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!

Survival In the Event of Disaster
Read this article: http://green.yahoo.com/news/ap/20080524/ap_on_re_us/environmental_survivalists.html
I don't know if this will happen or not, but it made me think about the fact that we are in the end time. Now is the time to ready ourselves spiritually, for those of you who haven't. Take a leap of faith into God's arms and run into a life of love with him. It is becoming more evident the example that The Rock Church leadership has portrayed is the way that I want to live. They are truly happy with themselves, they are being fulfilled by fulfilling God's purpose, and they want for nothing. If this does happen before the rapture (BIG IF) I know that God will be whom I rely on. Of course I will be growing my own food...Thankfully my mother taught us girls how to have a garden when we were younger. (I'm jealous of Misha's garden) lol
OK Enough Glum! It was just a thought I had about our world at this time. Get out there and plant a garden, whether it be physically or spiritually, watch what you plant grow as you care for it. It's a great feeling!!
See Ya'll at church!
P.S. These are Zoo Babies of 2008 SO CUTE!!!!

Leap of Faith
I have been talking to my family and a few good friends about the direction my life is taking recently. I have come to this conclusion...I can either leap in faith and know that God will be the ground I land on or walk in the same rut I have been slowly climbing out of. Talking with someone today, they gave me advice of figuring out which direction I want/need to go...I need to work on myself first before I become who I want to be. Funny how I was writing that I want to become this certain type of person in my (secret) journal yesterday. =)
My sister's and my Dad have been such a great help to me in getting myself to start becoming who I truly desire in my heart to be.
I can't wait until the end of the month!!!! My night job ends and I get to go to Tuesday night services and C&C again!!!! YAY!!! I have missed them A LOT.
I am thankful for all the lessons that God has taught me in the past year and a half and is continuing to teach me, but I am SO ready for things to start changing. I feel like they are... you know the good feeling you get when things seem to start working out and going smoother? I finally got it! Last wednesday when I was going to the McKinley Park to go walking. I just got this floaty feeling and the day seemed to get actually get brighter.
So to anyone who is reading this and has been feeling like nothing is going right....I know that you may have heard this a thousand times, but....everything works in the end. God has a purpose for what is happening right now, you may not see it right now, but you will. I am learning the lessons that I didn't want to learn before...they are harder to learn right now then they would have been if I had listened when I was younger =) but they are definitely sticking this time around. lol
You know the way gum sticks to your shoe and you LEARN from then on to look where you step? OK bad example, but you get the picture.
Thanks to everyone who has been there for me and telling me what I need to hear even though it's hard to hear at times.
OK....time for another (almost) midnight stroll. hehehe

Thoughts....
I was talking with my Uncle today and our conversation made my mind start to work overtime.
I have so many things that I want to do. I want to get involved with the community that is why I want to get a degree in Political Science (Government). I also want to get a degree in Psychology because I want to be able to know why people do what they do. So I am thinking of Maybe getting a Masters in Political Science. I really want to make a difference in my community. I am sick and tired of the way society is, I want to change it, as much as I possibly can.
Like Maria said on her blog (http://www.fmlmusack.blogspot.com/) "I would have to say that hard work and perseverance is the key to success." I am so thankful the church family and immediate family that I have. I have needed them so much in the past year and a half. I don't know what I would have done without them.
I just came back from a walk to McKinley Park. It is a beautiful night. It was a nice to be alone with my thoughts out in (city) nature. I think I will go for more "midnight strolls" more often.
Well, I am finally tired.
Happy Birthday to my Friend Emil! He is turning 23 tomorrow.
