Y-M-C-A

So, yesterday morning I joined the Y! I'm so excited! I even went to my first class their yesterday-Strength Training! It was tough, but still worth it. I'm very excited about the results that this Weight Watchers + the gym is going to equal. I'm expecting big results! It's just amazing to me how good you can feel after exercising. I never experienced that before Ashton made me go with her Memorial Day morning. I am thankful though, that I am discovering this now in my life, instead of 20 years down the road. I never knew I could enjoy (even the slightest bit) exercising! Glad to have learned differently :)

New Happenings...

So, since my first post, I have gotten a job! It was actually the day after my first post that I got "the call". I will be working with the Dyer County School System. Haven't been told what school/grade yet, but will hopefully by the end of this week. I'm SO excited! I knew something was going to work out, just had to continue to be patient. I cannot wait to start getting my classroom all put together! This is kind of a dream come true :)

Also, Sunday night I went to a surprise birthday party for my friend Ashton. I spent the night with her afterwards, and she informed me that she had started going to the gym in the mornings, and that I was to go with her! I was not real excited about this. Actually, pretty nervous. I had never been to classes at a gym. I didn't bring tennis shoes to her house either. Ashton had a plan for me though! She made me go buy a nice, lovely pair of "Starter" men's tennis shoes. Believe me-they were stylish! Needless to say, we left her house a little before 8:00 the next morning! An hour and a half later, I have to say I felt incredible! We did a cardio/strength class and an abs class. Looking back, I'm very thankful she made me go with her. I'm going to look into classes here in Dburg to continue with! The morning at the gym was a great start to my plan for myself for the rest of the summer. New Job = New Beginnings!

This morning when I woke up = SORE....SORE....SORE! I barely made it down the stairs-haha. Mom text me and told me to call her, so I did. Only to learn that this morning as she was leaving for school and looking at the flowers we planted yesterday, she backed into my CAR!! She felt so bad for it. I let her know it was okay, but afterall it is kind of funny!

A New Kind of Patience and Faith

So, this being at home for 2 weeks and waiting for a job has taught me a couple things. I've never experienced anything like this before. Up until now, there's always been a "next step" that was there waiting for me. It's been hard for me to just wait. It's taught me to have a real faith that really trusts God's will and plan for my life. It's also taught me that it's not always easy to be patient. Trying to think about other things has been hard because all I'm worried about is my cell phone ringing and hoping this one is "the call". I know God has a plan for me, and I know that His plan will happen. I just have to remember that He is in control, and quit trying to do it on my own. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
