a little bit of an update...

So, some of you may be wondering "what has amanda been doing since she moved? is she even working yet??" well, no. I am not working yet, but I have been doing a lot since moving here. I have been meeting people, getting my hair cut, going to the gym daily.... important things like that. 

As far as the job thing goes, I am working on that. I have been so blessed to be living with my sister and her husband and because of their generosity, I do not feel pressured to go out and find any old job, not yet at least. I am trying to be smart about this, pursue different paths and opportunities that come up. As of right now, I am just trying to apply to a certain amount of jobs a week. I am looking into nursing, but also exploring maybe a more creative-type job. In the mean time, this week I will start looking after two boys on Wednesdays. A good friend of my sister needs some time during the week, and I happen to be available and I happen to love kids. So, on Wednesdays you will find me hanging out with a one year old and a three year old. I am actually very excited about this because they seem like wonderful kids and I think we will have fun.

So, that is about it. I know it is not much, but I am feeling comfortable and at peace with how things are going. The Lord is continuing to teach me to reset the way I think things should go or will go. And, I am getting more and more excited to see how things are going to pan out and to see the little things that are settling in place...
