well today has been interesting.....I got a call a couple hours ago to come in for a job interview with a dr. from church and it went well. It seemed like in a way they were trying to get to know me better which I don't mind. It's a job as a medical assistant/receptionist :) which would be busy and an adjustment. But It would be good for me to learn something new.....
Yesterday was an all around amazing day....Church has been really good lately....but let me explain quickly....last week on Sunday Pastor Rob's dad died suddenly....of a heart attack so we have some of the former pastor's taking over for him this week.....and yesterday a preacher preached about defining moments....and my friend Serenity was there and she accepted Christ it was sooo awesome and something I have been hoping for for quite a while :) And if that didn't make me happy enough I checked my cell phone and there was a text from Chris from his conference in SC and he told me his friends Alan and his Fiancee Dail accepted Christ at the conference :) I felt triply happy :) I look forward to seeing the positive changes in these three ppl's lives. Alan and Dail have been living together for a few years Chris said and they plan to get married this year I think.
Serenity came to church with me last night and she went up for healing tho I am not sure what specifically. But she just needs prayer. she is a single mom who has custody of her daughter and is trying to get her son out of the foster system. Which is a big huge prayer request right now....She has a court case coming up on Feb. 5th.....She said the foster system wants her to sign over her rights....and that must feel like a slap in the face to a mother.....
More exciting stuff.....Amy, mom, Angela and I were in the kitchen today and Angela was like I might as well ask you while you are both here.....Angela asked amy and I to be bridesmaids :) I was beginning to wonder if she would ask..... :) I am excited :)

I truly look forward to and embrace all the joys and challenges that 2009 will hold personally and in Chris and I's relationship. I cannot wait to see what this year will hold. I am excited and optimistic :) I can already think of a few things that are exciting about 2009....My sister Angela's wedding (I think they are thinking August now), Chris and I's first dating anniv. on Aug 25th), our first Valentine's day, and of course anytime that Chris and I get to spend together this year :) and of course seeing how God will work thru Chris and I's relationship and also thru Chris and I's relationship and the ways that God works in my parents when I am praying.
2009 will be a great year!

I have some happy news! I put in an application last week at a nursing home called Valley View Nursing and Rehab and the day after they called me and set up an interview for that Friday. I did the interview and it went very well and yesterday they called and I got the job! I am so happy that I finally have a full time job. Though I won't lie it will probably be a big adjustment for me. I will be working 1st shift 6:45 am to 3:15 pm. So today I went and got the drug test taken and I should hear back in 3-4 days and then I have to do an 1-2 day orientation. So next Tuesday is my last day at my current job which I am so happy about! :)

my work situation is not all that good (I might not have any work next week cause of low hours) so, it would really help if I had my test results that day (tomorrow)...I need wisdom in what to do about my work situation too.....
thanks in advance,

I remember all the times
The good times and the bad (some good and some are bad)
I'm still holding on to you
Some days I wanna run
And times I come undone
But I still belong to you
That’s how I know that
Chorus:
When I feel like caving in
My heart my soul is wearing thin
I just want to give up
Nothing seems at all to add up
Can you hear me Lord?
My face is down upon the floor
Its then you whisper in my ear
Be still and know I'm here
I see a side of you my friend
The same struggles that I have
My heart goes out to you
I know its hard to feel alone
And this world's so unforgiving
I've been feeling that way too
But I can tell you
Chorus:
Is that you?
Is this me
It's sometimes hard to believe that
I am not alone
Its not just you
And not just me
We all need to believe that
We are not alone
Then cool is just how far we have to fall
I am not immune, I only want to be loved
But I feel safe behind the firewall
Can I lose my need to impress?
If you want the truth, I need to confess
I'm not alright
I'm broken inside, broken inside
And all I go through
It leads me to You, leads me to You
Burn away the pride, bring me to my weakness
Until everything I hide behind is gone
And when I'm open wide with nothing left to cling to
Only You are there to lead me on
Cause honestly, I'm not that strong
And I move, and I move, and I move
Closer to You
I'm not alright, that's why I need You
- Location:home
I'm following you to the other side
There's nothing that can change my mind
You're all I need
You're the only tie that binds my heart
Away from you I'm falling apart
We need to be closer than we are
You're all I need
So what can I do to get closer?
I know there is more my heart can bear
I give you control 'cause I need you
To take me there
Like a bird flying southI'm seeking you out
And there's no rope that can tie me down
I'm running home, I'm a slave set free
You're all I need
I am waiting
Draw me closer
I am waiting
Make me stronger
I am waiting
Draw me closer
So what can I do to get closer?
I know there is more my heart can bear
I give you control 'cause I need you
To take me there
So what can I do to get closer?
I know there is more my heart can bear
I give you control 'cause I need you
To take me there
I am waiting
Draw me closer
