Not the best, but pretty good


BEST POEM IN THE WORLD

I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.

But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.

There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.

Bob, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.

I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.

'And why is everyone so quiet,
So somber - give me a clue.'
'Hush, child,' He said,
'they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you.'

JUDGE NOT!!

Remember...Just going to church doesn't make you a
Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.

Every saint has a PAST...
Every sinner has a FUTURE!

3 job possibilities...really?!?

I had my interview today for an ESL aid position. I was super nervous and I felt way under qualified...it went okay. I had a difficult time understanding the principle, but aside from that I felt good about my responses. So, I was kind of surprised that he called me 4 hours later to ask me to come in for a 2nd interview on Monday!!! I still don't feel super stoked about the position, but I feel so excited that I could actually qualify.

I did hear back from the other school I interviewed at for the swim instructor job this summer and guess what.... I GOT IT!!! I'm so excited!! I love being outside so much and it will give me some great experience with teaching kids to really see if I want to continue down the road of teaching.

So for now I will continue working at Starbucks and then transition over to swim lessons come May. We'll see what happens with this ESL position...

Now for the shred...

Peace

The Shred...

Yesterday I started the 3o day shred. Its a rear kicking exercise program!!! My hubs and I just finished and we both feel like we could pass out. And get this...its only a 20 min. workout! We are pathetic! My goal is to really stick to my guns and do the work out everyday for 30 days. I'll let you know if I keep to it ;)

In other news I finally have a job! I am now a barista at Starbucks. I also have had another interview for the summer as a swim instructor for little ones...I really hope I get it because I would love to have an excuse to be outside everyday playing in the water with kids. AND...I have another job interview tomorrow for an ESL teaching position. I also have 2 other prospects...but they are still prospects. I'm so thankful to finally have so many opportunities. The Lord has been so good to provide for us just with Simeon working. My sweet husband has been so encouraging and patient while I figure out what I want to do. None of the things above are really what I want to do long term, but they are going to help me get there (more about that later ;).
Thank you my King for your provision and how
much you love your children. Please guide us
in the way we should walk and help us to keep
our eyes on you in everything we do. May we
seek, do and serve all for your glory and not
for our own. You are so faithful and good Papa.
love,
your daughter

Good Night!
