My Scarf!

I have been having requests to post pictures of the scarf I made! So here you go! I'm not sure how well you can see the stitching, but hopefully you get the idea. I used a 9.0 needle and stitched a chain of 200. To give you an idea, this scarf is longer than my bed. HaHaHa The picture of me wearing it is doubled up. Enjoy!

.....

Today I walked the dogs. I decided I would like to train them how to walk on a leash. I could only take one at a time because they're big dogs. I loved it! Not only did I feel accomplished about the dogs and teaching them how to act like I'm in charge, not them, I also feel good because I got to walk around the neighborhood twice! I might go out again tonight if it's nice out...Here are some pictures I took when I was in my room......

What Do I Put Here?

Well, I've found myself exploring quite often. I've found two malls, both church campuses, my aunt's house, a place with good gas prices (today it was $2.61 per gallon), Wal-Mart, Target, Starbucks (like at every corner...thank you God!). Oh and the other day Poppy and I went exploring. We didn't mean to, but the navigator lady in his car took him on all these side roads. That was amazing though! We found beautiful land with farms, horses, cows, fields and fields of beauty! I imagined what it would be like if I were to live out there one day....I'm sure it would be a lot of work if I had horses, but you know what...I would love to try it out one day!

A normal day for me so far is as follows: wake up (always a good start I think), eat breakfast, make coffee, have a quiet time with the Lord. Clean the kitchen, my room, and the living room...And sweep all the floors! After that is like a mystery! A few days I went running around the neighborhood, one day I attempted Kelly's DVD "Get Fit While Dancing" only to find that I'm extremely uncordinated. I've gone exploring, took Grammy shopping, visited with Grammy and Poppy, called my family. Tomorrow I think I'll walk the dogs. I'll go to Grammy and Poppy's at some point because I need to print some things for my interview on Tuesday.

I have an interview with Wells Fargo on Tuesday at 9am, which is 10am Florida time. I've been praying that I'll get the job and find out shortly after the interview. I am in faith that God will provide a good job for me. I'm hoping this works out for a number of reasons. If you could pray for me, I would really appreciate it!

What else is new.....Oh! Last night was fun :) I went to Pete's Duelling Piano Bar in downtown Dallas. There was a group of about 10 people, including Kyle, Kelly, and myself. It was a lot of fun! However, it was so loud at points...my ears are still ringing and that was over 24 hours ago.

I went to church today. I thought it was funny because I went all by myself. Everyone else decided to watch church on the internet or they went on Saturday. I really wanted to go, to be able to worship in real life (as opposed to in front of a computer screen..somehow it's just not the same...hmmm...I wonder why?...). I loved it! Fortunately, the time I went Pastor Robert was actually preaching live, so we didn't have to watch him on the screen. They're in the process of raising money to build a mega campus, so I'm finding it very interesting to see how everything is being handled. It's great though. I'm very encouraged. And today's message was about being a good steward, not only here on earth, but in Heaven. You should definitely listen to the message at www.gatewaypeople.com. I know everyone will be effected by it!

Well, I should start heading to bed. I'm not really tired, but I still have to be responsible :)

Texas

Hi everyone!
I'm sure you're probably wondering how things are going out here in Fort Worth. And no, I haven't fallen off the planet - yet. I'm having a wonderful time out here. Mind you, I've only met a handful of people and probably won't remember 99% of their names, but that's okay.

I went with Grammy and Poppy to bring Mom to the airport today. That was pretty sad. It was then when I realized that this is it. It's time to grow up. I'm excited about this. I'm a little bit nervous because there's uncertainties, but I am in faith that the Lord is leading me to where He wants me to be and will teach me a lot more here than where I was back at home. Why? I have no idea. But I do know that when doors open and God is leading us through them, it's best to follow Him :)

Tonight is Seven, their college ministry weekly meeting. I'm very excited to go! I was so blessed last week, so I anticipate tonight will be amazing as well. Hey, wherever God is - is amazing! HaHa

Well, I'm going to google some things now. I'll write later on.

The Creation of a Blanket




I've been working on a blanket! I'm quite excited about it, since I've never been too successful with any kind of craft. I've always given up. But now I'm determined to finish my project and so far I'm quite proud of myself! HaHa

Wells Fargo

I went out this morning to look for a job. The first place I went to was Wells Fargo bank right up the road. I spoke with the manager and she was so excited to meet me. In fact, I made such a good impression, she said if she had an opening in her branch she would hire me on the spot. She gave me her information and I came home to fill out the application. She said she would email the "big people" to put my name on the top of the list.

SO! We'll see. Prayer would be appreciated. Prayer for God's will to be done, for me to get a job where He wants for me.

Thanks!

Your mercy found me, Upon the broken road, And lifted me beyond my failing, Into Your glory, My sin and shame dissolved, And now forever Yours I'll stand. In love never to end, To call You more than Lord, Glorious friend. So I throw my life upon all You are, Cause I know You gave it all for me, And when all else fades, My soul will dance with You, Where the love lasts forever.

"One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to inquire in his temple." Psalm 27:4
