Fire in the Sky

The sunset last night was INSANELY beautiful ... and I was right in the middle of cooking, so I didn't run down to the beach, but I did take some shots from our balcony. Jay and I are reading Exodus right now, and after we watched the sunset Jay mentioned that maybe that's how the Israelites saw God's glory on the mountains -- as a brilliant never ending sunset, which I thought was a completely wonderful thought. It capped off a day that was quite a blessing.


I am still waiting for word from my second Job Interview (this one with Jenny Craig). But on the outset, the interview seemed to go super well. I was interviewed by four people all together, and the whole deal took only 1 hour (between four people seemed to go pretty quickly). The first lady who interviewed me was the other graphic artist in creative services. The second was the Marketing Guru and the third (and fourth) were the big head honchos of the creative/marketing/strategic planning/other long business-like terms I can't remember -- and they were the only ones who really made me a bit nervous.

All in all, I can't say whether I feel like I will get the job or not. I need to wait now (of course) as they are interviewing a couple more people. I HATE the waiting part, and I'm trying to focus on other things, but it's sooooo hard. It comes down to this I think: I really do want the job, I want the opportunity, the experience of being in a "corporate environment" and I REALLY want the stability of a regular paycheck and benefits. Between you and me, I will most DEF. be disappointed if I don't get the job ... I didn't want my heart to go there, but it is, and I can't stop it now.

I guess in the end, I've been praying so much about it, and NOT that I would get the job (although, yes, I have asked!) but more that God's will will be done, and whatever he thinks is best for me, would be. I've been praying that no matter what the outcome, that I will accept it in my heart because I know that I've been praying and asking, and it'll be what is supposed to be.

So that's the latest, I'm not sure exactly when I'll hear back -- they mentioned a couple days, so I'm thinking, Monday? But they will let me know either way.

And I will let you know too =) Till next blog.

So, I'm going to admit how pathetic and "of little faith" I can be with this post. Of course, there needs to be a bit of prelude-type explanation. On Nov. 20th my husband and I will celebrate a special anniversary -- 4 years since leaving our home -- the only one we've known in Sherwood Park, Canada -- and driving, with only our car, clothes and guitars across the border and down, down, down to San Diego, California. (that's 1751 miles south) Our reason for the move was to pursue our music, our mission and our dreams and just a new life, pioneers of sorts. It would take me many blogs to say how many times God has shown me his love through the whole process, from easy stops at border crossings, to precisely timed Visa interviews, to lenient border guards, to miracles in paperwork and finding jobs, it is astounding how He has continually provided for us, and continually strengthens my faith through circumstance. So, enter here and now, almost 4 years later after V...

There has been a lot of emotion for me the last couple days ~ it's hard to describe to someone who doesn't understand. After finding out that my dad that I've never known, is alive and has been looking for me, and after being found by a half sister -- worlds just are not the same.  The very person who's lack of presence has had a mighty hand in shaping the person that I am, is now is this strange half-shadow that is almost within reach, but still not accessible. My heart wants to scream sometimes (a messy mixture of fear, frustration and joy) but I know that I need to give him the space that he needs.  It's all so very messy this life, this love.  God has been the only father's love I have known -- but as I believe that God is creating great healing and restoration to my dad's soul and mine as well. I described this way to a good friend of mine: It's like your life is this little house, with all these windows letting in light, and you know these w...

Today I have a bad attitude. It's not even like I have a really good excuse, in fact they are pretty pitiful but I'll share. I have this pretty uncanny ability to wake up RIGHT at my alarm ... I'm not talking in the general vicinity of when it goes off, by 5 or 10 mins ... this morning, I literally woke up walked to my phone and my alarm went off, that's like 30 seconds early. So, you would think the morning is off to a good start. I worked out and thought about sitting on my couch with my warm and fuzzy latte in hand and got to the fridge, only to realize that my darling husband had used all the milk. This is not a big deal (or it shouldn't be) but we actually really had no real food anyways, no eggs, not even a bun or toast, so my breakfast hiatus from my day was thwarted. Never fear, I can get food at work - no biggie. So, work is work. I drive, I arrive. It's corporate, and now, thanks to our inter-office move, ridiculously quiet. And it's good, none ...
