors
* & if time permits: clean my car!
sat: baby shower, lunch w/ friends, maybe church @ the branch..i think they have a sat service..not too sure. & some fam time.
exciting :)
Romans 5:10
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

parachutes.
open up your heart and then you're free.
not a whole lot to write about tonight. today i met with my adviser at school and i picked out what classes i'm taking this summer, and also selected a deadline of when i would like to transfer to a university. right now my university decision has been narrowed down to: TCU, DBU, UNT. all three are wonderful schools, fairly close to home (close enough to drive home and visit, but not so close that mom will be there everyday... haha jk i love my mom and would love her to visit me all the time!). I still have a while to make a final decision.
after that i tried to fix my tail light but apparently its an electrical/wiring problem. hoping to get it fixed very soon.
had dinner with the boy, finally got my appetite back! i've had 6 nights of restless, horrible sleep. hopefully i can get some quality sleep soon.
i've made some very big decisions/changes in my life this week.
mostly realizing a lot of things that i wasn't sure of.
i know that no matter what trials i am going through, God is my Heavenly Father, yesterday, today & forever. He is always listening to me, and guiding me. He teaches me something new everyday, and wants me to succeed. Jesus Christ is my Savior, He died for me, through His blood I am cleansed of my sins. I know that there are so many different denominations of Christianity, and that I am currently overwhelmed with trying to find not only what is real, but what Heavenly Father tells me is right. Its a real journey, but I know that no matter what, my faith in God & Jesus will keep me strong. The Light of Christ shines in the darkest moments, He is the King of Kings, the Beginning & the End. He is the perfect example of all that I am to be. I'm so blessed to know this, and to have this so close to my heart.
in other news, the boy applied for a job promotion at another location. there are 3 reasons why i so badly want this for him:
1. he works so hard, does more than what is required of him, and he does it well.
2. he has been patient with the current job situation, and i want him to be blessed/rewarded for that.
3. so i can start posting pics of us on facebook, haha.
we've been praying about it for a couple of weeks. i even put him on the prayer request list for it at church. please pray for him and this new opportunity!
a dear friend of mine is moving. i get the details later this week, but i'm most def not looking forward to it!
my birthday is less than a month away, and i've so selfishly composed the list of things i want:
-someone to pay for an oil change & fill up my tank haha.
-a new purse, somethin' fancy
-new tires for my car....yea that won't happen anytime soon
-brookhaven bookstore giftcards
-a new CD player for my car
most of these things i NEED. like the gas, the oil change, giftcard & tires...hahaha.
in all honesty i don't want anything :) just to be able to celebrate my 21st birthday with a good bill of health exceeds all materialistic desires!
i'm so blessed to have such a wonderful family. my brother & i had lunch together. then i played scrabble with my other bro, he won :( both times! Cheaterrr! my sisters are my best friends, my mom is my source of strength & comfort, and i also have a wonderful boyfriend! he makes me so happy :)
i ordered an car USB charger today on amazon.com for $6 w/free shipping. i'm way stoked because my phone is always dead...i usually forget to charge it. but now i don't have to worry about breaking down on the highway and having a dead battery because i spent 3 hours playing Words with Friends. haha!
Jeremiah 29:11
(NIV)
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
I really love this verse. Whenever I'm unsure about how things are going I take a moment to think about this. Even though I have no idea what is in store for me, I know that by trusting in the Lord, and the plan He has laid before me, I will be safe.
- i rarely use NIV, i prefer KJV. but for this verse i like this translation a bit better. -

power
ok seriously..
i love when i pray and its answered immediately! i never ever expect instant results...but today was just beyond amazing!
i went to prayer group at the church (which used to be the Bible study that i created, somehow, over the course of 1 year it has transformed into prayer group, which is amazing!) tonight around 6, i got there way early because i was avoiding traffic so i picked up some snacks and jammed out to 94.9 until others started arriving. we did the usual which is : socialize, share our praises, how our prayer life is, and other positive things. then we eat and then take prayer request. after that we go in a circle and each of us pray out loud for whatever we'd like to. its really good and its helped me get more comfortable in praying out loud, and for others. so tonight i prayed for a relative. lo and behold! i got to hug that relative moments ago! what a relief! i'm so thankful that Heavenly Father listened to me, and answered my prayer! it may seem like a simple little thing, a coincidence to some, but for me it was an answer :)
i love love love it!
Makes me so incredibly happy :)
Jesus loves you <3
forever You are with us, forever You are strong.

lyrics.
I've thrown it all away that I might gain a life in You
I've found all else is loss compared to the joys of knowing You
Your beauty and Your majesty are far beyond compare
You've won my heart, now this will be my prayer
Take the world, but give me Jesus
You're the treasure in this life
Take the world, but give me Jesus
Is my cry
Now I've seen You as the Savior, I will leave the rest behind
Take the world, but give me Jesus is my cry
Into the world I go that I might live this life of love
I won't be overcome, for You are in me and You are strong
For time and for eternity, I know I'm in Your care
You've won my heart, now this will be my prayer
I've found all else is loss compared to the joys of knowing You
Your beauty and Your majesty are far beyond compare
You've won my heart, now this will be my prayer
Take the world, but give me Jesus
You're the treasure in this life
Take the world, but give me Jesus
Is my cry
Now I've seen You as the Savior, I will leave the rest behind
Take the world, but give me Jesus is my cry
Into the world I go that I might live this life of love
I won't be overcome, for You are in me and You are strong
For time and for eternity, I know I'm in Your care
You've won my heart, now this will be my prayer

formula
its amazing how quickly life changes. it seems like right when you get settled in, another earthquake hits. our emotions can change so drastically due to an unfamiliar situation, and it can turn into a domino effect of changes in our lives. no one ever said this was easy...if it were easy, how would we progress? i'm so thankful for this amazing knowledge that i've received on my journey.
the effects of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ are visible each and every day. we are able to pray to our Heavenly Father, we are able to truly repent, and be forgiven. we live because of the divine example of faith that was laid before us. On the third day, He rose again. The Son of God, the Messiah, Savior, Redeemer, Alpha & Omega, Beginning & End, Prince of Peace, Advocate, Deliverer, Bridegroom, Hope of Glory. God's grace continues to set us free, He gave His only begotten Son so that we may have eternal life. Jesus Christ suffered alone, so that we will never have to. Just as Jesus promised to rise again, He promises other things through out the scriptures, such as forgiveness, strength, saving grace, love, and blessings of plenty, He is the same yesterday, today & forever. He will keep His promises, if we strive to remain faithful. the Resurrection is about so much more than Him coming to life again, He conquered death, there are no chains to bind Him, He is above all. He is Holy. He is perfect, and as a Christian (meaning to be Christ-like) we too must strive for perfection, we will never achieve it here, all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, but if we have sincere faith, engage in meaningful prayer & repent, we will someday be perfect.
i am a loved daughter of God, and that statement alone means so much more than one may think.
my Easter sunday was wonderful. lots of family time, prayer, nice lunch & dinner, decent weather... couldn't have asked for a better group of people to share it with.
love.
