OOPs

At the bottom I meant that I don't get the 27,000!

Jeremiah 29:11-13

This is my life verse. I know it is probably the most typical. I use it to remind myself that God is in control, I am not and that there is no point in trying to be. How could I have been so stupid? I use my life verse in all circumstances that I face. I am the one in my family that is the most content and able to rely on God in whatever my family faces. Except in this one area: job searching. As I continued to have doors closed I was the content one. I told myself that God is in control. But deep down I was letting where I wanted to work overshadow what God was putting in place for me. I have only interviewed at 2 places b/c of the approximately 9 grand that I would be receiving at the end of each year for three years to cover my tuition. I would justify it by saying that God doesn't want me to spend my whole life being in debt paying off school loans. I have come to realize that maybe God would rather me work else where to strengthen me in being a better steward with what he has given me and at the same time work in an area of nursing that he had given me a desire and still is that desire before I went back to school. I have realized this and begin to look at other opportunities. I now have an interview for Labor & delivery at the last place on earth that I think I would want to work. But it is in the area of my passion without getting tuition reimbursement, but I remind myself of Jeremiah 29:11 and I know God is in control and will provide for my family. I also know that in everything God works for the good even if it means I get that 27, 000 immediately to pay off my loans. But being a good steward I could still get those paid off in the same amount of time!!

For a Dear friend...

I have a precious friend who will be having her 2nd child in November and her 1st just turned 1. Along with others, I am trying to help win her a double stroller. If you would help out that would be great. just follow these instructions:
1. Go here http://reviews.lalagirl.org/?p=85#comment-747
2. At the bottom leave a comment with at least a valid email address if you don't blog.
3. If you win, give me the stroller.
4. That's it.
5. Easy enough, right?

Thanks for reading!
