Life

For the past year I have been near dead in my faith. It has been a depressing, overwhelming and hard year. In the past month I have truly felt the Lord's blessing. It started when my cousin offered me the chance to drive out to Iowa with her and her husband. When I got out here I started feeling that the Lord was calling me out here. As I was spending a great evening playing Halo with my friends out here I was praying that the Lord, if he wanted me out here he would provide me with a place to live. As the night went on my friend Micah told me that I could stay with him rent free for a few months well I got back on my feet. So I had a place to stay but I had nothing to sleep on. As my friend Kyle and I were dumpster diving I found a brand new mattress. Brand new still in the plastic Sealy posturepedic. Best night of sleep I have had, ever. So now I have a place to sleep but can I make a living. A few days after I got here I started hitting the streets looking for jobs. I turned in many applications and just a few days after I turned one in to a company named WS Live, I got an interview. I went into the interview and they gave me a second interview right away. 3 hours later they called me and offered me the job. I start on Monday. So in the week before I started work my loving parents flew me back out to Colorado so I could pack up my stuff and drive back. I returned safely from Colorado Wednesday. Thursday I woke up feeling like I was on deaths door. Throwing up, body aches, chills, and fever I thought for sure that I had the swine flu or H1N1. And just like that I felt Satan's attack on me. This was definitely not a good thing know that other companies were making people take a week off if they had any symptoms of the flu. After much prayer by many wonderful people, I was completely back to normal by the end of the evening. So to sum up everything I moved, got a place to live, a new bed, a job and an over all better quality of life. The Lord has truly blessed me in these past few weeks. So thank you to all of those read my blog and have been praying for me.
