  • Bleh.

    I'm tired and weirded out by this whole day.

    First it was church this morning. Weird, long story there... and no, it wasn't pretty.

    Then tonight, church wasn't so crazy... but it was another "fiery" sermon and then after the message was all over my pastor made a nice announcement about my wedding (and a couple other weddings this year). It messes up my brain when he does that. I can handle a "mean" sermon, and I can handle nice, sweet, sugary announcements... but not back-to-back.

    And then I got back home and found out my friend's brother's myspace got hacked by a queer. It was pretty awful, so I called them to say something... my friend's asleep and her dad answered the phone. I don't know what it is, but I find it awkward talking to any of my friends' parents usually.

    I need to get some sleep... I wish my brain would just stop thinking tonight before I notice anything else weird.

  • it all makes sense eventually.

    Remember when I worked at the doctor's office? I was always dealing with constantly-ringing phones, lots of people with appointments, stressful working conditions... like all the time. I learned to deal with it, even though I shouldn't have had to deal with a working environment like that. Well, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

    So my boss tells me this week that things are going to get really tough for a 2-week period called "peak". It's when everyone gets their W-2s and they want to get their taxes done, so things get CRAZY for us. Many receptionists will drop out because they can't handle it, but the ones that do their job right and can handle the phones and appointments will become very valuable and get lots of hours.

    All that stress I went through at the doctor's office is gonna pay off. I work at a company that knows how to appreciate their employees, and they need someone with my skills through the tax season. God sure knows how to take care of us, doesn't He? I'm so glad He gave me this job!

  • I almost left OB... again.

    I don't know if many people saw it, but this morning when I checked OB there was a post from a moderator that really made me feel like making a final post to tell everyone I'm leaving the site. It's not because I had an attitude or whatever, but because I was all of a sudden unwelcome.

    How would you feel if an IFB told you that you're only a guest on the site, and you've had a bad attitude (when you've been doing your best to be as sweet as possible while still disagreeing and stating your opinion)? Umm... hello, I go to an IFB church and get along with people there, so why are other IFBs treating me like a heretic? Thankfully the thread is locked and that offending post is deleted. I'm not mentioning names because it was removed, but I just thought I'd point out how ridiculous it was.

    I'm thankful for IFBs like Rachel (joyfulpraise93) who have the right attitude. Even though she would disagree with me on some things, we still get along and don't have a problem talking to each other. She doesn't shun me as a heretic or tell others to avoid talking to me. I don't understand why some people can't get along with people outside their little box of IFB-ism. It doesn't make sense.

  • I'm employed!!!

    I'm officially an employee at H&R Block! I start as a receptionist tomorrow morning. Today they trained me a little and showed me around the office, and I just know my job is going to be awesome! The people working there are so nice.... I'm so excited!!

    Praise the Lord!!!! (thanks for praying everyone)

  • I've almost got a job!!!!!

    Please pray that I get it. I applied at H & R Block today. If I get the job, I'll have work till April and then they won't need me (which works out great because I wouldn't have to put in 2 weeks notice...I'd just be done with the seasonal work before I get married). Another great thing is that H&R Block is nationwide, I could get a job there almost anywhere.

    If the manager calls me for an interview tomorrow, I really could get this job. It sounds like they are looking for someone to do part-time receptionist work. Once I start, I might be able to get more hours by working at another branch, too.

    It's really better than just working retail and getting wacky hours and low pay doing something I don't enjoy. I won't get paid a whole lot if I get this job, but it would be a fun job.

  • 2008

    2007 (7 = number of completion) is over, and 2008 (8 = number of new beginnings) is here.

    That's so true, isn't it? Last year I finally gave in to God's will and let Vince pursue a relationship with me, which eventually led to our engagement. That was the completion of step one in our lives together... committing to love each other for the rest of our lives, and starting the day we get married, we will spend the rest of our lives together.

    This year, Vince and I will be married. We will officially begin a new family.

    On the subject of marriage, it really amazes me how God works in two people's lives to bring them together to form a new family. Ever since Vince asked me to marry him, and I accepted, we began our life-long commitment there. The wedding ceremony and the vows are not where that commitment starts. We've grown so close and so like-minded on everything, it's becoming more of a need than just a desire to be together.

    Vince and I aren't the only ones who got engaged last year and will be married this year. I know of at least 2 other couples who are doing the same thing.

  • a not-so-happy holiday

    Well, this is the first year I've officially skipped Christmas. Let me tell you, it's probably the most boring day I've had this year. No one around here felt like buying Christmas presents or decorating or doing anything for the holiday. I'm sitting here wishing I could have a job, wishing I could have worked on Christmas day because I don't have anything better to do. Hey, don't people get paid extra for working on a holiday anyway?

    Everything's just depressing around here. I miss Vince so much. This distance is gonna kill me.

  • missing him.

    I flew back to California yesterday. I don't think there are words in the English language that could describe the way I feel. Letting Vince walk away at the airport was painful... like I tore my heart right out of my chest and left it there.

    I almost missed the plane from Indianapolis, and barely made it on by 5 minutes. I almost hate the fact that I didn't miss it. I guess I had to leave sometime though...

    ***************


    Now that I'm back here, I have to face reality again. I hate how some adults that are way older than me have the maturity of children.

    Being away from Vince... my life feels pretty worthless. Actually, being in California makes me feel that way. Over in Ohio, I spent so much time with people from church, and a lot of people were just like family even though I had just met them. Sure, some people here care about me... but I feel like I'm being held back from the Lord's will here. It felt right to be with Vince, and it feels wrong to be here. I don't belong here.

    I'm so homesick.

  • It's so not fair.

    I'm seriously jealous of anyone that gets a short engagement. I hate waiting to be married. I absolutely despise it.

    Ok, I just had to get that out. I saw a bunch of people on OB saying how a long engagement isn't a good idea, and you know what? I completely agree with them! (wow, how's that for a surprise??) It's driving me crazy!!!

    Rant over.
