It has been a supremely busy week! Saturday, I was at church for ten hours helping out with ribs (church fundraiser for the mission trip). Sadly though, I had to leave early, but it was still super fun. :) It was a great chance to get to know more people from our church family, and it was just all around good fun.
Monday, I called one of the big property management people in Weatherford to see if she had any one bedroom apartments open...The next day she had 3 places in and AWESOME location for me to look at. As I was hanging out around home that morning I ALSO got a call from Homeland and got offered a job. Yay! So...on the drive to Weatherford, I was just praying that God would work it all out, that I could get a job that where I could be a good a good employee and shine the Light of Jesus. It was also my prayer that I could find a great place to live, where I would feel safe and be happy all the same.
We got there...The agent was running late, so she told me how to get in the first apartment, and let us look at the place before she got there...It was a great apartment, but I didn't really love it. Apartment 2--the old tenants had just moved out and it hadn't been cleaned yet, but even with that--I didn't like it. We walked to the third apartment, and alas! The agent didn't have the right key to get in. I was really sad, because I didn't want to make her go get the key and waste her time...but we decided to ask her to go get the key anyway. I'm SOOO glad we did! As soon as I stepped in the apartment, I knew it was the one! It is super cute, super clean, and RIGHT off campus. So...now I have an apartment! Sweet. I move in May first. I'm so excited.
It's going to be totally weird to move out from home though, I'm so used to being here with the family 24/7...but I think the move will ultimately be good, because in Weatherford I can socialize and work, and I think that is important. :) The good news is that the family goes to church with me, so I'll still see them all the time.
I am so greatful for both my job and apartment! After all the time I have spent praying about both issues, I am fully content and at peace about it all, because I know He is in control and that's an awesome thing!

Making Decisions...
So...I'm pretty sure making decisions, especially ones that I consider to be fairly major life decisions is currently my least favorite thing in the world. I keep second guessing myself. I'm questioning the wisdom of going into debt to go to school. Wondering how I can possibly get so much conflicting information from so many different sources....
Then I keep going back to the fact that I know God has a plan, and I know He will let me know what it is...but I'm just afraid I won't hear him. Or maybe I've already been told and I'm too nervous about messing up to follow it....I have no clue. Boo decision making. hahah.
Yeah, so...sorry my first post in forever is whiny. I'll think of something more fun and insightful to say soon.
