Waiting Game

I'm looking for a part time job, Doc has decided that he doesn't want to work on Wednesday mornings anymore, and in doing so, freeing up my already very free schedule even more. Normally I would take the time and enjoy reading or sleeping in. The latter is no longer possible for me, there is a permanent alarm clock in my head that won't let me sleep past 7:15, which is good for when I hit my snooze button enough times (3x) and my alarm function turns itself off. I still can't figure this one out. But the little timer in my head tells me to wake up and always allows me to get to work in time. However, it annoys me to no end when I want to sleep in. Going to sleep early is the only option, take for instance Monday night, I was in bed by 8:30. I'm only 24, I can't be going to bed that early, it seems a bit unorthodox. The former does not pay the bills, though that would be nice.
 
Tomorrow I will finally be picking up my vehicle! Yes and amen! This is the second vehicle that the Lord has provided for me for free! Yes, for free. Sank You Jesus! Faith is something that comes easily for me, recently I found out it's my top spiritual gift, which I think is fantastic! I know the Lord will do what He has promised and that He is capable of everything and anything. I don't doubt He is who He says He is: faithful , true and my provider. I LOVE this verse: "Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen, it gives us assurance about things we cannot see." Hebrews 11:1. I have had so many things spoken over my life and one of those things is constantly in the forefront of my mind. Right now it is just a waiting game, a testing of my patience I suppose. Of my faithfulness. Of my willingness to actually wait and not just take what's good, but wait for the best. The Lord isn't going to tell me something is going to happen, not once, not 8 times, but over and over and over again and not do it. The Lord is not a liar, He's not mean, He doesn't play tricks on our hearts. So I wait and believe that what the Lord has said is true and will happen. Maybe in a few months, maybe in 8 years, I don't know. Lord help me.

Iron Pool

I went hiking at Starved Rock with a group of friends on Sunday, it was fun. Except: I stubbed my toe, twice, tripped up the stairs, broke my flip flop and had to walk on rocks barefoot! LOL, literally, that's all I could do. Why was I wearing flip flops you may ask? Because Starved Rock isn't real hiking, it's a bunch of stairs with random trails, so my shoe apparel was semi appropriate for the occasion. I brought my hiking stick, not because I thought it was necessary, only to look cool. I think I succeeded. :-) There were a few times when we went off the trail, such as in the picture to your right, and GG was very useful. I definitely didn't want to slip into that festering, stagnant iron pool. That would not have been cute.
