This week I find myself becomming impatient. Apart of me has always struggled with being patient and having the ability to just "relax" and smelling the roses. Since moving to Savannah, I have done quite a bit of relaxing and doing the things I love. I found the mall and my favorite stores world market, home goods, and tjmaxx. My next order of business was to find and try all the local bakeries/cake/cupcake shoppes in Savannah. My favorite so far is "back in the day bakery". The couple who started the bakery made it from scratch literally. They even got married at the bakery. The cupcakes were to die for and they had coffee, tea, lemonade, pastries, and sandwiches. the best part was was the vintage sugary and sweet decorations of old baking utensils, banners, and old benches.
I had an interview for a job a couple of weeks ago and since then have been "patiently" waiting to hear back whether I got the position or not. The interview went awesome and I had a great feeling about it, but who knows how many other people interviewed for the position. While I was waiting to hear back about the job, I had an epipheny that I was going to work at the back in the day bakery and bake sweet decedant desserts until I could get the dream job I wanted working with people with disabilities.
Needless to say my dream of working at a bakery gave me something to think about and got me through, because I got a call back from United Cerebral Palsy of Georgia on Monday. They haven't told me for sure yet whether I got the job, but they are doing reference checks and doing a background check which seems to be a good sign :D woohoo!! I will keep everyone posted on the long hiring process until I actually get to start. Until then I will be getting ready for my classes by ordering my books!! I am thankful that I was able to have some time off from working and get settled in at my new home. And I am thankful that God provided me with a job so quickly at the same time. Everything happens through Him and in his time. For us waiting for something always seems like an eternity, but it is just a small amount of time to God.

Dear Teddy
Most of you are probably wondering where "Dear Teddy" came from...well that was my journal when I was in elementary school. Last year when I was at home one weekend we found an old journal with a picture of a teddy bear on the front. With each entry I wrote, "Dear Teddy". I guess you could say that this blog is the adult 2010 verstion of my "Dear Teddy."
It has come to my attention lately that myself and several of my friends have had negative experiences with facebook. We often spend hours upon hours of time just reading up on everyone's life and their recent happenings just to realize that I did not do what I set out to do that day. I have realized that there are many wonderful reasons that God created technology and the popular facebook and blogs. We are able to keep in touch with family and friends from all over the world, which I have come to enjoy since moving to a new state. Today, a facebook friend posted a thread about her friend/mother who had recently experienced several seizures and is in ICU. I see these posts all the time on facebook, but do not always react to them. For some reason this situation just hit me like a ton of bricks and I was extremely upset by the sad news. This family is hundreds of miles away from me, but I have been able to pray for them all day. I have also been able to read her husbands blog and see his love for Christ and his faith that God will take care of them through this trial. God allows us to lift each other up through facebook and his blog.
No matter what the situation is or trial, God always has a plan. God allows people to go through trials to grow immensely closer to Him and to gain a closer relationship with God. When he tells us to do something, he does not always provide us with the reason. It is human nature for us to ask why and demand an answer before we listen to Him. I'm not sure if any of this makes sense, but I am going to share what I have learned from what I see and hear. I don't know a lot but I try to piece everything together all with God's help. I will also be sharing things that I learn through my counseling classes in graduate school.
