in love

I'm so in love with life right now...it's just soooo good. I'm going back to BC in four days, count em- F O U R days, woohoo. It'll be nice to see everyone again, if only for a short time.

Last night our Christian fellowship @ Mohawk went bowling, I haven't enjoyed company like that in a long time. There's a couple people that knew each other before the year started, but for the most part we're a diverse group of people who can come together and have a great time. It's neat how people that in any other setting wouldn't get together, can get together because they have one thing in common, that is Jesus Christ. So cool. After bowling we went to Timmy's and had a good (and hilarious) time getting to know each other, taking pictures and laughing about all sorts of things. There's still an element of awkwardness that we're learning to overcome, but deeper friendships are developing, and I like it! :) I'm waiting for Lauren to post the pictures on facebook, so I can put some up here.

I worked a long 7 1/2 hour day yesterday, I didn't have the greatest time...my boss seems to be angry at me. I think I've been demoted from manager, and she's just avoiding me and not telling me. Very mature. Why do I think I'm no longer p/t CEM? Partly because I haven't had a shift in probably a month, she changes the topic every time I ask, or gives me a feeble excuse, and she's the kind of person who will do something like that and not tell you. I don't know what I've done wrong! I'm not going to read into it and I'm going to take whatever shifts come my way and do the best job I'm capable of, that's all anyone can ask.

I read a great quote today: "A woman's heart should be so lost in her Lord, that a man should have to seek God to get to it" wow. I like that. God's been opening my eyes lately about how I need to live more for Him, less for myself and take some time to refocus. I also need to love and respect myself more and there's a lot of work to be done before I'll be happy with who I am. Lots to learn, lots to work on...but I'm surrounded by great people that will support me in my decisions and on this crazy journey I'm on.

I'm in love with life! :)

    Learning is the best thing in life (also the most stressfull... like those of us still in school and have been having no sleep, but, like you, we'll be happy to go home!!!)

  4. I ws just thinking the same thing as your mom. Maybe something more will come up in the realm of not-just-for-money work. Don't stress about it... think of it as more good things are just around the corner and you need the space to smack into them!
