Mid-July Update

So, as I continue to settle in San Diego I find myself really seeing God answer prayers. The picture to the left is of me and my wonderful roommates, Sheena in the middle and Garyn.


While working almost 40 hours a week in a job I don't want anymore, and the time I do have beeing a home body I feel with the occassional hanging out with Ashley or Lauren and Bekah and of course my roommies and such. I know once I get plugged into a church it will be different. I did get to go to lunch with Bennett which was nice to catch up though :) Other than that not too much. Have friends saying they should come visit or we should get together, and that looks doubtful. Kinda irked when I call people and they don't call back. After awhile it goes beyond being busy and just lack of care for someone else and their time. Guess they are not really good friends now are they? I am realizing I have my moments of selflishness and maybe this is all within my homesickness I feel this way. But God did bless me with great roommates. I am in a job where for the first time I am not friends with anyone I work with. No one is friends with each other which is weird. There is a possible transfering me in the works as is promoting me. So I don't know. I don't want to get sucked into this company anymore. I need a new job to complete this transition of life. I am applying to everything!!! So pray over those applications if you think of it.

The past couple weeks I have been praying for friends and for life in general.

Praise Reports:
I had been praying for Amanda and for less stress and her new job and internship and that she would have peace about the changes with Scott moving, and God answered all that. She has been stoked with the jobs and her relationship with Scott, and it is just so good to see and hear that God is working.

I have been praying for less homesick for SLO pains, and I mean it has not been eliminated from my heart, it has just not something I am letting hinder. I am trying to be positive that God does everything for a reason.

For friends to secure housing! The got something and that is awesome. Not too soon either :)

My roommates and I are getting along great. Instant bonding. God really provided this place with these wonderful girls for me :)

Prayer Requests:

Job searching continues. I am not liking work more and more. It has nothing to do with adjusting, it is just a different vibe and environment that makes me dread going. My frustrations increase as I now have a degree and it is still impossible to get jobs. Well how can I get the experience if no one gives it to me? And no I don't want to make $8.00 an answer to that attempt when I make more working at Coffee Bean and I can't afford a pay cut.

Finances: Having good discernment in my spending, that God would continue to provide

For a good church here. I think I found one I like. I went to one my first Sunday here, and it was not exactly what I want. I don't want another Crusade like feeling church. I want something with a good opportunity to serve in youth ministry, missions, and balanced in fellowship. I went to The Flood the first week and it just wasn't for me. Grace San Diego was great. I had someone tell me (a customer come into work) about The Existence Church, so I may check it out this week, not too sure though. He said it is full of really young people.


Thanks friends for all the prayers and encouragement!!
