It's Been Awhile...

Wow I haven't a regular post for a while.  Sorry about that.  It's not that I've been super busy or anything just had a major case of laziness the last few weeks.  So here's a quick update of what's been going on.  I had my court hearing for the speeding ticket I got back in May and let me tell you the Lord worked everything out.  I'm still amazed by the Judge's ruling, probably always will be.  The Judge dismissed the fine for not having insurance because I have insurance now and she deferred my speeding ticket so it will not being going on my record as long as I don't get pulled over in the next six months.  Praise the Lord for that!

Next, I have a job at Wendy's.  I've been working for Wendy's since the end of June.  I'll admit that at times I really, really hate my job just as the saying goes it isn't a job unless you hate it.  But I've had this great financial peace since I got my first paycheck that I have never felt in all my years working at other jobs.  It feels like even though I hate my job at times it's worth it because I'm able to support myself.  I'm so grateful that God has provided this job and the money it gives me.  I'm so grateful that God has had His hand in my scheduling that I've been able to go to church and the women's Bible study.  God is so good!

Speaking of the women's Bible study, I should tell you a bit about that.  When the Bible study first started I was very apprehensive about it because everyone who signed up for was much older than me.  So being the youngest person I was afraid that I wouldn't really fit in or relate to the other women.  But God showed me something that took away my fears.  He showed me that even though I am the youngest woman there I am learning more than ever have in a Bible study with people my age.  I know I probably sound a bit crazy but it's true.  When I was involved in Bible studies with people my own age I focused more on making friends and making a good impression than studying and learning God's word.  With this Bible study I've learned so much in the three weeks since it has started.  I've gotten to know some of the ladies and they all love having me there, even though I don't talk much because I'm so busy listening and absorbing everything they're saying.  I love the women's Bible study and I love the church I am going to.  Admitting that after everything that's happened with the churches I've gone to in the past was difficult.  But now I know that Calvary Chapel Yelm is where God wants me.

Well I think that's about it on my end.  I'll get to posting more often because there have been quiet a few things on my mind lately that have needed to come off of it.  So I leave you with this photo of, well, two of my favorite things...

Happy Independence Day!

And thank you to all who serve our country and make Independence Day a possibility every year.  Stay safe out there everyone and have a blessed day with friends and family!
