home alone

So, I'm home alone on a Friday night and I don't know whether to be happy about it or sad. It's not really hard to find me home alone any more. Joey is a Marine in Okinawa, Japan. Jessica is 18, has her license and a lot of friends. Matthew is mad at me and staying with his dad. I don't have a significant other but I do have a lot of friends. I was thinking "should I call someone and find something to do? Should I be happy that after 20 years of almost always having someone with me or needing a ride somewhere, I finally get some time alone. Am I lonely? I have a lot of craft activities and things to do at home, along with the computer and the internet. I guess I am just going to have to learn to navigate through this new phase in my life. If I was working, I would probably be exhausted and lying on the couch half asleep this evening. We did a lot today and have a busy weekend ahead. I should straighten my hair so I will look decent in the morning without much work......I'll let you know how it turns out.

various

Today was just a normal day.........very productive. I cleaned the bathroom, made a good lunch, finished my Bible study early, and worked on my oldest son's scrapbook. It is a two-year project goal for me to get scrapbooks done for all three of my children. I then went to class #2 of a QuickBooks refresher course that I need for one of the jobs that I have interviewed for. Some of the people in the class are not computer literate enough to be in there. It really slows down the class. I checked my e-mail, took care of some business and carried on text conversations and still was able to get everything out of the class that I need. Oh, well, two down and two to go. I now have to go to bed because I have a 6:30am meeting with family ministry people from church. I really look forward to these meetings but I don't like to get out of bed in the morning.

which path?

My phone rang at 8:30 this morning. It was a job interview at an economic development company for an office assistant. I got to the interview and found out it wasn't for that company, but a new company for a woman who is an accomplished gospel singer, artist, teacher and minister. It was a very interesting. Now I am wondering as to what path God will lead me. I am trying my hardest to leave God in control. This is something that I have struggled with in the past. I always want to have all the control of every situation. Now I am trying to change and give it all to God. I am trying not to take control and let God lead my heart to the right path.

job search

Okay, so I had an interview last week that went really good. The woman was talking to me like I already had the job. I was very excited about this because I really felt a good connection. She told me all about this class--QuickBooks--that we could take together. The company needs to be set up onto QuickBooks. I started the class tonight and she didn't show up. I got an e-mail from her that said she has to go out of town (for the business) and the class will be a "good skill to acquire". I don't know if she was talking about for me or for her. I am just refreshing myself on this program and the class was very informative. She said she would get back to me soon. So, what do you think? Do I have a good chance of getting the job?

finances

I have been working on my finances. I've tried this before but I just couldn't develop a plan that I would stick with. I am now trying Crown Financial Ministries and I think this is going to work :) Pray for me that it will.......

The Beginning

So, I've never blogged before but I do have thoughts and comments so I felt I should try it. We'll see.......
