ITS BEEN WAY TOO LONG

Wow, it certainly has been too long. My apologies to those whom I miss, and those who miss me.
The past couple of months have been filled with catching up with friends, enjoying myself and home, and looking for a job. Part of my job search was getting certified and I can say that I am officially a licensed Cosmetologist now. So, that happened on Friday, my plan for this week is to contact all the places I have applied at and let them know where I stand now.
It is beginning to get hard to not have a job, and not know how long it will take to get one. My every intention is to get one I know I will enjoy, and it's just what I will do.
As for today, my pastor had a great analogy. He was talking about how we should take joy in the suffering we endure. The suffering that God inflicts to make us better. And how we should trust Him like we do a doctor. We put so much faith in doctors these days, we allow them to hurt us and cut us and open us up. All of this is so they can fix us. It's just the same with God. Amazing to me, I never looked at it that way before.
As for you guys, I really do miss you all and one day will be back to see you!

Rachel, I miss you so much! Heath comes home this week and I have been thinking about the past 6 months and how you helped me make it through the toughest part. What fun times! I just watched the video we made for Heath, thanks for helping me. We made me laugh and cry.

Good luck finding a job and congrats, professional!

This blog looks good! We take some pretty nice pictures. How can we check out your xanga account?
