February Finale

• Another sunny day
• Ciara came by the office today! With all the girls in tow. Layla said she liked me haha. I think she found it funny that I was small? But she asked me how old I was and I said I was the same age as her mom. I told her that her mom and I went to school together and she was shocked. She asked if we were friends, and I said of course! And that made her very happy. I got to meet baby Valentina for the first time. She's a few months old now, still so itty bitty. But she's a chunky nugget with big, squishable cheeks and I love her. It was nice to see Ciara again, and to have fun with everyone
• GALA emailed me. I actually got a response. I have a callback, so to speak! Haha they want to see me again. I'm a finalist for the position. Not hired, but a finalist. It's such a confidence boost, honestly. I truly had given up hope on it and thought I'd have to start job hunting again. But maybe not yet. Maybe God has ideas. And she was super sweet, too. Like, wow. This might actually happen
• Shopping for class on Sunday is complete! Hopefully my ideas end up working out.  Shoutout to Claudia who heard I was going to Michaels and was like nah, take my Joann's coupons. Love her so dang much
• CHARLOTTE GOT INTO GRAD SCHOOL! As if there was any doubt but like I'M SO THRILLED FOR HER IT'S WHAT SHE DESERVES MY WONDERFUL BEST FRANNN
• February is over. I made it. I'm alive. Like, not just hey I completed this challenge. But hey, God granted me life and I didn't squander it. I didn't let my demons get the best of me. I actually came out of the dark hole relatively okay. It's not like the clock strikes midnight and March means no more depression. BUT it means that around now is when my body usually starts to wake up again and I get a better hold of my emotions and plans and such. And, God willing, I get to keep moving forward

It's Not Easy Being Green.

Especially when you have to go to church.

Nonetheless. GREEN!

Reason 176: Possibilities. So I went to church with Karla and, as usual, Covenant Life Church managed to touch me with an absolutely beautiful and powerful message. The main idea being that, through God, all things are possible. How God loves us so much, that, without any regrets, He gave up His everything because of His love for us. And what the Father is to the Son, He is to us. And how He will never make us suffer through anything we cannot endure. He won't take away all the pain, but it will never be something that we are incapable of facing. And, in the end, the reason we suffer through it is because He knows that it will be a great blessing in the end. It is for us and for our benefit. After all, He knows what's best for us all. Considering the insanity that is the human life, it's a very interesting way to look at something usually so negative.

Every time I go to this church, I walk away wishing I could share the blessing with someone. And it looks like a certain someone might be willing to try :)

 

One day can we just watch all of these? They're so good, I promise!
