Just When You Think You've Got It All Under Control:

BAM!

God throws a curve ball.

I just don't know what to say.

I walked into work on March 6th thinking that all in the world was right and wonderful and normal. Then one of my bosses came in with a very strange "energy" and told me that another one of my bosses would be by to meet with me. I got kinda nervous simply because they never beat around the bush like that- they only have that sorta "energy" when something is wrong. So Ali came in around 11am and asked to speak with me ASAP. I stopped all that I was doing and went out to the patio to find out what was going on. She proceeded to tell me that my shop had been sold to new owners, that I would, as of that evening, be working for new bosses. I took all of this with a grain of salt. I knew that we had been hurting recently and what the shop really needed were owners that could be proactivve and be there almost 24/7. Anyhow- the new couple shows up towards the end of my meeting with Ali and I go straight into a meeting with them. We talked about the future, talked about how excited they were to work there, how stoked I was to show them the "ropes." Blah, blah, blah.

To make a long, frustrating, and painful story short-

They fired me. With no notice. They told customers that I was "no longer with them" before they even let me know that I no longer had a job. I confronted them on that Sunday. And then offered me a job 1/2 the pay rate of what I was making and for 1/4th the hours.

Hell-to-the-no.

Needless to say, I have no idea what to do with my life. I am just sitting around waiting for God to show me what to do.

Oddly enough, I am totally and completely at peace with all of this. I know God isn't surprised by what happened. I know He knows what I need to be doing. I just need to learn that I can't be in control. I HAVE to fully trust in HIM.

Thankfully, one of my old bosses felt terrible about what happened and offered me a job at his insurance agency. Only- its no where close to fulltime. So I think a 2nd job will be coming shortly.

Keep me in your prayers, please. Lord knows I need them.



Other than all these shenanigans with Saxbys, life has been wonderful. I got to see Jake for 10 days in-a-row! We had a blast in San Fran/Aracta. It was a much needed vacay. Things at the church are going really well- I am building a worship team and it is getting better and better every Sunday. I was able to finally send in the rest of my application to FMA. I got an email letting me know they are processing my app. Harvey is a terror- but still, I love him. Peanut is an angry, old, cenile kitty- but she likes me still which, really, at this point is all I can ask for. Shel and Audge's Sweet 16 Party went REALLY well- Jake and I took the roles of "monitor" while Polly and Steve tried to stay out of the picture. We kept an eye on the incredible # of boys that showed up to their party. Their were a couple lingering afterwards that Jake had to give the boot. Sorry- no kisses boys! Haha. I'm on Season 6 of Friends and I started on the Monday after I got fired, had a whole week off and and back in the swing of watching it at an almost constant rate :)


I move in 4 months and 1 week. WOOOOOT!
