New things and Stuff.

I've been busy Busy with work and life-- life is the bits in between work!-- I will have worked six days this week... it is awesome. My Kohl's is starting to look more like a store! Exciting stuff. It's kinda funny because we already have people trying to come in a shop, but we have to tell them that we are not open yet... I've over heard so many associates talking with people and the people cannot seem to grasp the fact that the store is Not Open, and all the people they see are just workers....

Sometimes I question if I'm still in my right mind... those times where I catch myself singing along to Milly or Beber on the radio.... :P

Water! I'm so thankful for running water! My water got turned off by mistake for TWO DAYS. And now I have water again... so it makes me happy.

I love life and God is good.
This is my update for now!

Wind in the trees and coffee....

....are very beautiful things if life.
I love the weather! I think it has finally taken a turn for the cold and it is starting to feel like fall. Which is one of the most beautiful seasons there is.
The wind is all around making wonderful music in the trees and coffee suddenly tastes 1,000x better than awesome....

Work at Kohl's is going well, and our grand opening is getting closer...
I'm starting the search again for another job so that I can pay the bills and start saving up for life.
Also I'm in the process of setting up an Etsy store to sell my art! I'm thinking about cards with my original artwork, prints, and anything and everything else!
How great would it be to do something I love AND have a supplementary income?? Quite to my liking. I will be sure and add a link to my store when I get it up and running!

So life continues on, each day being followed by the next. Each revealing new ways and needs to trust God. and yeah. Minutes and hours drift by, it is a struggle to trust God with everything that I need to. Somehow it seems to be such a tempting offer to try and handle my problems myself.... even though I know that nothing good will come from it... so moment my moment I'm trying to lay them all down, hand it all over, and trust with my life. Not always the most fun, but I'm learning. Thank God for He great mercy and Love and PATIENCE! (goodness, I need some of that!)

Ups Downs and putting up shelves.

This is one of those blogs... the blogs where I need to think and try to process...
So much has been happening and not much has made it out of my heart and into the space beyond.

There is happy news: Nathaniel and I are engaged. God has done beautiful things in our lives individually, and together we have been able to see more of Him and run after Him harder. Together. This is such a blessing to my life, that I don't even have words to make it fully known...

it has not been an easy journey, for anyone involved.
but it is worth it.

Shelves. I have put up so many shelves it is almost crazy.
I'm working at a new Kohl's and helped put everything together. It has been a strangely insightful process that has explained to me much of how people work and how I work.
It always gives me another understanding for what PROCESS can really look like.
I'm talking process: day by day moving one foot in front of the other.
Trusting in the One leading you, not understanding all the things that you are about to do, but going in to learn. So I have been going into learn.

I can do nothing on my own. I am living in total reliance on God. I freak out if I start thinking about how many different ways I could fail in this life, today for that matter. But I know God is with me. So I will move forward according to what I hear and what I know to be true.

Each day is a new journey that can only be taken one step at a time. But with God there is hope. Where there is hope, there is the ability to have faith and walk forward.
With God I have hope.
He is leading me home.
Even if the way home is walking through the valley of Baca.
I will follow Him.
