Man you don't realize just how much the internet means to you until you don't have it. Out internet has been down for a while now I'm up and running again and back in action.
Got great news.......
I GOT A NEW JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The hiring process took just under a month but I got through it. I prayed about it, I claimed it and I got it! I am not working within the transportation industry. I'm an operations coordinator for the railroad. It keeps me busy and I don't have time to goof off at work, which is awesome. I can now truly say I put in a good day's work! I work 12 hour shifts. My days off rotate because I work 3 on and 3 off so whatever three days I fall on...that's how it works. It's so nice. My last day at Everest was last Friday. It was bitter sweet. It was hard saying goodbye to a lot of people...but I felt like I had a huge burden lifted when I left that place. The kicker is...my supervisor is in Lebanon for 2 weeks so she doesn't know that I'm gone yet. She won't find out until July 7th when she returns to work...lol.
Talked to Stacy the other day. She and Val are getting pretty close. I'm happy to hear that. At least she has an outlet and someone to talk to that will relate to her when she needs someone there. They're going to the river next week. Our church is having a retreat for married couples in August in Palm Desert...I am so excited. It falls on my days off so Eddie and I are going to go. That will be such a blessed time and it allows us to spend some time and get better acquainted with more married couples in the church. I've met a lot of new people at OCC that have truly blessed my live. I've learned that I have to surround myself with positive things and those with a like minded attitude about God so that I can have the peace of mind and serenity that God desires us all to have. Not saying that I am going to disregard any of my friends in any way shape or form. I am just less likely to involve myself in certain activities that cause me to compromise my values.
Sometimes I feel like a hypocrite because I've done a lot of dirt in my days and now that I have fully given my life to God (like I should have done years ago) I don't associate with those things anymore. I dunno I know that's just the devil getting to me. We'll just let things run its course.
