11:26 pm - Yada yada yada

Life is such an amazing journey. I'm closer than ever to following my dream of going to Africa for medical missions. I've found love that I'm never going to let go of. I'm finding out what's most important and figuring out I have a lot more to figure out. Ha ha... sometimes you think okay, I've got this figured out...and then there is something that blows your mind and you start all over again. I'm looking forward to turning twenty five. That's going to be amazing... I'm not as afraid as I was before..of not being able to change habits or trying to fix things that are out of control. Now more than ever I'm able to identify the cards I have to play and play them to my advantage... or rather... to do the right thing. :D I've taken up with writing a few songs... I'm learning guitar right now. I feel like I have a brand new feeling in my life. One that can't be explained, but experienced. I am so happy! :D
Thank you Jesus for rescuing me over and over again. :)
I finally get this song...that I've cried too for years now:
Overflow: Cry on My Shoulder
You say you're falling apart
Reached the end of the line
Just looking for your place in an ordnary life
No one calls you friend
No one even knows your name
You just want to feel loved instead of all the pain
You no longer have to say
No one's listening anyway
Come here and cry on my shoulder
I'll hold you 'til it's over
I'll rescue you tonight
Let My arms be your shelter
Your hiding place forever
I'll love you more than life
You're wearing a frown
Given up on hope
My heart is reaching out
More then you will ever know
Is your burden too much?
Is it more then you can bear?
I'll help carry the load if you're willing to share
You have had some hard times
Had thorns placed in your side
I know about what you've been going through
tears of pain are falling down
It hurts so bad you're crying out
Your problems won't last forever
Let Me put you back together
Some links that are cool to go and hear this amazing song:
He's great...but it's kind of akward...I mean..it's a shirtless kid. He's got an amazing voice tho
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qBkOjl1vkQ
This is the original song with the lyrics pasted on it so you can sing along.

6:38 pm - Blah blah 24.....
|
So my 24th birthday was last Tuesday. I was really sick with some sort infection in my lungs...which isn't all clear now...but it's getting better. I also got an ear infection. It may sound funny, but I'm kinda happy I had to slow down and sleep for awhile. I feel like I've been going for awhile. I know I haven't been online for at least 88 days. That's a long time for me... Hopefully that won't keep being the trend. I'm trying to balance the working and social time with friends with online things. Sometimes friends can be very convincing though when they want to go out at night.
There is something that I have come to realize...
The people that I get advice from most are online
The people that I identify with better are online
I spend more time with people if I'm online
If I cut being on the computer completely out like I have...I'm okay...but I definately miss the people on the other ends...that have been great friends to me...that have listened to me...that give me great advice...that have helped me escape into my imagination... and work out the CRAZIEST problems.
I have to be honest. I'm terrible at keeping up with people. Most times if I don't keep up with it, I'm a terrible friend. It's a wonder I still have friends online, honestly.
There isn't a week that goes by that I don't think of you all.
I haven't made my birthday wish yet. I was saving it for something special like this: Wherever you are, however things are going for you my thoughts and prayers are with you my livejournal friends... I wish you guys are richly blessed and pray that God keeps you close and protected always.
On a different note:
Pray for me. I've got some creepy guy bothering me at church. It's kinda hard being single sometimes.... like ya gotta beat the guys off with a stick. *headshakes*
current mood:  cheerful

6:38 pm - Bleh

I hate politics. I HATE POLITICS! I hate government politics and I hate personal politics. I HATE PERSONAL POLITICS! That's why when/if I get married my husband will be the one who gets heavily involved in the governmental politics. Keeping up with that and the ones IRL make me want to pull out my hair!
I'm so angry! I lost my job last Monday because of personal politics. Some jerk manager decided that she didn't like me and got me fired from one of the only jobs I've really ever enjoyed like that. I had friends at work... I didn't always have to work alone! I was getting paid decently and was actually PROMOTED! Just cause someone had a bad attitude... I lost my job! Who fires an employee over ONE pathetic customer complaint that wasn't even really that BAD?! *inhales deeply and relaxes* Okay... got it outta my system :)
Other than that, life isn't too bad. I'm on the look out for another job again. (Big deal)I'm makin' new friends every week and I'm growing closer to God. I've been enjoying the weather so much recently, I've been outside spending my quiet times with God at the creek or at the park...and somtimes just walking around the block. I've been reading a book called The Divine Romance. I LOVE the poetry. It's great to remember that I have a God that cares so deeply about me. . when it seems that no one else does. I think the better part of this is that EVERYONE can experience this love. It's not just exclusive to me...and hopefully people around me feel just as loved as I do :)Which reminds me..I need to keep up on my encouragement stuffs.
(I know all my friends do...sometimes it's easy to forget though... since I don't see you guys every day or talk to you on the phone.)
It's nice to just vent every now and then on here... though I really don't have a cause for keeping one of these... no one ever reads it...
then again..when did I stop writing for me? Its like I don't get enjoyment out of it anymore.. I'll have to think about keeping it...
Anyhow...broadcasting my new phone number
NEW PHONE NUMBER 214-574-0709
Time to run and pick up the neighbor kid from school...
See ya'll round...

10:04 pm - Moved...new job..school ect
|
Well, hello!
It's been forever and a day it seems since I last posted here. Seven weeks. . . that sure is a long time. And... I have excuses for all of that...but excuses suck.
SO! I'm glad to be back... I do try and keep up by reading everyone's journal every now and then. I pray for all of you and miss you. :)
I've got a new job. It's going great! I'm a nurse for a family in Plano. It's a nice job. I am also going to school for four hours a week. I like it very much :) (I'm taking sign language. It's pretty neat!)
I'm defo looking forward to this weekend. I'm going to 1: Go to Deaf Club and hang out at the bar with some friends 2:Go hang out with friends tomorrow and play frisbee 3: Finish reading one of the three books that I baught yesterday!
I'm reading a book called Dateable. It's prett cool...although the age range is off by a few years. It's okay though. I can use the information inside the book and apply it to my life... and help out a friend who is pestering me with a million questions about it.
Anywho: I'm doing the Experiencing God study. If anyone has done it before and has any comments on it, let me know!
I hope everyone is cope-ing well with what's going on around them. Iris... I hope you get well soon! I'm praying for you!
See you guys later!

So... there is this person I've been trying to talk to...
whether I txt... leave an email... ask a question to their face...
it's nothing.
Nothingness.
Don't you just HATE it when that happens? I'm not liking it right now. I want an answer. I like being acknowledged.
Thankfully, said person doesn't have LJ.

8:38 pm - New Stuff
|
So it's all about new stuff now:
New Cell phone
New Bank
New Job
Gonna go to a new School
New Friends
So many new experiences... so many new personalities... I've almost been totally overwhelmed. Then there comes the new faith... the new perspectives on why to believe what I believe.. and new encouragement to tackle old problems.
I'm excited about all this newness. I'm also excited about improving on already great things in my life.
I'm feeling pretty blessed right about now.
-going to change the world....

10:08 am - An email from a friend... to all my friends...
|
Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes
away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say
"I love you."
So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's
broken and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage . and old cars
.. and children with bad report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging
parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because
we are worth it.
Life is important, like people we know who are special. So we keep
them close!
I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'! Then I sent it
to the people I think of in the same way. Now it's your turn to send this
to all those people who are "keepers" in your life, including the person
who sent it if you feel that way. Suppose one morning you never wake up, do
all your friends know you love them?
I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered
if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed
rekindling or three words needing to be said.
Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they
don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words
and a smile can do.
And just in case GOD calls me home ....
I LOVE YOU

5:26 am - God is AWESOME!
|
When I look back at the past couple of days, I can see how much GOD has really been at work in my life. I feel so blessed that I've gotten to do all the things I've done. Not only have I made a few new friends.... I have also maintained a clean environment, had time to hang out with friends, and had time to spend time in the word and pray.
It's been awesome :) I feel accomplished... and most importantly, content with the choices I am making. It's good to be happy :)
Have a nice day you guys.
I'm praying for all of you on my LJ.
Your Friend,
Dilsey

2:09 pm - New Job
|
Auntie Anne's is an experience like no other. I could be half there and not really mess up a whole lot at work. My first day at work I learned a lot. There is still much more to learn, but it's LOADS less work than Claire's. It's going to be a great brainless job for when I start at Collin County Community College this fall.
School... something I thought I wasn't going to do. I've found that I want to go to school for me... and really not for anyone else. I want to go after Nursing. It's no longer wanting to escape it all.. not a fly by night- lets do something radical. It's truly: I want to learn. I want to change. I want to be something more than I am. I don't want to be stuck behind making pretzels for a living. I want to be everything I can be in Christ.
I've been imprinting scripture on my brain... like Jeremiah 29:11. Lots of things to build up and change my life.
This summer is going to be unlike any summer I've never had. I'm excited about everything that is to come! I'm also patiently watching things around me. I'm ready to grow.
I'll see you all around!

10:25 am - Death in the family
|
My dad's side has seen just as many deaths this year as my mom's. The scary part is this: there are more and more of them every year... and the people just keep getting closer and coser to me...I'm wondering f it's just life's way of saying: ... well.... it happens, and will happen eventually to people closer to you.I shudder to think that life would end so short for people that I'm close too....and... eventually to myself.
Makes me want to enjoy life all the more. There is absolutely not a minute to waste doing meaningless things...I've done pleanty of that already. The useless trivia I've been tryng to learn... it's rediculous. I should just stick to the important books that are doing some good in my life...
**Now I am out of a job... so what am I going to do with my life that is productive... BESIDES rescue my Father again.
*sigh*
Eh... whatever comes next... GOD is GOOD... all the time. He's got stuff planned for me.. stuff set up. Things will be just fine. I've got hope...and faith... and of course love that never fails.
Well, I'm off to go get lunch and finish being the nurse for the day at the Deans.
Bye friends!

This coming Monday is my *official* last day at Claire's. I put in my two weeks notice two weeks ago then.
They have asked that I stay till they can get someone trained for the position.
If they REALLY want that...they'd better not write me up for being sick on Saturday. If they do, we are going to have a little talk about the law and how WRONG it would be for them to do that...and how awesome it would make me feel if I left them hanging because they did write me up. :D
I get my PC..yes folks..my PC that bluescreened on me.... is coming back to life this week. Can you believe it?
I've missed that thing. I'll have that to get on the net with... and then I'll also have my laptop fixed up. Two computers? Who'd have ever thunk it?
Two ways to get on NarniaMUCK! I'm ecstatic!
:D :D ;D
Well, I've got to get off here and head over to work. 12-6.
Take it easy ya'll!

I have an interview this Thursday at 10:30!!!! YAY FOR PASAR! Now I've got to figure out what to wear to the interview.
It's an interview with an afterschool program..so this means I'll have the entire summer off to do whatever whenever I'd like. Maybe I'll even be hired back at PASAR for the fall semester.
I love working with kids, so this job ought to be awesome.
It's either this.... or get a car and I'll basically be handed a postion at another mall....valley view...taking on the job of a manager of... well... I leave that juicy information for later. It's not going to pay more than PASAR though....so my options are still open for the most part.
*yawn* I'm so incredibly sleepy. I can't wait to close that shop and go home. I've got a MILLION things to do tomorrow in preparation for Thursday.
I'm off now. Going to get my hair done :D
*hugs*

Ten minutes before Starbucks opens. Thirty minutes before I have to go to my shop and begin the duties of cleaning up the mess I left last night. One hour before I open the shop...and goodness knows how long before I get off work. I was supposed to have off today and see Brother Lars and Matthew...
Matthew, if you read this, I am upset with you. You probably know why. If you don't, then call me.
I'm really happy I get to update before Sunday and Monday. Today I pick up my W2 from Chinese Avenue. Tomoz I work the evening shift.
Volley ball with the F.O.C.U.S. Crew was nice. I even got picked up straight from work.
So many issues to be worked on..... so little time...
OH!!!! And I've got to make a cake for a friend!!! I've got to remember that :D Cake... I'll have to make two because I don't know if the preference is chocolate or vanilla.
So...next weeks agenda is make cake and hope my new manager gets better so I can have off and hang out online more. Then we have FUN!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D
I miss you guys...all of you. I feel like a jerk cause I don't know what's really going on with half of you. I'll give you a call during this week... for now... I've got to jet. Work awaits.

5:16 pm - Looking forward to Part time
|
Soon... very soon... I'll be dropping down back into my part time working. (I was hired for part time, but I've been carrying full time hours.) They've got me working seven days this week. Seven. That's a lot to work for a week! However, this coming Sunday and Monday, I will be off and hopefully be online and out at the cabin when my family comes into town. So yay for off time!!! I'm hoping to attend FOCUS this evening. It's a college age group that has church every sunday night at UTD. Tonight we are supposed to be meeting at Fudruckers. I have to call and see if Bethany can go...cause I'm not sure if she'll want to or not. We went out Friday night... and were exhuasted afterwards.
Ask me about the story of Hassan, Bethany and myself being at a park at 11 pm, then getting chased away by a crazy person in a lexus. It's funny.
I've GOT to figure out a way to transfer my pictures over here, or just make my myspace..(yes, I got a myspace to put up pictures) not private. (I've got it set to private so my employers don't fire me for having one. You know how picky they are about those stupid things.) So I'm going to make it public I guess... just so you guys can see my pics.

11:37 pm - Tired
|
So I was supposed to be able to cash my check today. Since I have it directly deposited, there is no way for me to cash it. This means I'm broke until tomorrow sometime :( :( :( :( :(
That's okay. I don't need that stupid money today anyways. Not like I was going to try and send stuff in the mail or anything.. I wasn't going to try and pay any bills either.
That's my attempt at being sarcastic and angry.
Now I'm going to toddle off and get some rest and go to a bible study before I hang out on Narnia at nine this evening.
Hope everyone is well. I'll talk more about Claires and birthday pictures later :)
C ya!

7:41 pm - Long time no update:
|
So I've been working at Claires for about four weeks now. I'm pretty much full time. I always work about fourty hours a week and spend way to much time traveling here and there. Sad really. I've got so much stuff to do and so little time to do it in it seems.
I've been taking time to exercise and get closer to God.
I've been hanging around people for at least thrity minutes a day.
I've been reading tons of books and am ready to take my test I believe!
I'll have my laptop fixed relatively soon and will have access to Narnia then.
As for now, I'm sitting in the connection court at Shops at Willow Bend. We're a pretty nice mall, so they let us check our email. Cute huh? I think so!!!! I've got new pictures of myself, that I'll be posting elsewhere. The pictures are of my birthday. (I said I would post these earlier, I just haven't had the time or energy to do it. Claire's is a demanding job, but since we've hired another person, it won't be so much work for me. I'll get to spend more time on the computer!!!)
I've been thinking of all of you, and miss you like the desert misses the rain!
Lots of love to all of you!
Amz
