The last few weeks had been quite hectic for me! Numerous things going around in work and home life..here are a few recaps and updates…
I finished my summer school class..yay! Those 6 weeks, 3 nights a week was very draining! I, however, did indeed enjoy the class. The instructor knew his information, which is always a plus, and eventhough he was tough with a essay exam of 8+ pages every monday and a quiz every wednesday; I praise God for getting me through it!
Work has been quite stressful the last few weeks! I transfered from an assistant job to be the payroll and personnel coordinator for my dept. The new position has been quite challenging, especially cleaning up the mess that the previous person intentally left for me but God has been good giving me a great and patient supervisor. I’m doing two jobs right now, juggling in between the assistant job and the payroll job since we’re in the process of finding/hiring my own position. It’s going to be exciting cuz’ I’ll be on the other side of the panel – the interviewer instead of the interviewee. As far as the other position that I had applied for, after the interview I wasn’t too excited to work with the manager there and since I hadn’t heard anything, I think the feeling was mutual. Oh well, it’s all good cuz’ God has a plan for me…
NHCC..we had the last of our first concert series. Thanks for everyone who had prayed for us and thanks for all those who attended. God did some mighty work during the concerts. We seemed to have just enough help and always an abundance of food. It reminds me of when Jesus fed the 5000 people with just 5 loaves of bread and two fishes, and on top of that, they had plenty of leftovers after everyone was filled. Praise God for the awesome turnout and pray for the continual ministry events for our neighbors. One that comes to mind is our basketball camp in a few weeks for 4 to 6 graders. Sichan’s leading that so pray that God will give him the discipline to manage his time wisely so that he can plan for this event. Also, pray that God will give us support by bringing not only kids to this event but also helpers. We decided not to do VBS this year and decided to push for a basketball camp since the kids in our neighborhood seem to love sports more.
Praise God that I read through an entire book last saturday. It’s been so long since I’ve read an entire book in one day. I read Tammy Trent’s book, Learning to breathe again. It’s a amazing book of how God can still use Tammy even though a horrible lost; she had lost her husband through a diving accident. I cried throughout most of the book. I’ve been so encouraged by her testimony!
Also, I’ve slowly started stamping again. It’s been quite a challenge since everytime I try to, I think of my late friend, Ivy and then I get sad but I recently stopped by our favorite store, Stampers’ Corner in Elk Grove and it brings me fond memories of the times when Ivy and I used to shop there. They’ve actually moved and expanded their store. It would have been nice for Ivy to be there with me since we could probably spend the whole day just browsing around but I’m learning how to heal through grieving. It’s been better day by day but I still miss my friend.
Well, I better go and start my day now..hope to talk to everyone soon!
