AUGUST 23

Man time flies by sooo fast!! I was housitting for about a week and a half and returned yesterdayor the day before as well as my parents and sister went to Florida for 2 weeks and so I was semi hous sitting for them as well. My brother is here too but works during the day. Anyways that is too long of a story in itself so I will not bother with it. I went out for supper with a friend tonight and that was fun, I do not get to talk with her very often other than to sya hey how is your day/week I am praying for you kind of deal. So it was nice to have adrink and supper with her. I am still waiting to hear back from costco and really nervous because if I do not get either of the positions I applied for what am I going to do? I honestly do not know!! If you think about it please pray for me in that I will either get this job or if not that God will direct me in the right way to go from here. I am writing this way to late and so therefore can not think very well so I am not going to write anythign else because I must go to bed! Good night all!!

Is it wrong to give up on your friends? It makes me really sad to but lately I have had about 3 people that I just want to give up on because, I have been hurt by them or I am just plain frustrated with them. They all are just not very reliable and I feel that I can not trust them with things I say or take them at their word because they always fall back on it. For me that is terribly hurtful in that one of my love languages is time and when people say that they will go somewhere or do somethig with me or for me then I trust that they will follow through with that. And when it falls through time and time again, that is when I just want to give up on them!! I am just confused by what I should do if anything. Well, I no longer really email or call them now because it is soooo hard to have a one way friendship, when I do not get return emails or phone calls. I do not think that I am a needy friend but in order to be friends I think that you do need to spend SOME time together even if it is just to say hi and see how things are going. I try and do that but when I get no answer I try a few more times then end up stopping because like I said it to hard to have a one way friendship! I gues from now on I should just focus on the friends that do care about either spending time with me or at least staying in contact by emailing or calling or trying to arrange coffee or time together. I also understand that schedules can be busy, but I also feel strongly about making time and spending time with friends. That is all my venting for tonight.

Work is going well for me, I have to put in cover letters for permenant positions at Costco so I hope that I get what I want if not I do not really know what I will do. I have thought many times about moving to Calgary but am not to sure how well that will go over as I would find it TERRIBLY hard to step away from the church. I have done so much and poued so much of my life into it, I will be really sad to have to leave it. Though I do know that someday I will have to leave it. Life in general seems to get busier and busier as I get older and that is hard on my whole being, heart, mind, soul. Yet God sees me through and the times that I get stressed out the most it is in that time that He ALWAYS comes to my rescue in some way shape or form! I am sooo glad that I am a Christian, as cliche as that sounds I am truly thankful for GOD!!signing off for another day.....

AUGUST 7

Sorry it has been so long but I have FINALLY just been able to get back into my computer. We had issues with SHAW but it is all okay now. This long weekend was sooo refreshing for me. I travelled to Calgary on Friday and was able to spend friday and saturday with my most bestest friend in the whole world and we had such a great time. We got to talk and laugh and cry and just hang out it was the best. Then on saturday evening I got to talk to a friend of mine that I haven't actually been able to sit and talk to just mostly say hi how are ya in passing, so it was really good to connect with her and she is just someone really dear to my heart right now. Then sunday morning I went to Red Deer and spent time with one of my other good friends and her husband and her sister. Then I came home monday evening and I have to go back to work and the real world tomorrow =Þ I get to house sit for the next couple of weeks starting the 11th so that will be fun too. Not much else to report at this time, I have been keeping busy and loving life and where I am at. I am still hoping that I can go to Nicaragua at the end of october but have yet to find out what is happening from Compassions end of things. I am hoping that I can do the Africa thing in March as well but that is a ways off for now and I am not to worried about it yet.
