update on my life

Life is goin good.
I am out of school for winter break (thank goodness)
I've had so much time to work on alot of things- (church stuff) - i 've been a volunteer/leader for our youth for about 2 months or so now, i'm starting to realize that the guy thats kinda over me for it, doesnt really want to do any in depth lessons ... i love in depth lessons... so... my plan is to do some in depth Lesssons for the kids. my best friend, Emily, is also helping with the youth, so its been really great. she and i did a study on revelation (didnt go too well) so we're going to be doing more simple lessons. Sunday she did a lesson on helping others- in 2 weeks im doing a wednesday lesson on Prayer, then i also will have the wednesday after that to myself, so i'll have to figure something out for that... im excited about it all.- I am in the midst of getting our group together so we all can go to Planet wisdom ( a student conference) i loved going when i was a youth, and if anything i'll go myself. (lol) anyways- it was disheartening to see about 10 of the youth leave all at one time- one day just 10 of them (all friends) decided they werent going to wednesday youth- -we had 1 youth that night. we just played games, we didnt do a lesson. from then on we've had 3 youth come every wednesday- the pastors son, the lead youth leaders daughter and then another kid- so... just sad. but i've been reading and it said that it doesnt matter about numbers, as long as you have a healthy youth group. - so thats our focus right now, getting it to be healthy.... how?--- i have no clue. but I am praying on it.
lets see.... thats about it as far as church goes.
still looking for a job. -they're looking into getting me a job here, theres a few depts that need some sort of admin- i'd really prefer to just stay here where im at now.. i know everyone, i know what people do (for the most part) and everything.... we'll see tho.

We shall see how it goes....

Pondering my current life problems.

Friday July 10th i basically lost my job. they told me that my position had been disolved. But they said that I could either go, or I could accept a job, for a project for ITS (sister company within the same facility) - it's Inventory. I accepted the job, due to the fact that one is better than none. - While they said that if the economy / business picks up, then they could hire us back after the project is done, or they could get rid of us in the midst of doing the inventory.... i've been looking for jobs, but its bleak. so very bleak. I recently have been thinking on going to school full time, and then take my severence pay, and then get student aid to help out, and get a little job.
Or i could ride this out til the end... maybe they'll have something, maybe they wont, in that case i could still do option a. (school.)
Or i could find a job while doing this, and most likely get paid a lot less than what I'm getting here... but at least my job would be safe?????
i dont know.
I'll be thinking and praying on it.
I am stressed about it.
im also really exhausted from working.....
In the end I know that there's a reason for everything.

Pondering on Everything

As of Friday, July 10th I got laid off. - sort of. they told me that the position that I had, got dissolved. and basically letting me go, unless if i chose to participate in an inventory project that our sister company has ... (its all in the same building, so I would still be going to the same place every day.) - I accepted. a job is better than none, right? but still they're saying that it will last until Sept. poss a little longer. they said that if the economy/business gets better by then, then they may can find a place for us back in the company... but anyways... So i've been looking for jobs. the job market isnt near like how it was a few yrs ago when i did this before.... i havnet found many at all .... :o( I'm considering of going to school full time, get my severence, and then get some student aid, and get a little job somewhere that will work w/ my school schedule... i dont know. i dont know what i should do. im still looking for a job, but as Simon pointed out to me last night... I'll prob. be getting paid more doing this job than finding another a job... like $5 more an hour... at least.Yes this inventory is horrible. its exhausting, my legs hurt, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. im tired. i dont want to be doing it. .... but the majority of us originally worked in the office, and we're facing similar

update

I guess its about time for an update.
It's been nearly a month since simon and I have lived together.
Simon is now living in college station with his good friend, Jeremy. they've been friends for a very long time. Jeremy's been living there for a while, and now Simon's gonna be going to A&M. If not this semester, then next semester. It's been hard having him away, since i've been so used to having him here. We lived together for about a year and a half before he went away.
But now I have my own apt. Its ok. I still have stuff to make it more home- y- but I dont know how long I'll stay here.- of course until my lease is up, but considering that I got it at a "special" price-- $100 off than what it is normally. - good price for what i got. - its just that if its $100 more expensive i probably couldnt afford it (and its not worth that much) But anyways---
We'll see what happens when the time comes. I'm sure that I will be still at the community college (going on my 5th yr at a 2 year school) but its ok. I only go at night time after work.
anyways.
Im excited to see what else i can do in my life.
Sure, i've got a good job, nice pay, nice benifits, but it's not what I want to do for the rest of my life.
I would really like to do something where I can at least sort of be creative or imaginative, and use the creative part of me, instead of just in putting data or packing boxes or calling cusomers, to see how we did on an engine.
- I work for a company that builds and repairs engines from airplanes.- good company. - like i said, not creative enough for me. Im in the marketing department- transferred from being the receptionist at the other end of the building.- i accepted the marketing dept thinking that i would be able to be more creative. boy, was I wrong. I liked it at the other end. i had alot to do, and kepet me busy. of course I have learned alot since ive been on this end. _ alot, about this industry, but this isnt what i want to do with my life.
I know that God has a plan for me. I'll just have to wait and see.

Life has been interesting lately.

Within the past 3 weeks, Simon has moved off to college. - only 3 hours away, but still. then of course i had to get my own place.

good day

So, i havent commited myself to updating my blog everyday.
My life isnt very interesting to update everyday.
Today however, i had a good day. I have been working on a task for sometime now. I have had a difficult time with it all.= I got the task from someone else who had done it before... however he is hard to get ahold of when i needed help with doing the task. so... I did the best I could, i wanted to do it correctly, but I didnt know how to use the program correctly. Eventually I went ahead and uploaded it. Came to find out that i needed alot more items, so after a few days of trying to contact the guy with trying to figure out how i could get more items on the sheet, finally he answered back saying that i needed to just uncheck one of the options.... soooo bottom line.... I figured out.... annnnd mostly by myself.... plus the guys original instructions had alot of extra work to do that was really catching me up... so i minimized of what needed to be done. i just hope that it doesnt effect of what we will see. but i will find out tomorrow.
bottom line, woot. that thing is done, and i figured it out. Im happy.
