Wow it's been six months since i even remembered that I had this thing to write anything. Things have been iffy lately. I dont even know what to say.
So basically, I had the most amazing summer ever. First on june 29th... my birthday.. i went to echolake bible camp for a week. Then I came home for a whole week and then was off to Indianapolis for three weeks. AMAZING! Not only did I get to serve God and see Robbie and Nick, but I also got to meet some amazing people. Including the people I worked with, Sarah, Julie, Ebert and Sarah's mom. It was absolutely amazing and I completely miss them.
Hmm what else has been happening. Well I've been pretty fustrated lately.Just with my spiritual life and my lifein general.
On October 4 I started a new job with St Amant. Basically I work with 2 boys, one 4 and one 5 who have autism. I work with one of them in the morning and one in the afternoon and as of right now I'm super stressed out. I'm still technically employed by petland, which is sweet for the discounts, but basically I told them I won't be working any shifts until my Christmas break around December 19.
Ha! Oh yeah while I was on my trip I got a tattoo on my weekend off. I love it and I'm going for my second ink on Nov 15 which is about 5 days away. So excited.
Since I last typed we also had two elections. One Canadian and one American. For us Canadians the outcome is still the same, we're still a conservative minority government. For the Americans on the other hand, the outcome was incredible. The United States made history on Nov 4 by electing their first ever black president. It's funny how racial the election became. But I mean if you're really going to make that an issue in the whole thing. He is half and half. I mean he
s got some white in there too. It still amazes me though how completely for or against a candidate they are. Either you love one and hate the other or you love the other one and hate the other. It's amazing. I've heard people threaten to move to Canada if so and so was elected. We'll see who follows through with that threat of course.
I'm still completely and utterly single and praying for God to send me someone to love and to love me. I keep hearing this background voice who says I need to find my worth in God first. I know that's true but it's still completely and utterly fustrating. It seems every where I look around people I graduated with and maybe one year older are getting married and having babies. I mean I don't want it because I'm "jealous", I've always wanted that more myself, but lately seeing all this just makes it that much harder. I just want someone to love me and hold me and encourage me and hold me accountable, both to him and God. I know God has someone waiting for me and I need to have patience, and I am putting myself out there, I just have to wait and honestly I'm discouraged.
I've started working out at the gym. Lately I go once a week with a trainer who I know from highschool that pushes me to the extreme. I love it, I feel great about it and I'm losing weight from it. Losing weight is also helped by the fact that I'm also playing on a womens soccer team. I'm so bad because I haven't played organized soccer since grade three, but I love it. It's actually so fun, even though I virtually want to lay down and die after a game. So tired but happy. I'm also coaching a co-ed team for fun which it is! So far I haven't necessarily lost weight because muscle weighs more than weight but my belly has shrunk and I overall have more energy.
I don't think there's much else so share so I'm going to go to bed because I have to work tomorrow!
