I absolutely love how encouraging every single person in my community group is and if someone is having a hard time with anything we pray for them on the spot. To be honest I’ve never experienced a community like this one and I’m pretty lucky to be a part of it. I haven’t felt this encouraged in a while. I’m overwhelmed at work but there’s this peace inside of me that helps me when I get uber stressed. My boss told me today in the morning that Iooked like I had just ran a marathon. I had only been working for 45 minutes…but I guess my look of being calm is being overrun by stress.

On a different note I just found out tonight that I need to plan the curriculum for tomorrow night’s English conversation program that I serve in. Looks like I’ll be planning at work if I have time or after work at a new favorite cafe or Starbucks.

Yes I have bad knees. Yes I’ve had surgery on one and it has never really been back to its old self. Yes I have arthritis in my neck. Yes I have scoliosis. Yes I have daily headaches and weekly migraines. Yes I have anemia. BUT best of all I have a God who is my source of strength and motivation. I have a God who is bigger than all of my health issues. I have a God who loves me more than I could ever comprehend. I have a God who died on a cross so that I may live.

Friday night I got to go to the Hillsong United concert at the Hollywood Bowl for free. I ended up sitting right in front of friends from Reality too! I was definitely blessed and that night was great.

I know I write about it a lot but I’m still looking for a new company to work with. I’ve been a little discouraged with my search but something that gets my hopes up is a friend looking to open up a franchise Hawaiian shaved ice. She has told me about it before as a potential position. Maybe God wants me to work with her in her company. I have no idea but I’m praying about it.

In a little more than a month I’ll also be moving close to my current work. I’ll be able to wall to work which will be great and will help me save money on gas. I just feel like my life and everything is really up in the air. I have to admit that it’s hard for me to completely trust God and his sovereignty in this but I’m trying to learn and understand.

I signed up for the Spartan Race in Malibu on Dec 7th and I’m excited for it. I got a lot of friends to sign up with me and we’ll start training together too. One thing that has been bothering me for the past few months is my neck and my headaches. They’ve become more frequent. I need to work out more to help prevent this and my health issues.
