Well kids, it has been quite an interesting 5 days since graduation. I feel like kind of a loser because lots of other people are continuing to vox a lot after it's not required, and I haven't written anything in at least a week lol. I just have to say though that...everything is somehow amazing right now...I mean, I still don't have a job and to be honest I haven't done a very good job of trying to find one, but there are a couple of possibilities that I really can't do much about unless I get a call back...and really, I need a job for tuition and for gas money but...I'm not worried about it, you know? I think that God gave me this amazing peace somewhere in the last couple of weeks and I have no idea when it happened...I was so worried about so many things the last couple of weeks of MC but now...it's like why did I even bother? Worrying and stressing out just bring you down and don't help you accomplish anything at all. Just remember that next time you start freaking out.

Today was brutal I was behind a computer for 5hrs answering and listening to questions.  They were over the 5 foundmentals of McDonalads and over making frys.  It was so boring.  The main manger she is very nice though.  She came in on her day off to make sure that I was doing good and to give me my stuff, what a good leader. 

So today I went to McDonalds to turn in my application.  She had me take this test and when finshed did a little background check on me and told me that I need to go to orentiaion tonight at 4:30 to 7:00.  I needed a job quick or my dad was going to kick me out.  Now I have a job it might not be as much as I want to make but it is something to start with.  Now I also got to stay cleaned shaved if I don't they will send me home.  Last night I bought a planner to help me out with planning me day ahead and remeber what I need to do for that day.  I am so happy with the oe that I bought so maybee I can finally keep up with it.  Peace out Everybody

I was listening to a song the other day by a band called brand new, and remembering how things used to be. I was pretty messed up back when I first heard this song, its called "The boy who blocked his own shot". I was in a relationship at the time that was starting to fail. It was alot my fault cause it was a relationship that should have never happened, but I thought I needed it. We jumped into it full force and in the end it was one of my greatest regrets. I hurt her and I hurt myself. It still frustraits me to this day some of the things she did, but more than that I pray she can forgive me for hurting her. I was young and stupid, I should have been following God, but instead I wanted to do my own thing. Anyways. This song reminds me alot of what we went through, and at the end it says it best "Im glad that you can forgive only hoping as time goes you can forget. 

Today I was going out filling applications to find a job for the summer.  Today I relaized something that I had never know before that the same person that owns mardels owns hobby lobby.  I went to fill out in application todayfor mardels and it said to go to hobby lobby for the filling out.  Tomorrow I talk to McDonalads to possibly work there.  On thursday I go and talk to bruger king about possibly work there.  I know that God is going to have the right door open for me.  Peace out Everybody

     God is good ALL the time. He is good when I'm happy and have everything. He's good when I'm happy and have nothing(which is usually the case...haha!). I just want to give God my everything! He deserves so much more than I could ever give, but I'm going to do everything in my power to give Him as much as I can. I don't want to just give Him praise when something good happens in my life though. I want to give Him praise ALL the time. After all, He did give me life, protect me from a lot of crap that could've happened, gave me wonderful parents, and brought me to Oklahoma where I would discover my destiny. I'll always have something to give thanks for, but more importantly I'll be eable to give thanks to God just for being who He is. Much Love!

On sunday Moring I heard the Lord tell me that I need to be baptized again that night. When he is in the middle of baptizing people.  I told Barbra that I needed to be up there and that God told me this moring that I needed to be baptized and that I had missed my chance.  I told her that I had been baptized before and that during thattime I wasnt really serious about my faith in the Lord.  I asked her do I need to be baptized again she told me that I can always sign up next time that he does it again.  After that P. Lawerence opens it up to anybody elese and I felt the conviction again so I went up and was Baptized again.  I am so proud that God gives second chances to obey him.

Joshua 1:7 (NIV) 
    Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go.

Today we had our last class with Pastor Lawrence. It was a great class. He talked about the last days, when sons and daughters are prophecying. He prophecied over the students as the class ended, and he encouraged me alot. He said that I carry the spirit of Joshua.

Joshua 1:1-3 (NIV) 
    After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' aide: [2] "Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them--to the Israelites. [3] I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.

What a great opportunity? Can you imagine what Joshua was thinking? Im still learning about Joshua, but I think like me, Joshua needed to hear that God was proud, that he was with him, that he had his back....God is so awesome!!!
