Turn the Page

Sunday morning Pastor Duvall preached on the following passage:

Genesis 41:51 - "And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house. "
41:52 -" And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caued me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction."

It seems Pastor Duvall always has a good word that I need to hear. Joseph turned the page and began his journey forward. That's what I'm doing this year. I'm turning the page and moving forward.

Last week I felt a little overwhelmed with all the things I will be doing and be involved in this year. It caused me to have a little bit of an anxiety attack. It was a small one, thank God. I know thats what it was because I checked my blood pressure and it was ok. I had ONE Anxiety attack years ago and let me tell you it was bad. You really feel like you're having a heart attack but you're not. Sometimes, your mind and your body can get so overwhelmed that it can fall apart. I felt that last week but by Sunday I was okay again.

Bro. Duvall's sermon was just what I needed to hear. We have to let go of past hurts so we can move on to the future. We have to turn the page in our story and move on to another chapter. How do we do that? Hmmm....that's a good question. I think one way is to get our mind under control, learn how to pray more and get into the Word. Then when and if we start looking back one day we will see that it really is God's will that a certain thing didn't come to pass, etc., (and I'm not talking specifics here...just generalities)..You know the old song, "sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers"..

This year my focus will be on the future. What's done in the past is done and over with. (not saying that my past is that bad..I mean, I haven't ever done anything crazy in my life but there have been times when I've been hurt just as much as the next person)

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is that the future is bright and exciting! I'm leaving behind the negative attitude...I'm glad for the Manassah's in my life but now I'm moving on to the Ephraim...the fruitful land. (The latter will be greater). Letting go of the past and moving to the future. What a journey so far and what an even more exciting journey is ahead!

Philippians 3:13 & 14 - "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

Ok, so those are my thoughts for today...scary, huh? lol. Not sure if I said what I really wanted to say but wanted to put this out here because the next few weeks are going to be REALLY busy so not sure when I will be able to do another blog. If anybody actually reads this blog post a comment and let me know.

It's A New Season

Well, it's been a LONG LONG time since I have posted a blog. LOTS of changes have taken place. And, in reality, I just remembered I have this blog site...after looking on Pinterest seeing other blog sites people have. Well, it made me want to look this up and see what I had out there. Uh, the last time I posted was in 2010! and boy was it a negative post! Things have changed and I've learned some lessons along the way. Will have to post more later but the best change is...:

I finally got a full time job! Yay! God has been good to me!

So, It's a new season...it's a new day!

Just wanted to enter a new blog for the year 2012. Will have to post more later.

Unemployed again

Well, the temp job I had since September ended on January 29, 2010. So, I'm unemployed again. And to be honest, I am disgusted. I mean, I knew the job would end but I was so hoping for a few more weeks of employment. I'm disgusted with being unemployed and I'm disgusted with Corporate America. I'm just disgusted.....:) Now, who knows how much longer it will be before I get another job. Another 6-8 months? Oh well, guess that's just the way my life is right now.

So, I have to get out of this disgusted stage I'm in and figure out what I'm going to do. Hmmmm.....marry a millionaire? Not likely to happen. Awwww......Plan B! and C! and D!, etc., Back to the old drawing board....possibly go back to school...and look for another career. The Human Resources well is going dry, I'm afraid. At least at my current level. No degree, know what I mean.

So, what to do....Business degree? Music degree? Go to a trade school (as in Everest College, Kaplan College or online courses) ? hmm....lot's of choices. We'll see what the next few weeks hold. Unemployment here I come again....ugh!

Thoughtful Tuesday

Haven't written a blog in a few weeks. I've been really busy with the new job and everything. My mind is overloaded and it doesn't take much to overload my mind.....:)

Anyway, just wanted to put a blog out here again to let everyone know I'm still here....I'm waiting for some inspiration to write a really good blog but since I don't have any right now I think I'll just post some more pics! Enjoy! These are more pics from my cruise to Alaska. Did I really go? Sometimes it seems like it was a dream.

Next trip? COLORADO!!!! I'm ready to see it again!!! Love COLORADO!!

Work

Well, I'm off to work again. It's friday, Thank God! I'm so glad.

Just an observation....I am very thankful that I have a job again. The only thing I don't like is that a lot of the freedom I had the last 8 months is gone now. I will miss that but I won't miss the not having any money....:)

Thought for the day....God is GOOD!!! Brilliant thought, huh? I'm such an exciting person....:) Wish I had a lot of things to write today but I don't have time. Gotta get out the door and start my 45 minute drive to work....Anyone know of any way I can make good money and not have to travel to work? A good legitimate work from home business that doesn't take ANY out of pocket cost to start? Does that job even exist? Or anybody know of a rich man I could marry? J/K on that one... but I'm serious about the work from home jobs thing.... Any suggestions, make a comment here and let me know...

Everyone have a great day! :) Love you all,
Kimmie

Employed!

Well, after about 8 months I have found a job! Thank you, Lord. It's a temp job until the end of the year but you just never know. It might go further.

I'm in training for two weeks which is a little boring but I would much rather have a lot of training than being just thrown out onto the floor, if you know what I mean. I'll be working in a call center taking benefits open enrollment calls. I'm just glad to have a job.

It's about 6:15 right now and I have to leave soon so this blog won't be long at all....finally, a short blog from me...! It's raining outside so I know traffic is going to be bad so I have to go in a few minutes. I have a 45 minute drive but I've been REALLY early every day this week. I think I'll still make it on time.

Well, just wanted to put this out here that I found a job! Yay!

Love you guys, that is, if any of you are reading this blog.

Love ya,
Kimmie
