I just wanted to pause and express gratitude in this moment.
I have grown sooooooo much during the past few months its unbelievable. Stoosh Granny says that struggles bring us closer to God. I am just grateful that I have a God to be closer to in the first place.
The bible says that His strength is made perfect in our weakness. It also says that all things work together for good for them who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.
And that I know.
In spite of the day-to-day struggle, in spite of me and my decisions and indecision, all things work together for good.
God is faithful and merciful and His blessings are new EVERY morning.
I am currently exploring opportunities and I am grateful to even have openings in this time of scarcity.
The Lord is good and worthy to be praised.
Blessed is the woman who never forgets that.

It Must be the Air
Something fabulously crazy is going on... things just seem to be aligning themselves in my life. I mean, the struggles are imminent, but in this moment, all things just seem ordered.
2007 is off with a bang. Maybe I woke up with invisible rose coloured glasses, but suddenly, the job that was such a bore and going nowhere is not so bad. Yes I could do with more leave and MUCH better health insurance but... just by showing up, I get an increase on already decent salary... that aint so bad afterall eh?
Plus dont ask me how, but I have been able to convince these people in the short time that I have been here, to increase my budget by over 125%!!! I mean, I heard Friday, but it only sank in today.
Things arent really that bad! Yes they expect me to wear suits (yuck), and closed up shoes (louder yuck), and be here at 8:30 day (screaming nasty)... but honestly, right now I can take 28 days live, can call in sick for an additional 13, could request another 7 if some close relative/ loved one kicks the bucket, get 3 for study leave, and another 7 if I have a serious personal emergency. But the best part is that I can actually plan ahead, securing a future for myself and my ma and sisters. I can plan to go to Europe in the summer and will get the leave without question.
Life is truly beautiful!!
I hope I remember I actually wrote a post like this on those days when I dont feel like getting out of bed!
