God created

Reading Genesis today.  When I picture God creating the world I picture it like on Star Trek when someone creates a new holodeck program.  I know that is dorky, but it's true and a little comical.  I find it interesting that God created all these things and said it was all good.  Then he made us, humans, male and female in His image in His likeness and you know what He did?  He blessed us. He didn't bless the land He didn't bless the seas, nor the birds, nor the fish, nor the beasts... He chose to bless us.  Why did He choose to bless us when He already saw and knew that we would betray Him.  We would deny Him access to our lives.  We would reprogram our own holodeck program.  It is beyond me.  I mean He even made us rule over the earth and everything in the earth...

He says He has given us ever plant yielding seed and every fruit yielding seed as food and He gave every green plant as food for the birds and beasts. HA! I DON'T have to eat greens!! :) Just kidding.  Well, this is all I have on chapter 1 of Genesis.

Wake Tech

I am starting school! June 21st I start my first college class, Eng 111.  I am so excited to start. The sooner I start the sooner I'll be finished!  My house is showing SEVERE signs of neglect.  I am working 4 or 5 12 hour shifts a week, I just came back from a 3 day trip to the obx (that was a ton of driving!), now I have today to recoup before I go to work Sat, Sun, Mon, and Tues.  Wed, is Daniel's cousin's wedding. Thurs I start school then work Fri, Sat, Sun, and Mon... See? See why my house is crazy??? And Daniel is just as busy with work alone.

Well, he is also looking for a new job. His boss is crazy. One week he is telling him that he can't lose him he's the best employee he's got and then he's writing him up for things that happens hours after Daniel has left work. He ruined Daniel's chances to get a better job in a different department and has now put him back in training with the worst employee he has!  I really hope someone sees Daniel's potential and gives him a job and the respect he deserves as a human being working to support his family.  I can't wait to see Daniel get the respect he deserves from an employer.

I will be starting a fall semester August 15th, 12 credit hours.  When this happens I will be dropping to part time, well, I'll be dropping my Tuesday work days and I will have to pick up one day that week.  Exciting part about all this? I will be buying a macbook pro!!! :) I've wanted a mac for sometime now and since I'll be in school a little over 2 years and I'm going for business and accounting it seems like a good time to get a nice computer that will last.  Next up, finding somewhere to live in Raleigh... I have emailed over 20 different people from craigslist and hotpads, and I haven't had any response it's odd.

So, here's to two degrees in a little over two years! :)

Ch ch ch ch changes!

So, it looks like Daniel and I will be moving to Richmond, VA for his job with CSX. I am beyond excited and really looking to make some big changes! I absolutely love moving! I have decided to apply to VCU for their Financial Analyst program. I am also looking to start the Paleo diet after we've been in Richmond a couple months maybe even join a crossfit gym! :) Good changes! I am PSYCHED! Right now we're just waiting for a timeline. So, I'm going to start packing a little here and there. EEEK! So excited!

Troubled

So, obviously, if anyone has ever paid any attention to this blog, I don't stick to anything. :/ Lately, this fact has troubled me. I tell myself "I'm going to get healthy and eat right" and then 2 hours later I'm eating a fried buffalo chicken sandwich and fries. I would say I have commitment issues, but I don't think that's quite right. I do this same thing to Jesus... I tell Jesus that I'm going to read my Bible every day and follow Him, etc and it only lasts a week at most. Then I get all depressed and give up on everything. I don't know what to do about this. I want to just take it all day by day, but sometimes you need to be prepared ahead of time too. Ok so, here's what I want to happen in my life.

1. I want to have a better, more real and personal relationship with my Jesus.

2. I want everyone to know and see a change in me because of my improved relationship with Him.

3. I want to love my Daniel like Jesus does and I want to be Jesus to him.

4. I want to get healthy (body, skin, hair, nails, etc.) and fit and more comfortable in my skin.

I think that about sums it up... oh wait.. I want to STICK with this. I need accountability. I think that's one of my biggest problems. I don't have anyone right now who's saying, "Hey did you spend time with Jesus today?", or "Hey! You better not be eating cookies!". I need that so bad! If anyone reads this, pray for me, pray for my sweet husband. Pray HARD! I need you.
