Missing it...

Helloooo, you know these beautiful ladies, huh?

Have the most pleasantful faces I know.

Well, I'm missing them.

Every single one.

:'(waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I'm really missing everyone in Abby... the youth, my college buddies, my fellow leader/co-workers, my family, my friends.. everyone.

I'm still emerging here. Getting used to it.

Had my first job today!!!

That was interesting. Harriet was very patient with me lol. But I got cruising:) Getting the hang of things there at the cute lil restaurant, Sam's. Well, it was my training today.

I go again on Saturday 'n then Sunday, wehaaw!

A lot of the days, I've had stuff going on but majority of the time I got na-daa. Unproductive. Don't like that word. Describes what my time looks like.

Wait..

I lie.

I been doing stuff for the youth group, sorting out information for diff events and been working crazy on scheduling for womens bible study. But that's like.. work really hard for an hour, then the rest.... goes towards.... not much.

But this job @ Sam's should fill in a lot of empty spaces I once had:)

And I make a lil more $mula$.

Plus, there's this lil business thing I'm checking out. Last Thursday I went to the meeting. Went pretty good. I sat there and was like... yeah, I think I could do this.

Financial world, business world, all alien to me, but who knows, we'll all get on a personal-i-know-you bases. We'll see.

I told a bit of my testimony this past Friday. I was feeling the anxiety on my shoulders and the puke in my stomach. It went away eventually, after I told my story.

I don't know why but now.. things like that really get my heart rate going. Performance. Anxiousness. Responsibility. Speak poetically. I just feel so nervous! Even in regular conversations.

I don't know why.

When I talk with certain people, like my sis Yo for example, everything just FLOWS!

I don't have to try when I'm talking to her, things make sense when they come out of my mouth and sometimes, they even sound poetic.

What's the dill-io?

But,

I was nervous and was praying for God to save me (this past Friday) and felt him leading me to listen to this song Hillsong sings,

chorus' were something like this "Your light will shine when all else fails"..

I strongly felt God calming me and saying "Jo, no matter what comes out of your mouth tonight, whether it's poetic or not, my Light will shine. IT'S GOING TO SHINE!"

Right away, that calmed me down.

So I didn't worry. As much.

I'd like to share something Amber had e-mailed us:

"...Right now, my visa situation seems really unsure in human eyes but not in God's eyes.

Right after I got my tourist visa I felt like God gave me the verse James1:2 "Consider it PURE JOY, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds." The PURE JOY part really stuck out to me. God is teaching me how to find joy in whatever He does.

"Father we thank you for only giving me a tourist visa so I can learn how to have PURE JOY in all trials and circumstances and so I can learn how to trust you more. Father I pray that your will will be done. Help me never to step out of it."

Strangly enough, I was just talking to Yoyo yesterday and God was sharing the same thing (through that e-mail) for both of us! That e-mail was moving, thanks Amber.
