3 more months

Yes, I have 3 more months before I go on a 2 month externship. WOW- this school year has gone by so fast. And I don't even like school all that much, and for me to be sticking with it says alot. For whom, not sure. but with that said, I must start thinking about my "future". where should I go for my externship. Should I stay here in AZ, or should I travel to another state? What should I do. I don't even know. I know that come April 20, we are done with Scottsdale Culinary, and April 27, I start my externship. it is so close, but yet so far away. I have one problem, I know, I have more then one problem haha.
I need to find a job. My job is no longer letting me work at the lovely Majestic Pools. They don't want me working there part time. the busy season is coming up and they need someone full time there. So now I must find a part time job. But for only a couple of months.
I'm a little stressed out. No. Not really. for some reason, i'm not all that worried about finding a job. I know God will some how provide for me, and I'm fine with that. what I would love to happen, so to work a couple hours in the morning, then have the rest of the day to hang out with friends. but i know that won't happen. So, I will just keep on trusting in the Lord.
Well, it is late, and i need to get some shut eye, before my alarm clock goes off for work. so until my next post. have fun reading this one. =)

This is One of those stories....

... that you look back on and laugh about, and look back at and see how amazing God is.
This past weekend, Natalie and I decided to take a road trip. This is not our first road trip, but it is our first, just being the 2 of us. We went up to Bison Ranch to shop and to play in the snow. Well, that is all we did, Here is the story...
On the way back down to Payson, we decided to take pull of along the road to take some pic. well we drove off a side road and got caught in the snow. Yup, we are REALLY stuck. So we have no idea how to get the car up to the main road, we tried to push it but the care didn't budge. So we walk about 1/2 mile to the main highway to find help. While we are walking, I'm praying that God would provide us a great guy to help tow us out of the snow and to keep us safe. We make it to the highway, and are tyring to flag down someone. No one would stop to help us out. SO i get on the phone to call 911, they really didn't do us much good. They told us to walk up to Bison Ranch and the Highway 260. Well, there was no way 2 girls are going to hike to some place in snow. So God provided a wonderful family to help us. They drove into town to get some tow rope, and they towed us out of the snow.
Yes, at the time it was stressful and scary. But I knew God was watching over us, and I knew that God would provide someone to help. So this is one of those stories that you can look back at it now and laugh. and to see how God works, He never leaves us nor forsakes us. Even when 2 stupid girls get stuck in the snow, God is watching over us.

Could I be.. Good

I figured it was time for me to post another blog. It has been a while, and God is showing me on a daily basis what His will for my life is. Or what seems, He is making me think more about things. I don't know if it has to do with a new year, or the fact that God is opening my eyes to more of Him, through my devotions. I'm going through a study of the Proverbs 31 Women, and I have been through before ( and I know, this will not be the last), but this time I'm really taken my time on it. Diging deep, and really thinking about each verse. So here is just a small bit of what God has been showing me-
Virtous Wife...
. she does him good, not evil-
----> Goodness, moral and spirtiual excellence manifested in active kindness.
so goodness is manifested in active kindness, what does active kindness look like? Is it going the extra mile for a friend, for a co-worker? Or is simply pleasing God- by doing good toward others?
I found this quote, that I thought was worth me sharing.
"...give because it is your role. Because of who God is. a women after His heart is a women who gives. As Christianswe are to give, as wives we are to give, as mothers we are to give, as singles we are to give. That's our role, our assignment from God, as His Children.
No matter, what stage of life, I'm to do good, becuae it is what God demands of me.

Ok, so when you think this is the end, oh my friend... not yet.
I'm also reading this book, Lady in Waiting. and I have read this back in Highschool, and I had come across it again. So I thought I would pick it up and read it again. In this chapter the author is talking about Reckless Abandonment, she has this to say.
" a women is not born a women. Nor does she become one when she marries a man, bears a child and does their dirty linen,not even when she joins a women's liberation movement. A women becomes a women when she becomes what God wants her to be."
I will end saying, i can't wait to see what the next journey God takes me on. To see how much I will grow, and how much He loves me.
