So I should catch you up to speed. About two or three weeks ago on June 11th I was laid off and now on June 30th they asked for me to come back just for a week or two. So we shall see. ( I am still waiting to hear from other job offers if I have a job interview or not)
This has been one of the biggest "did not see that coming" moments ever for me. I have lost a lot of pay check but I have also been given the most awesome opportunities and experiences.
First I have been able to spend my time more efficiently for me. For the last three weeks I stayed up and slept in and was genuinely happy.
Secondly I have been kept busy by the cutest 2 1/2 year old ever. His name is Hudson and I have fallen in love with this little kid. I was baby sitting nights for him while his mom worked. I could not have asked for a better situation while not making money. I really did enjoy it and I hope that my schedule allows me to do so in the future.
Third and lastly I have had a golden opportunity to go and hasten the work with our ward missionaries. Sisters Jackson, Boulis, and Nicholson. These three sisters welcomed me with open arms and really allowed to see what missionary work was really about. The rejection, the stand ups, the tours, the walking, the service projects, the library for emails, and the awesomeness that is serving a full time mission. I honestly could not be more excited for my own mission. I am dying to get a call and get out and serve! I honestly can't be any more excited.
BUT I haven't received a physical yet and boy am I scared that something might actually be wrong with me. I am terrified that there is something actually wrong with my body enough that would disqualify me from serving.
My wisdom teeth are in a matter of weeks and I can only pray that everything will work itself out quickly and correctly.

My new way of looking at this....
There has to be a better way then to think of every little thing all at once.
So this is going to be my challenge. To think how do I get myself to the finish line.
| This is my race the first hill is finish my dental appointments, my second is to get my wisdom teeth out ( see how tall that is!!!!) the third hill is all about my physical and getting all that paperwork done the last hill will be to make sure all paper work is in order and to the right bishop |
So yes essentially these four mountains ( and I am not kidding GIANTS!!!!!) are the only things stopping me from pushing submit. GR. They are in my way. The worse one is getting my wisdom teeth out because I have no insurance to help do it and I have to get rid of all 4.
Just pray for me because starting now I am not stopping till these teeth are out!!
The other hills shouldn't be too much of a problem but let's pray I am right.
A new path
So I had it all planned out. I was finishing my dental, I was calling the endodontist, I was even asking my insurance which doctor to go to. my biggest problem was that I was going to have to wait till July to turn in everything.But then this phone call happened. My mom called and said my old bishop was acting up again and might not be the best bishop for me again. It 's not that I don't like this bishop but he knows the old me and he judged me pretty hard back then. I have also been having very anxious feelings about going to that bishop. So I talked with my mom and she thinks it is a better idea to put my records in my grandmother's ward and do it now where I am. Do you know how exciting that is? I mean the plan was a pretty lengthy wait but now it might not have to be. ALSO my relief society president's husband has offered to pay 10% of my mission funds every month. How crazy is that!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I never in my life expected the support of the ward. I have been able to get a pretty good job and the job actually with 8 more paychecks will have completely paid for my mission by myself but knowing I might be able to use some of the saved money for luggage, fees, clothing or other misc. is such a blessing. I can't believe it honestly!!!
So that's the new path. To finish my dental, call the endodontist today and ask my ensurance which doctor I can use tomorrow. Call the Bishop Sunday and see what happens. Wow this path is sooo much shorter!! Never said easier just shorter.

Here goes Nothing!!!!

I Nephi 17:50-51 - Scripture reference
50 And I said unto them: If God had commanded me to do all things I could do them. If he should command me that I should say unto this water, be thou earth, it should be earth; and if I should say it, it would be done.
51 And now, if the Lord has such great power, and has wrought so many miracles among the children of men, how is it that he cannotinstruct me, that I should build a ship?
To move a mountain,
To make the sea become dry land.
To cross an ocean,
To build a ship upon the sand.
To make the sea become dry land.
To cross an ocean,
To build a ship upon the sand.
Such things I could do
If the Lord should command,
But the Lord has commanded me
If the Lord should command,
But the Lord has commanded me
To love a neighbor,
And to forgive when I am wronged.
To keep a promise,
To have my word become my bond.
And to forgive when I am wronged.
To keep a promise,
To have my word become my bond.
How simple and small
Are the things He has asked,
Are the things He has asked of me.
Are the things He has asked,
Are the things He has asked of me.
Great things and small things,
I can do all things,
All that the Lord may require.
Though the world may assail me,
God will not fail me.
He will remain by my side.
Whether He asks for the great
Or the small.
I can do them all!
I can do all things,
All that the Lord may require.
Though the world may assail me,
God will not fail me.
He will remain by my side.
Whether He asks for the great
Or the small.
I can do them all!
He gave us weakness
And yet He calls us to obey.
And so He teaches
That we must call on Him for strength.
And yet He calls us to obey.
And so He teaches
That we must call on Him for strength.
And such is the love
That the Father extends;
What we pray for in faith, He sends.
That the Father extends;
What we pray for in faith, He sends.
And through the small things
Will come the greatest things of all.
Will come the greatest things of all.
