Well, it has been a while since I have written anything of relevance...not just on xanga (although I have ignored xanga for many months) but anywhere really. Let's see...what is happening in my life. Well, I have been without a job for over 5 months now. That makes me sound very lazy. To be fair i have done a lot of work at the camp. For 3 or 4 months I did a lot of work there. I worked all of the guest groups that came in, I cleaned (a lot), I took care of the reptiles (also a lot), I worked at recruiting fairs for staff, I organized activities and helped gather other staff to fill needs. I did get paid a little for the work. But to be honest I would have done it for nothing...and by the end I asked not to be paid anymore. I love it there. It makes me happy everytime I am there. I mean...not only does it feel nice to help out...but several of my closest friends live there....right there on the property even for a few of them :)
Right now I am in mad search of a job. My problem is that I had a little incident with my car (I hit a tree that had fallen across the road during a storm) and now my search is narrowed down to closer to home simply because I don't have the money right now to pay mu insurance deductible to get my car fixed and I don't feel good about driving it distances. This limits me. There are not many jobs around Court House...especially in the field of counseling. At this point, I would take just about anything.
But I have been ok. This is the amazing part. In the past, I would not have been ok with this. I would have been freaking out...stressed to high heaven....about to yank my hair out over the financial strain of it all. But I am ok. I really believe God has a plan and He has His own time and He will help whatever to happen when it is supposed to happen. Of course I am getting down to the wire financially. I had to ask for help with money...something that I have never had to do before. My Dad of course jumped to help me out which is great. I appreciate it greatly....even though it was so hard for me to ask. The miracle is that I have been ok for 6 months without an income. How that worked out I will never know...but it did. Anyways, any prayers would be a wonderful help.
I hope everyone out there in the xanga world is doing ok.
