Faith

I found this poem about Faith and I liked what it said....
faith is believing.
faith is being strong.
faith is being believable.
faith is believing in what you can become.
faith is believing god and what he can do for you.




As some of you know, I was trying to get a job with a local hospital in the ER doing Administration, which is what my major is. I have an interview on Feb. 4, the following Friday I was contacted by the HR Dept to come in to fill out paper work and take a drug test-which I did this on Monday, February 14. I hated to thought of leaving the kids, but I thought this was going to be a new chapter of me life. Anxiously and nervously I wanted and was under the assumption that the job was mine. Patiently waiting to hear from the HR Dept once my background check was completed. Sadly, I received a letter the first part of this week and I was informed with regrets that I did not get the job. How sad I was to here this, but for whatever reason, if was not meant for me to get it. I am believing that God will open the right door for me. I am trying to have faith, but it is hard. I need to have faith the size of a mustard seed which is oh so small. God help me have that much faith and thy will be done. It has been some time since I have been on the job hunt. Help me pray and believe that God's will be done! It has been nice having some time off, but I am now ready to go back to work after 2 weeks. Happy Friday!!

New Recipes

Today is another cold, windy, and rainy day in Georgia and South Carolina. I am doing somethings around the house and avoiding the outside as much as possible. I am trying out 2 new recipes. One is in the crock-pot; Cheesy Potato Casserole and the other is Grilled Lemon Herb Pork Chops; I wanted to try something new on chops so hopefully this will be good. We have a few projects going on; however, some are completed and some still in progress and in hopes of being completed before the house-warming in a week and a half. sheet rock is being put up in our garage out back and bless the poor guy's heart that is doing it. He has been diligently working on it into the late night hours for the past week or longer.

A March Rainy Day

Today (March 5) has been a nasty, rainy day here in North-east Georgia. However, I am thankful for this rain because we are in great need of it. I am still waiting to hear from the hospital about my start date. This wait is wearing my patience low. I am trying to have faith and wait patiently but it is very hard. Like a verse in Hebrews states, Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. I am enjoying my few weeks of no school, I am officially finished with my first year; it really flew by fast and hoping this next year will too. We have been doing work around the house getting things ready for the housewarming/open house party in a few weeks. I am thinking about re-doing my room. I have had John Deere theme for some time now and getting tired of it. I am thinking about matching my bath-room. I have found a comforter set that matches it. I really like the colors: brick red, onyx black, gray, and marshmellow white.
Only 8 more days until I am another year older, but I still say I am 21 (laughing)! It is hard to believe that I am going to be the BIG 26! Things have really changed over the past 5, 10, and even 15 years. In the past 5+ years, I have began to appreciate life more and not just take the small things for granted. My motto is to live each day to its fullest, because we are not guaranteed tomorrow.
