Shout out to BZuni

This post is dedicated to my dear friend Brian. I recently went to a large social event and saw a bunch of people I had not seen in a long time. So when I saw Brian at this shin-dig, before I could even say "how are you?", he BLURTED out "I read your blog." It threw me off-guard, but it then made me laugh and I appreciated it. I felt like he knew so much more of how and what I had been up to, so it really did change the mode of our conversation.

I love social media. So here's to Brian and all you other people who stop periodically and care about know about my life. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know who you are!

10 random things

1. I am completely blessed by the body of Christ in my life. I am blessed by how many people have emailed, called, facebooked, and PRAYED for me through a seemingly difficult transition in my life. I have felt prayer in such a powerful way this month that it makes me thankful for the difficulty.

2. I have about 3-4 random different jobs that are potential possibilities for employment and none of them require flipping a burger or minimum wage! Thank the Lord. I might have to actually choose which job to take.

3. I have the awesome opportunity to mentor a college student who is starting her Senior year. I feel so honored to share life with her this semester. She is so fun and has an awesome heart for the Lord AND somehow I am funnier, more sarcastic and definitely more witty when she is around. Oh and the icing on the cake is she also loves India.

4. I babysat a 2 month old baby today. He basically stole my heart and he fell asleep on me! It was the best little bit of TLC and cuddle time a single like me needed. I really really want one of my own sometime soon or I just hope that God has children as part of his future plans for me. I am just working on the husband part. Or should I say, the Lord is working on the husband part.

5. I randomly took a test today at a temp agency that proved I can do basic arithmetic, spell, edit, and follow directions. Who knew? Supposedly I scored really high. Which is good because if not I would be embarrassed as a graduate level student.

6. I also learned I am a huge fan of temp agencies, specifically Riverside Personnel Services Inc. If you live in the Inland Empire, can do office work, and need a job, I would DEFINITELY recommend you try them out.

7. I have lost about 5 lbs in the last 2 weeks and already feeling so much better about myself.

8. Despite the forced new situation, I find beauty in God's promises, His goodness, and His all around awesomeness, It has kept me more joyful and happy than I have been all year. Funny how God works sometimes.

9. The Pumpkin Spice Late is rockin' my world this week.

10. I secretly like that it got to be 102 degrees in Riverside today.
