Cloudy with a chance of showers

I have been meaning to post again, but life keeps happening and I keep getting busier and busier.  Right now, my life looks like it is cloudy with a chance of showers.  At the beginning of last week I found out that the job I currently have will no longer be mine by November 1.

I went to a ladies retreat this past weekend with my mom and a friend of ours, it was a very peaceful weekend.  It reminded me that when life hands you clouds and storms, it is the perfect time to try to find the rainbow of God's promises.  Even though I am in the process of losing one job and looking for another, I feel very much at peace.  God will take care of all my needs.  I just hope and pray that through this time I am able to shine His light and go where He wants me to.

Just remember, even in the storms of life, God sends His rainbows of promise!

Changes...

There have been a lot of changes over the past couple of months, so many changes that I haven't had time to even think straight most of the time.  My last project with AmeriCorps NCCC was good.  We went to Dry Ridge Kentucky and worked with Habitat for Humanity for about a month.  Then we were called on disaster and worked with the Red Cross in New Brunswick New Jersey for Sandy relief for a couple of weeks.  I then graduated from AmeriCorps!  Supposedly I was to come home for a few weeks and then head to Sacramento California as a FEMA Corps Team Leader, but instead I ended up coming home, then heading back to Vicksburg Mississippi for two weeks and deciding that I needed to come home for a while.

I really enjoyed the two weeks in Vicksburg getting to know the other team leaders, but was not a peace about staying down there, so I packed up and came back home.  I am back to working at Lowes in the Hardware Department with some pretty cool people.  The one thing that I really miss about AmeriCorps is the construction work that I was doing.  It didn't take me long to figure out that construction and disaster relief work is what I love doing!  Hopefully soon I will be able to get back into it, right now its back to the "real" world to earn money for a vehicle.  In the meantime, I am trying to keep my options open and figure out what is the next step to take.

Oh, and the best news is: I have finished paying back my students loans, so I don't have anymore debt!! :)
