So our kitchen has now been completely gutted, all the cabinets have been thrown away, the pantry left...There's now a new tile floor and wood planked ceiling, pretty, decorative lights, a new window and new paint. The plumbing has been moved all around too.
We have to put the cabinets in tonight, but the appliances are all hooked up! Mom, Dad and I have been working all day trying to finish the craziness. I am so tired, I don't even know how to explain it. When it's all put together, I'll post some pictures here! Until then...

Hope
I received a Master Card yesterday from DBCC. I read all about it, and hopefully they'll put my grant money on it! I haven't been approved yet, but the lady I spoke with the other day said money is on it's way. I hope it's true!
I'm starting my new job at Lowe's on Monday. I'm excited to finally be able to make some money again. However, I'm totally not looking forward to learning yet another job. I wish I didn't have to work. If I could, I would love to just go to school full time with all my bills still being paid, or be married and be a stay at home mom. That's my ultimate goal! If I could do that right now, you'd better believe I'd take it in a heartbeat!
You know what.....I would really love to go on vacation. Not just a vacation....I want to go on either 1) A cruise at least a week long, or 2) Go to an exotic island and stay in a resort for at least a week. I love the water. I think I'm made for an island or something. HAHAHAHA

Hello World
You know what I find interesting? I find it interesting and encouraging when you go to a weekly church meeting (in this case it was youth/singles night) and you leave feeling totally refreshed. It's not like I was doing poorly before I went, but when I left it was just like...WOW! God is so good!
Worship was great too. Yes, the musicians are talented, but when it comes to singing the word of God, the truth of His nature and just HOW GOOD He is...it's amazing! Who am I? Who am I to be able to call God my 1) Creator, and 2) My Savior? That in itself is a miracle. It shows the kindness of God to call me His child.
This morning in my quiet time, I was reading in Ephesians. There was a section of scripture that just hit me. I think I've just read past it before, not really meditating on it or inquiring to the Lord what it really meant. Let me share it with you:
Ephesians 1:7-10
"In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth."
I often dwell upon the fact that I've been predestined and look back at what the Lord saved me from. However, today when I read "in all wisdom and insight," I thought back to before time. Before time God saw in His wisdom and insight, how I would sin against Him. He saw every single time I would sin, every single time I would be tempted to sin, every single time I would have a bad thought...But God saw me in His wisdom and insight...and granted me the forgiveness of my trespasses (sin), according to the riches of His grace, which He LAVISHED upon us...
What a kind, loving, great God!
