October 2011

Oh, October what a month!

I decided that my job was too horrible to continue doing, as the hours are horrible and I am constantly exhausted and my kids curse at and hit me. Not a good environment for what I'm going through right now. So I began to apply to places and received a few calls for interviews...we'll see what happens.

I also got my new health insurance and hit up the eye doctor (first time since high school), the dentist and the doctor (got my first flu shot ever). I researched diets and figured out what would be best for me with my allergies. I do want to lose weight, but right now, my focus has to be on getting healthy, so finding a healthy diet to fit my restrictions was tricky, but found and will start one in November.

Then there was Abra's wedding! Oh man! I got to see friends and family and watch my best friend marry an amazing and Godly man. Going back home for a visit was a great break, and taught me that I am more at home here now.

I was asked by Jen and Eddie to move in with them after Abra's wedding, so I prayed about it and decided to go for it...Moved in Nov 4th.

I think I am finally settled in here. Still getting used to seeing palm trees everywhere, and no mountain range to the west, but it is beautiful here, and it is home.

I am excited to see what God does with our church and why exactly He has brought me here, but I know He will show me and I will be delighted.

See you next month...

Books this month: Battling Unbelief by John Piper, Counterfeit Gods by Timothy Keller. Both are really good books and I highly recommend them (but they came recommended from my pastor back home, so I knew they would be).

Songs this month: All I Can Say by David Crowder Band, Strong Enough by Matthew West and Courageous by Casting Crowns
