It takes a little time sometime to get your feet back on the ground
So right now I'm in colorado basically starting my life over. For the most part it's going great. I'm getting to help my cousin take care of her baby and I love kids so much. I joined a gym and my cousin keeps me motivated to get up in the morning and go. I got a job at Echostar (Dish Network) and my starting pay was 12$ a hour and now 20 days in and I got a 36 cent raise so I'm making 12.36$ a hour answering phones and talking to people. IT ROCKS! and the people there are nice too. I get to learn more and more everyday and utilize my skills. I'm back on Ritalin to focus and stay on task at work and it's been working great. I've been doing great on tests and I understand what I'm explaining to customers. There's also a lot to do around here. so far I'd like to see Madina Lake on April 12th and Relient K/Mae/Sherwood on April 21st. and there's always Warped Tour in the summer. and I'm also finding myself becoming closer to God as my cousins introduce me to a side of God I've never seen. They've shown me what amazing things he can do and what evil demons are around us everyday. The only downside as of right now is the lack of friends I have out here which makes for a lonely time. Granted my cousin Nikki is the funnest person ever to hang out with it's just that she's got the baby and half the time we can't go anywhere cuz of him. which is understandable but I just can't understand why I can't make friends out here. People here don't jump at the chance to hang out like in Illinois. It makes for me being homesick lately but you know what can I do. I'm not gonna throw away all the good things for one thing that doesn't keep me alive. There's a lot of pain in my heart that I carried here from home and I'm struggling everyday to let go of things that still haunt me. However I'm confident that my purpose is out here.
Right now I'm reminded of the song Takes a Little Time by Amy Grant. If you don't know it I suggest you hear it especially if you're changing your life. I also like the song Show You Love by Jaci Velasquez. but yeah. that's basically how I'm doing. I'm gonna end this entry with a verse.
1 peter 4:7-11
The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self controlled so that you can pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others faithfully administering God's grace in various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.
Each of us has a gift God gave us to spread his word throughout this world. It just takes an open heart to hear what he has planned for us.
