Hmmm...let's add a journal entry.

Nah, don't quite feel like analyzing my feelings right now. That and the fact that it's kinda hard to type on the HP tablet.�Heh, looks like I'll actually have a short entry for once.�Let's have a couple random lines on what's happening and whatever comes to mind.

Um...Tyler's back in Edmonton for the summer and it looks like we're hanging out tomorrow. OH speaking of which, I ought to check facebook to see if Anita's coming too!

Oh and its been two days since Just-wen called me.

I really should finish that outline for that EE and sending to Ms. Macdonald....and I think I should switch my supervisor to Ms. Ranieri.

I have NO idea how to do the IA. You...this might be nasty.

OH OH! There's gonna be a VGHS episode update tomorrow! Why didn't I discover YouTube webseries earlier? It looks to be exciting, and I love the side pairing with Ted and Ki. The idea for the show is so creative and really its put together so well. Might even show Dad the other webseries, Sync.

Alright, off to bed because I did say I was going to try to wake up earlier tomorrow....and also I gotta make sure Tyler knows where to get off the bus.

Taking Control

The second date that Shawn and I had went pretty much as it did the first time, unfortunately, for a relationship sense in terms.� However the difference this time was that I went away with a clearer understanding of not only who he is and what I am capable of accepting on a personal level but that we truly can only be friends at this time in his life.

He's very much stuck in place with his personal life, not something worth finding fault in, but he's not ready to move on, that much is very clear and to continue pursuing something with him would only prove to be something that he would be pushed into, and that is not my style.

He was married for 16 years.� They have been apart for only 2.� He has a lot of marriage ghosts that either he doesn't know how to get past, or he is just not willing to move forward.� He also has a young son who seems to understand the divorce issue, but is very adament that neither of his parents can date or even talk to someone of the opposite sex.� That is another issue that Shawn needs to not only work through for himself, but he needs to help his son too.

At this time I have to stick to my guns and insist that any further contact be strictly in a friendship manner.� He is a great person, despite the issue's that we dealt with while I was there, I really enjoy our time together.�

He called me this afternoon while I was out and about stating that he wanted to talk about my decision.� By the time that I was able to actually call him back, he was unable to talk as his son was with him.� So tomorrow he is suppose to be calling me, what he has to say is completely unknown, but I will listen to what he has to say and go from there.

Our Virtual Assistant

*Repost*� This lady has been working with us since just before June and she has been totally awesome.... thought I would repost to give her the due Kudo's she deserves!

Although I do not personally endorse businesses nor do I advertise on other's behalf, I have to say that I am making an exception for one lady.

After posting an ad on Craigslist for help with a company that I work with, we were in need of someone to help us in an administrative sense.� Data Entry, Incoming Phones, etc...� Well, we were worried about not having the finances to hire someone to come into the office, thinking that was our only solution.... We were wrong!

After receiving an email in reference to the ad, she introduced herself as a Virtual Assistant and quite capable of handling the tasks needed, but from her home.� Although we needed someone to also help us with the phones, she provided an alternate solution versus having to have someone actually in the office.

So after much discussion and comparison in the amount of money we would actually be saving if this situation worked out, we gave her a chance.... It has now been a total of 2 weeks and things couldn't be going any smoother!

For the data entry part, well, we had hired someone on a temporary basis before putting the ad with the expectation that she would work for us right up to her ending date, that didn't happen, she just stopped coming in and our stuff was backing up big time despite our own attempts to keep it up to date... yeah, that didn't happen.� So when our VA started, despite that we had a lot of backed up work to get caught up on, she didn't charge us anything more, in fact she agreed to work a full weekend so that we could start out fresh that coming Monday.

We sent her a packet of pdf's with client information that needed to be entered into our database, mind you this was what she referred to as 'doc to data', there were over 500 individual pdf forms with client information...� We expected her to take all weekend, not!� By 3:00 pm on Saturday, after working on them a total of approximately 4.5 hours, she was done.� After sending her the residuals of what had come in on our side, we sent to her email in the same pdf format, approximately 75 additional, within 35 minutes she was done!

So I am personally endorsing this lady, awesome awesome awesome!� Not only does she specialize in Office Support and administration for bands and bars (marketing, websites, etc...), but she has over 20 years experience with the servicing side of the Mortgage Industry (our reason for hiring her).

If you would like more info, you can send her an email at virtualhelp4u@live.com, let her know that I sent you.� By the way, I do have permission to disclose her email address.� She does have a business website but would prefer email contact to start with.

Date #2 w/Shawn

After more than agreeing to a 2nd date with Shawn, we will be seeing each other tomorrow evening, however our date isn't until Tuesday. It just so happens that I have a meeting in Phoenix tomorrow at 3pm and it made sense to stay with him the evening instead of driving the 2 hours back only to turn around and drive 2 hours back... Our plans for tomorrow evening include absolutely nothing with the exception of jumping in the pool and whoever gets to the house first gets to make dinner. So pretty much just an evening of relaxing and spending more time getting to know each other.... Oh and on a "well what do you know about that?" note, Colin, the AZ Drummer, it turns out that his house is less than a mile from Shawns! Talk about a small world. Just for the hell of it yesterday, I google mapped both locations, talk about the surprise I had....

Standing in the closet of our income based apartment, face cupped in my hands, tears running down my cheaks, fear flooding my body. Adorned for a wedding in a borrowed dress, $5 shoes, free necklace and earings, Walmart bra, Dollar General underwear, and a tank underneith I've had since high school, about to regift a wedding gift. Me and my seven month pregnant belly, wrapped up in the arms of the man I married, a faithful man, graciously given me by the God we serve, as he tries to console me while I weep because I wonder how God will miraculously meet our needs. Everything around me and on me claims He provides�but, through my own human point of view, also lays claim to my attempt to not spend extravagantly, but to live simply and give generously. I have followed Him in obedience away from the provisions of the world and here I stand, trying to find the hidden provisions of God in my empty, dark cupped hands, trying to understand how this has all resulted.

The only words from my mouth, "I didn't know it was this bad." I didn't know due to wishful thinking, denial, and plain avoidance of the subject. I didn't know that the job my husband was offered would only result in a $100 a month difference in our income when we subracted mine. I didn't know, that when I turned down a promotion my whole world would blow up right in front of my face and my faith would be tested like never before. I didn't know that the testing would last this long, and I didn't know that I would doubt to such a great degree. I constantly ask myself, "Did I make the wrong decision?" Even though so many say no, I wonder, "How could this be right?" Even though it doesn't make sense to me, it must make sense to God, because all along, He did know and He does know.

I not only turned down a promotion, I announced my future resignation and plan that I was going to be a stay-at-home mom. Those decisions made because we didn't crunch the numbers and were wishfully, hopefully thinking that we would make enough money to live our ideal dream. That thinking possible due to denial of the true hard facts that, we can't afford for me to stay home, but we can't afford day-care if I stay at work. We can't afford a home that costs more than we are paying now, and we can't afford the gas that it is costing to commute. �We can't afford to fix the car that is broke down, but we can't afford to buy a new one and we can't afford the impending costs our other car is threatening to throw at us. We can't afford these things, but I am to believe, God can.

God can. This is the claim of the faithful man I married. "God will take care of us. He has never let us down and He never will." Though my mind struggles to agree, my heart knows he is right because there is still hope, as very small glimpses of light reveal themselves. A car offered to us at a very small cost, houses coming available at half the size and half the cost of what we thought we had to have. Baby showers being thrown for us to provide what's necessary for us to provide for this baby. All we can do is continue to live faithfully, obediently, and simply. Not idealistically, not extravagantly, not excessively, but perfectly. Perfectly given what is necessary, graciously. I must keep repeating, God will take care of us. We can do this, one day at a time, one step of faith at a time, in one constant state of prayer.

God is good, nothing is too much for Him. Join me in prayer as I struggle to walk by faith, not by sight.�

Out ahead

I want to briefly write a short note about what the sermon was about Sunday because it ministered to me and I don't want to forget it

Joshua 3

The Israelites were about to finally finally go into the promised land after wandering for 40 years. �Joshua told them to keep their eye on the ark of the covenant
Ark of the covenant = Christ

And to go after it .. pursue Christ

to let the ark of the covenant be out ahead of them so they can see when to turn because they've not been this way before.

To let Jesus be out ahead of us.. don't get out ahead of God and try to make things happen in our own time. �Let God be out ahead of us and keep our eye on Him so we know when to change course because the spiritual place he wants to take us into .. we've never been there before.

I love this message and I don't want to forget it.
