.Wal-Mart Views.

Alright....It's time to revamp the blog! Obviously my blog is no longer driven by motivation to write daily. But I'm determined to find something that will be new and interesting to the blog. Since I'm into lists, here are some ideas and what each area would be like...

the daily thoughts ::
What a wonderful day! So today I got a call from the man in charge of hiring people for enterprise car rentals. Though the internship is in the Tri-Cities, he is out of Renton. So, he asked me to come in for an interview on Thursday! Such a blessing! I amazes me that every time I give up something to God, everything seems to fall into place. Whereas I was stressed a bout finding a summer job, ect, when I gave it up, I got my job back at Maurices for the summer and I get a call for an interview for a paid internship! God is good!


I volunteered at Treehouse and didn't have much to do. So I was productive and got a lot of homework done!

god thoughts ::
Cadre tonight (or small group) with my city church girls! I was reminded tonight that risks God has us take can be small or they can be big. God's risk for me next year is not setting myself a plan of action for activities I'll be involved in. I know God has spoken to me about it being a time of setting priorities straight - getting involved in church, creating community, and working. I'm really excited for this. It has been a challenge to turn down several things I enjoy doing, but I know God has bigger plans then what I can see or Ir I were to limit it. 

online feature of the day ::

A craigslist spot out in the antique section in Eastside Seattle! A beautiful, large, antique Viennese sideboard/hutch from the 1800's. Granite serving counter. Many shelves inside and outside there is a lion's head carved on each side. There is an additional pull-out shelf below the granite counter for serving. This piece really makes a statement! Good condition. Selling below market value - priced for a quick sale.

funny observation ::
So today while volunteering at Treehouse, the lady who sits at the reception desk with my stated "Today was the 2nd time I've ever been to Wal-mart before. Wow, they have everything!" HAHA

This is a really funny observation to me, considering Wal-mart has been such a huge part of my life. Yup, grew up shopping at Wally world. If you need to get groceries, or it's pay day... you go to Wal-mart. I meen I live in the Tri-Cities where there are 3 Wal-marts!

 And to think people in Seattle hardly EVER shop there. Missing out on a huge part of their growing up years and a shopping experience, that's for sure.

Maybe I'll at first start trying each area out. I'm interested in using another blog site even to mix it up. Let me know if you have any ideas for one!

goodnight!

.each of us is but a breath.

A crazy day indeed! It is 2 am and I'm blogging then headed back from the Library Lab to go to bed! YAY! Class in 6 hours! Let's see if I can get some sleep in there.

Today was a good day though. It was beautiful out! Sun was shining and made the appearance of it being warm (when you were looking out the window). Though actually step outside and it didn't beat 40 degrees today. But that's ok. I love the sunshine.

After classes today I went to coffee with Alyssa! We talked about life and just caught up. It was greatly needed and I hope we can continue to build up our friendship since it seems it's been neglected for some time now!

This evening I had Cadre (small group) in Seattle. Kelly (my leader) picked me up since she lives in Bothel and we drove together, picking up several others along the way. She is really sweet. She is so sincere and her faith inspires me to want to grow more. She lives out her faith daily at work and with those she comes in contact with. that is really important to me.

Cadre was fantastic! It's always about what God is doing in our lives. The group of ladies I'm with are incredible. Everyone owns their faith and each one inspires me. We talked a lot about leaving what is comfortable and good to go through another door opened up by God. Though we may not exactly know why God is moving us from something so amazing to the unknown, it takes being uncomfortable for a while and trusting God. I think that really speaks to my life right now.

The rest of the day was filled in with homework, studying, and prepping for debate.
More to the week ahead of us! Keep pushing through!

I think this passage is Beautiful! (Psalm 39:4-7)

⁴ “Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be.
      Remind me that my days are numbered—
      how fleeting my life is.
 ⁵ You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand.
      My entire lifetime is just a moment to you;
      at best, each of us is but a breath.”
                         Interlude
 ⁶ We are merely moving shadows,
      and all our busy rushing ends in nothing.
   We heap up wealth,
      not knowing who will spend it.
 ⁷ And so, Lord, where do I put my hope?
      My only hope is in you.

Goodnight!
