Lately I have found myself trying to live just one day at a time. In the past I was someone that tried to figure it out all at one time. Its hard to switch from that mentality to a new one of "its ok not knowing what tomorrow is supposed to be or what it will bring". I think so far I have done a pretty good job of accomplishing this new way of life. I moved all the way from SC to IN, with no money in my pocket and moving to a new place that I new nothing about. I put all my trust in God the father that he knew what was best for me and if I trusted him everything would be ok. So far he has been completely RIGHT! Not that I thought that he wouldn't be right but its always hard to put your trust in something that you never saw yourself doing. Its hard to pack up everything and move across the country with no guarantees.
Upon the day of my arrival it was confirmed that I was supposed to be here. I received my acceptance letter to ISU and day by day it has been revealed that I am in the right place.
I have started attending my parents church Victory Baptist. I have had the opportunity to fufill one of my life long dreams of singing. I am singing on praise team and doing solo's when I get the chance. I am also singing in the christmas play for december and helping start up the new praise team for the youth group. Another new exciting thing is that a local guy in the church came up to my sunday morning after my solo and told me he couldn't believe how beautiful my singing was and he wants to sing a duet with me. I have wanted to sing harmony with a guy for a very very long time. He has a really good voice and I think that we would sound good together. Each and everyday it is shown me how much God loves me and how much he has my best interest at heart. I love seeing what God has planned for me and how he lets my life unfold before my eyes. I also might get to take piano lessons for free if I help one of my mom's friends with singing lessons. I have always wanted to play the piano but have just never had the money to do so. I think it would be really great to sing with the piano. I am overwhelm with emotion....

Wow, so its been a while since posting a new blog. I apologize. When I first started this blog the plan was to write something each day but I have found myself not accomplishing that. Life has been steady lately but everything is new. I have started two new jobs recently. Neither one very satisfying but I am blessed to have money coming in at least. The first job I work is in the deli in a local IGA grocery store. Its tiring work that takes no brain power to complete. Its a lot of cutting meat and waching dishes. Lots and Lots of dishes! The other job is substituting at the local highschool. Its more rewarding and not as tiring. I had the opportunity for the first time yesterday. It was interesting but I enjoyed it.
I have also recently got more involved with my parents church in the music department. I have sung solo's in the past and now I am singing on sunday mornings and working with the youth praise band. I am in heaven. I love to sing and I am so blessed to be able to do so. I have waited a very long time to be able to use my gift and be appreciated. I am here.
Indiana is great. I thought that I wasn't going to like it... but so far I have enjoyed the small town feeling, working one minute from the house and the colder weather. I can't wait until the snow comes. I can't wait to have a white christmas and to be able to sled down a big hill and possiblely go ice skating on a lake.
School starts in january and so I have been trying to get everything organized. The university told me that I am required to stay on campus being that I am a freshman so I have already applied for housing. I am hoping that I get a good dorm with a great roommate. Today I went to talk to a financial advisor to see about school loans but didn't get much information. It has been sort of frustrating because I have gone a few times over the last few weeks trying to get help for certain school things but have found myself not getting very far. I have left both times feeling like I have gotten nowhere.
This afternoon I applied for a citi school loan and got declined. Its frustrating but I know that God has ordered my steps here and for ISU and I am just going to continue to trust that everything will fall into place and that he will continue to walk by my side and order my steps just like he always has.
God is so Good!!!

Well it has been about nine days since my last post so I thought I would get on here and update a little bit.
My move to Indiana went well but my car has still not been unpacked. Life has been so crazy that I just haven't had time... My car is still jam packed full of stuff. I don't know when I will get around to emptying it. I will probably just keep taking stuff out a little at a time as I need it. There just isn't anywhere in my house to put all my stuff right now.
The last two weeks I have spent my time looking for a new job. I have applied at so many places it isn't funny. I never thought I would have this much trouble finding a job. I have pretty good experience and I am pretty well educated. I have found myself getting really discouraged but my Mom just keeps telling me the right job just hasn't come around. I did have a phone interview today with a local bank for a teller position. I am excited and can't wait to find out the results. I also had a little pre-interview and paper work thingy with a local grocery store on Monday....I am supposed to find out my results of a background check later this week... But they weren't very flexible on hours. I told them I could work monday through saturday anytime but I could only work between the hours of one pm and four pm on sunday. She asked why and I explained that I had church and choir practice. I am just not going to give that up. I have been very laxidasial about going to church the last few years and I am not going to bring that bad habit with me. I feel that my life has changed dramatically the last few weeks and that is one thing that I can start a new with. Plus she told me that they are union and mom says that is not a good thing. If she calls back I am just going to explain that I am not interested.
Another good thing is that I am going to start tomorrow working with the youth praise band at my new church... Victory Baptist (M&D's Church). I am uber excited because it is something that I have wanted to do for a very very long time. I can't wait to see the potential that I have to work with.
I am currently really sore because for some reason my back has been hurting really bad today. I woke up this morning with some of the worst back pain that I have had in a really long time. It has been almost worse than the pain that I had when I got into an auto accident back in january with the grandparents. It has been very miserable and Vicodin didn't even help very much. I sure hope it is gone by tomorrow.
Another interesting thing in my life right now is that I have applied to be a substitute teacher at the local schools in the area. I don't think that I will have any problem but it takes about two weeks to get the certificate back. My two weeks are a week from today and I am hoping that I can work at the highschool everyday during school hours and then maybe work at night somewhere else. I need to be able to save as much money as I can for school.
