Catch up

So I really need to start playing catch up with this little blog of mine. I have so much to say but just not enough time to write or say it. I really want to tell you about how school, work, Spain preparation and any other little things I've been doing. Hopefully I will get around to it after I run some errands.
Below are a few photos (sorry they are blurry I quickly snapped them with my phone)of the delightful feast we enjoyed last week in my culinary 111 class. Oh and I got an A in it!! Praise God I'm so happy!

busy bee

Right now this is what life looks like.

On Monday I go to school and take a sanitation and safety class.
Tuesdays and Wednesdays I leave to school early in the morning for my culinary course. Then I try to do all my studying for my weekly test on Thursday.
On Thursday I wake up early again and go to class then I rush off to work.
On Friday I run little errands for the week and try to squeeze in sewing time which usually doesn't happen :( Then I head to work til about 8:30. (there is just not enough time in the day)
On Saturday I head down to the dream center and hang out with my lovely kiddos over there. Then I rush back to Covina to work til closing
On Sunday I watch the babies in the nursery and then go to service. After church I just try to relax before the whole thing repeats again the next morning.

Sadly this leaves me with barely anytime to blog.
So please forgive me for the lack of blog posts. I really enjoy blogging. I mean I right in my journal everynight but I also like to have and online account with videos and photos to document my day to day life.

I do have good news though. Starting April 4Th I will only be going to school 3 days a week! Which means I won't be driving to downtown five times a week and I'll have some free time to be creative. Only I want to do is cook and sew. If I just had some time.

Happy Sunday!

Thank you Lord for her life. Let her story bring glory to your name.

slow

life
will you please
oh please
slow down a bit
your going a little to fast
and word on the street is you only get faster...
So do me a favor and take it easy.
Cause I'm really trying to keep up.
It's been kinda hectic this past week
Between doing stuff for
school
job
volunteer
Spain
upcoming Lovely Lemondrops booth
I rarely find the time to just relax and take it all in.
Oh life, nobody said you would be easy...
you are certainly wearing me out.

But I see bright days ahead.
Days of not waking up before five!
Yay.
Now that I can't wait for.

woah

Life is getting a little messy right now.
I just feel like there is sooooooo much to do and not enough time in the world to do it all.
And adding a new job to the mix doesn't make it any easier.
I have to admit that I am so grateful that I got the job but it can be a bit stressful at times.
I having a hard time dealing with some people at work who aren't so nice. It's just really not fun. But I have learned in my little life that when someone is mean/rude/unkind you just be as sweet as you can to them. Then they just don't know what to think. And let me tell you that ain't easy. But it is far better then firing back some nasty words.

So dear friends will you please pray for my work situation. I mean I really like my job but I don't know how long I can deal with this certain someone. Pray that I wont stress and will enjoy getting to meet and talk to everyone who comes into my little workplace.

Im also busy with school and trying to find ways to fund my Spain Mission Trip. I am absolutely thrilled. I pray the Lord uses me to lead hurt hearts to him. So wont you please pray that I can fund ALL the money for the trip. That would be lovely! I don't want to have to worry about not coming up with enough cash.

Boy am I glad I have no work tomorrow. After five days of working straight a little break will do me good. There is much to be done. I have an essay to write and errands to run.

I hope you all had a blessed Sunday.

Thankful

Today was such a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the sky was the prettiest blue. I had a great time at school and I'm so thankful that the Lord is making all my school stuff go so smoothly. I was really worried about it and now I have so much peace knowing that I'm in a good program.

Another lovely thing about today was that I finally started work and I love it. I'm working at a little ice cream parlor. Is that not the perfect job for me right now when I'm in school? It's seriously fantastic and it will be oh so wonderful to finally be making some money. I mean I babysit often but I needed some more stability. I had been praying for a good job for a long time and the Lord went above and beyond with his answer. He never seizes to amaze me. I just adore him.
