Trying to have faith..

I never thought I would come to the point where i would be thankful for an extra $20 to fill my car up with gas.. God has definitely been testing me more than I would like. I'm tired, I'm stressed, I'm not even sure what I'm supposed to do.. First week of summer camps just cancelled today, so again no work for ANOTHER full week. At this point I'm not sure I can even make it through the month.. I've been trying to get a second/other job, but no one wants to hire someone who is leaving to go to school. I'm not going to lie, I'm finding things pretty tough right now and its really cutting my pride down knowing I can't do it on my own anymore.. I was doing okay trusting God it would all work out, but bad news after bad news just isn't helping. It's hard to trust God when you're upset with him.. I would love some prayers if you think of me.

Restless

Its been a while since I've logged onto my blog! I guess there have been a few ups and downs in the past while. As I mentioned last month, being accepted into school is pretty exciting! I'm a bit nervous to move I will admit, as I've made Grande Prairie pretty homely over the past few years.. but I know the change will be good for me and I am excited to expand my knowledge and experience in school! All I am waiting on now is a student loan and bursaries, but I'm just running on faith assuming I will get them, so hopefully!

I haven't really worked for 6 weeks now.. wow what a change from my winter working months! I've been so used to the "go, go, go" attitude all winter that this summer has definitely been interesting for me. I can now properly define the word "restless"! Ha ha. The job I had originally been offered last month didn't exactly work out, long story short - they kept pushing the start date back and eventually never returned any of my calls. I was quite disappointed as I had stopped looking for the work during this time period assuming I would be working full-time. But God has been faithful and has continued to provide for me as I need it! I worked a a couple days last weekend at the alley to fill in for someone and am temping two days at Trinidad. The extra cash will definitely help me out this month! Again, God being faithful to take care of me, I got a job for the summer starting in a few weeks working for GPRC summer camps. Basically just helping run sports camps for the summer monday to friday. I'm looking forward to it forsure as I know it will be something I actually enjoy.

And I guess thats about all I have to say for now!
~Until next time~

ACCEPTED!!!

I GOT INTO SCHOOL!! :) I'm pretty excited about this! As long as everything works out financially, looks like I am going to be a full-time student in the fall! Now its applying for bursaries like crazy and working on getting a student loan. As long as this is what I am supposed to be doing, then I'm sure everything will work out just fine :)

I also got a job offer working at a Medic Company in the office! I should hopefully be starting next week.. I definitely need to get working already.

I recently got back from a nice little vacation on the west coast again. It was great to just relax and visit friends :) I'll throw up a couple pics of my time there.

Anyways, thats all I got for today. Chow!

No Update

My update so far is "No Update".. I'm pretty much just going day by day having no clue whats going to happen next! I can't even count the amount of resumes I've been putting out for work. I didn't think finding work would be as hard as it is right now! But I won't give up, I'll find something I'm sure.. I'm a firm believer in "Everything happens for a reason". God's got something up that sleeve of his! I'm getting pretty impatient with school too. I still haven't heard much on that end of things. I talked to a lady in the registrar last week and she said right now they were in the process of reviewing my application and I should hopefully know this week sometime... I sure hope it won't be long!! If I am accepted into the 2009 Fall term, I've got lots to get working on with a Student Loan and bursaries! If I don't get in this year, I'll try my best not to get too discouraged but try again next year. So yeah basically everything in my life is just floating around in mid-air right now, and let me tell you.. its SO hard to be patient in these circumstances!! I think in the past couple days my stress level has elevated like crazy, leaving me with headaches and nausea, no fun! Anyways, I just keep reminding myself, that there's a reason for all of this. God will take care of me and have me where he wants me.

Bad News..

Well I still don't know if I am accepted into school or not, so thats not the bad news.. I'm still waiting on that.

The bad news is.. I am getting laid off as of April 30th.. Its a tough hit for me being one of the many North Americans losing their jobs. I didn't really feel this whole recession thing affecting me, that is until now.. I'll admit, it's not the easiest pill to swallow! But I am going to try my best not to stress out too much and just take it one day at a time as I get my resumes out there. What else can I do right?

Obviously there is a reason for this. There is a plan, I know there is a plan... All I can say is "I trust you God.. I trust you".

Waiting..

Still waiting to hear back from the college.. IMPATIENTLY waiting might I add! I am a planner and an organizer so I like to have things figured out as to what I am going to do. Its hard waiting I have to say!! Hopefully I will hear back soon so I can move on from this point..

Finally finishing up Step 2!

Well it's been a while since I've put up an update as to how things are going with my application process! They received my first part (application form, transcript, pymt) a few weeks ago. I then received a package containing more information, reference forms, and my own personal/professional questionare. I've been working long and hard on this part, since I have to answer each of the questions in essay form. It tiring and time-consuming. I'm not used to this "writing" thing anymore! But with a lot of time to think everything through, I have finally finished it! Let's just say, the word "headache" has become very personal for me in the past few days.. But I'm done it, and I am very happy with my finished piece of writing :) I will be sending it in today and waiting for the next resonse hopefully within the next few weeks. If this is what I am supposed to do with my life, then I guess it will all fall into place :) I'm scared and excited all at the same time. It would definitely be an adjustment for me leaving the working field and becoming a full-time student! Ahhhh.. CrAzY!

On another note, my work is almost done at the bowling alley as league is just finishing up in playoffs next week. My hours will be cut back as summer is much slower. I need that break though, it will be good for me :) But of course, being the busy body that I am, it probably won't last long. If school is in my future, I'm sure I will be finding another second job this summer to make some extra bucks! I'm definitey going to try and keep it minimal though, I don't want to overdue it as I tend to do at times. I think I get worn out way too easily..

I got to go home last weekend, which was sooo nice! Short, but good to see family and friends again :) It was exciting to see my new nephew Kyler, he's a cutie! I'll throw up a picture or two.

And thats about it for now!
