The blessings of God are many!

OK! I haven't posted in almost a month! My goodness I am lazy! lol

Since then, I have a new candidate to take my apartment! A lady named Amy from Redding. She is really nice & just got a job at Shriner's Hospital. She came to see the place yesterday & really liked it. She is turning the application AND the credit check fee to my landlord on Friday!! YAY!! She was in town today with her mom apartment shopping & came by to show her mom that place. She told me that out of all the apartments she had seen she liked this one the best. All of the were either complete dumps or in raunchy neighborhoods. (YAY!! She likes my place!) lol So that is cool!

Another cool thing happened! As a lot of you know I lost my job with the State of CA in February. Well, I contested it & a few days ago I got a letter with a hearing date!! July 23rd @ 4pm!! Tomorrow I go to meet with a Union Representative so that she can look over my paperwork & get things in order for the hearing. The original Union Rep I had was a very brash lady. She kinda scared me. lol Well she works part-time now so she isn't going to be my union representative any longer. =)
I am excited, things look like they are changing for the better!

AND NOW! For the best news of the day!!! (drum roll)
MISHA AND CYLAS ARE COMING TO TOWN THE DAY OF MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!! They are going to be here a week from Friday! (7/4/08)
I can't wait! Just in time for me to move into my new place, which is one block away from Maria & a block or so away from the best C&C directors in the World! The Wilder's!!!

Well, my fingers are about to fall off from typing. lol
See everyone tomorrow at C&C!

Turning Frustration Into Faith

As many of you may know, I am in the process of moving, or at least trying to. =) In the past two weeks I thought I had someone lined up to take over my place. She changed her mind at the last minute but said her cousin wanted to take the place. They were supposed to come see the place last night, but never showed. Needless to say I was a litte frustrated & worried. Hoping they just didn't show up and nothing happened to them on the way up here.

SO, this morning I got a call from a really good friend of mine (at 7:00!), when I told her what happened, she reminded me that everything happens for a reason. Since they didn't show up, it was most likey for a good reason. They could have been crazy people or God had someone else in mind to take my place, I should not be frustrated & rely on God. Something she said is SO true: "Whenever we try to control a situation, that is when we Loose control." After we got off the phone I prayed that God's will be done in this situation. I got onto Craigslist and started looking for a new candiate. I e-mailed this guy who lives in AZ and is moving out here for a job. A few minutes later I got an e-mail from him asking me to call him immediatley, he was very interested. We spoke for a while and he wants the place!! God is so awesome! I don't want to count my eggs before they hatch, but it would be so awesome if this happened.

I woke up frustrated but when I left for work I was thanking God for his blessings and favor. The power of positive thinking! lol How many times have I heard that? =) It works!

I know that a lot of the time it's hard for me to rely on God instead of myself & trusting him to work things out for the best. Lately I feel like I am continually asking something of God and not giving enough in return. Has anyone else ever felt that way? Maybe that is a stupid question since God can do anything....

Well see everyone at Coffee Break tonight!
