First Two Weeks of Training

Well, it's been two weeks of training at my new job and I'm exhausted. Although it's great to be back in the corporate world, it's harder than I thought it would be to get back into the swing of things. It doesn't help that I have two dogs this week. :O) It's something to get used to as well. God has blessed me beyond my imagination and there are times of amazement at His wonders. He is so faithful to those who wait on Him. It's all in His timing. He has tested me in my patience as well as shown me that if I am faithful and trust in His will, He will reveal a little of what He has in store. I'm waiting for what is in store for me in regard to my new job as well as how He will use me. I have met many new friends, but there are a few that I've really connected with. I have made lifelong friends. I am excited to continue to get to know them. I have a couple of new places to visit. :O) 

I am looking forward to seeing how the Lord uses these friendships. I am faithful He will reveal how I am to honor Him in these relationships. I am so thankful to my family and friends for their support during my transition into the working class. I have not been around much and they have loved me through this and I'm eternally grateful. I love them so much! :O) I am continuing to pray the Lord helps me to retain what I am learning in my new job and that once I have completed training I am able to apply what I've learned and done a fantastic job! I am at this company for a reason and I'm going to do my best to honor the Lord in all I do.

First I am so thankful for my sweet friend Emma for helping me make my blog look so much better! Thank you so much! I love you girl!!!!!!! I am sorry It's been a while since my blog. So much has happened. I have finally landed a job. After 2 1/2 years, I have a job. I will be working at The Berry Company as a Client Account Manager. My first day is the 19th of July! The Lord has been so good and faithful. I would not have made it through this transition in my life without my faith in the Lord. God is so good! 

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 

I did not know what my future held, but I had to hold on to my Lord and trust His plan was much better than my own. I may not understand why it took this long to get a job; however, I have to come to the understanding, it is not for me to know. 

My relationship with the Lord grew during this time. I had to trust in Him, since I had no other choice. My friend Sheila is going through I tough time with chemo for her lung cancer, and she said something tonight that touched me. She was discussing how sick the chemo is making her, she said all she could do was think of her head on the Lamb's lap and He is rubbing her head saying He is with her. How awesome is that. She has not wavered in her faith and during this rough time, she is continuing to trust the Lord will bring her through. She is so strong. I have not right to complain about a single thing. I am healthy and have not had to suffer for anything. Praise the Lord for that! The Lord will bring her through this because of her faith and trust, just He has brought me through this trail. I am truly blessed. I have great friends, who have been beside me through this time in my life and have stepped up to be that support and encouragement I've needed. 
There have been many times where some of my friends did not understand but they were there to listen and be the support I needed. My house church family has been awesome!!!! Although I've struggled to find my place with in the house church, I've learned to trust they are there for me to stand behind me through thick and thin. To my special peeps in my old and new quad.....I love them so much and have been blessed to have women of God who are willing to call me out on things, so deserving, and love on me when I needed it the most. My family has been unbelievable. I can not put into words my love for them nor can I say how much I appreciate the support and love they have shown me. I have the best family. :) I have a new friend in my house. She is a nine year old black lab named Sadie. She has been fun to have around. It's nice to have her here when I come home to. I have had her for a couple of months, and although we had a rough start, I think we've found our grove and she's here to stay. Sorry such a long blog, but much to say! I am thankful to have great friends and family! God is good and is teaching me things each and every day about myself. I am stronger than I thought I was!
