Yay...a new post!

I haven't posted since the beginning of last month--is there a blogger law against that?? The last month has been a crazy one! With the holidays sneaking up on us, let me start out by saying MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone. I truly hope that everyone has a great holiday and remember why Christmas even exists. Luke chapter 2 should help you out with that.
It has been a great year--Justin got a new job, I got a new car, my mother-in-law got engaged and is due to get married in a week and a half, we joined an awesome Sunday School class, I could go on and on! We are truly blessed!
The past couple of months have been kind of trying. Last month I lost my job. Losing my job has really humbled me. It's one of those things where I thought "That will never happen to me" blah, blah, blah. God knows how to put me in my place, that's for sure. It was a week before Thanksgiving, we needed to buy Christmas presents, we needed to pay rent, oh no. What a scary time. The day after I lost my job, my boss from Blockbuster let me go back there part time until I found something more permanent--what a blessing! Although, I definitely remember why I quit there in the first place...:) Anyway...I have fought and fought to get a job at Arvest and I found out on Thursday (after three interviews and two tests) that I got the job! Praise the Lord!

Anyways, I promise that I didn't start this post to talk about how tough the last month has been. What I really want to point out is that even in tough times, there are still good ones. Don't get me wrong, I have been super stressed but I know who is in control of my life and I have great joy because of that. I have enjoyed fun times with friends and family in the past month and have learned that sitting at home with my husband and puppy can definitely make for some great memories! I have also learned that I am not above anyone or anything, I can lose my job, just like anyone else can. I also have learned that God's word can be more comforting than a lot of people can. God is also teaching me to learn from my own mistakes such as...when it's someone elses fight, stay out of it and pay attention to detail...

Thanks for reading!
