Sierra College Graduate of 2010

Yep. That's me!! I am an official graduate of the 2010 class at Sierra College!! WHOO!!

I can't believe it...

I can't believe that in 5 days I am going to be a community college graduate with 2 AA degrees (1 in Deaf Studies and 1 in Liberal Arts with an emphasis in music). I can't believe that I am moving to Idaho in 2 months. I can't believe that everything is finally coming into place so that I can do what God wants me to do. I can't believe that I am going to be a Communication major and Bible minor. I can't believe that I am going to be a missionary to the Deaf. I can't believe it...God help me to believe it and do it. In Jesus' name. Amen.

I can't believe that today is Mother's day, I can't believe it's almost Father's Day....I can't believe it!

Sadness

Oh my. I am SO sad.

Since yesterday, all I can think about is my boss Kim Sharp...she is my manager at Target. A couple of days ago, her daughter, who I went to school with, died in a car accident. Prayer is needed for her and her family.

Father God, I pray for the Sharps. Father you know the situation of the car accident, you know everyone in the family and friends who are affected by the tragity of Tessa's death. Father, I ask that you place your hand on Kim and John and Kim's children and grandchild who will not remember his aunt Tessa. Father, although I really only know John and Kim, I ask that you be with Tessa's siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, etc. Father I pray forgiveness and I pray that you bless them. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Prayer for this family is greatly appriciated.

God Bless you guys!

For a while, I had been working very little and people were telling me that I should look for a different job so that I could get more money.....when I started my current job, I was losing 75 cents an hour.

Then Spring break happened at the beginning of the month and I was worried how small my check was going to be...but when I came back from my week vacation to one of my grandma's houses I was shocked to see my hours increased. I thought at first it was because I was gone for the week and it was to balance out my check so it wouldn't be super small. But ever since then, I have been working over 30 hours a week (with my 14 units of school) and although hectic....I have been able to do it...and I am very thankful that I am able to get more money for my move and transfer to Northwest Nazarene University.

Father God, I pray and thank you for giving me the extra hours so that I have enough money to move and do the things that you want me to do. Father I pray that you bless my family and keep them strong as I move away and I pray that you keep me strong so that I don't get to the point of getting so homesick that I move back home and abandon the calling you have for me. Thank you for everything you have done, the encouraging, EVERYTHING. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Easter (Spring) Break

I had one of the best times in a LONG time and I was able to get away from my house and from work for a whole week!! (I'm not trying to brag.) I was able to go to my grandmother's house (the grandma in California)....I am SO glad that I was able to spend an entire week with her, because it was my last opportunity to spend all that time with her before my moveto Idaho. And I was able to spend some time with my cousin Wyatt, who I haven't spend quality time in many years. ;)

This was a very blessed weekend for me and I pray now that I don't get insane with the HUGE increase in hours at work.
