A desire for adventure

I have always wanted to live somewhere really cool, especially somewhere over seas. It is almost like God is speaking to me through other people because I have heard about and talked to all of these different people who are living out my dream...to teach English in another country. I would love to even move somewhere for just a year for an amazing adventure but the hardest part is trying to convince my husband to do so. Ahhhh...where to go from here?

FRUSTRATION!!!

Ok, I am going to let off some steam now... I can't stand when Managers don't do their job and pawn everything off on everyone else!!! I mean aren't you getting paid more for a reason?! I work off of commission because I don't really make all that much an hour so when the manager doesn't do her job and makes me do it so that she can have all the leases that are supposed to be my job to take care of...it royally PISSES ME OFF!!! I can't believe how greedy and selfish some people are? You get paid plenty to do the things you are supposed to do...don't take all the leases when my title is leasing consultant.

***Wow, I feel much better now!

Is it really that hard!?

My husband is sick once again and I swear it is due to his lack of cleanliness. He refuses to wash his hands and it completely grosses my out! Hand washing is one of the main ways to stay healthy and keep from getting sick. I just don't understand why it is so hard to do, it takes maybe 30 seconds which is no time at all. Even if you don't wash your hands for no reason you should ALWAYS wash them after going to the bathroom! It is beyond me that some people can go without washing their hands after using the restroom and my husband is definitely one of those people! EWWW!!!

Outer appearances: why so important?

I just finished writing on my class discussin forum and the topic was about plastic surgery. I am by no means going to claim that I have never contemplated plastic surgery because that would be a blatant lie, but I constantly find myself wondering why we are so focused on outer appearances. I feel like our society is so clouded about what is really important. Don't get me wrong, I think everyone of us has an obligation to take care of ourselves, but you can do that without major alterations. I think everyone should strive to eat right, excersize, and take care of your skin and body, but going under the knife is a little too far for me. I think that God made everyone individual and perfect in his eyes. And why would we care what other people think about our appearances? In my opinion, if someone is only focused on outer appearances, they are a shallow person who lacks any depth whatsoever.

ARBONNE!!!

Well, today was my first official day as an Arbonne International Independent Consultant! I had my very first party and it was great! I am super excited about this whole network marketing thing! I started using the products within the last several months and completely feel in love with them! My coworker/friend was the one who introduced me and has been trying to get me to sell the products, or should I say share the products, they sell themselves, for some time now and I finally decided "Why not?" I am such a fanatic of health and wellness and beauty products so this will be a blast for me. And not only that, I truly love the products and I love the attitude of everyone that is involved with Arbonne. I am so excited about getting started and I look forward to seeing how the Lord blesses me and uses me to bless others! Here is to a great road ahead!

Magic 8 ball anyone?

I know this is going to sound completely juvenile and ridiculous, but why can't we have a magic 8 ball with all of the answers?!?!?! I get so frustrated when I am completely confused about which direction to go in and which choice to make...it is exhausting and draining! I know, I know, I pray and wait for God to lead me, but I guess I am slightly impatient. Maybe thats what I should be praying for, patience!

Blessed!

Sometimes I forget how extremely blessed I really am. I think that as a society we do not realize how blessed we are and how easy we have it. Most Americans have more that they need or want, but are never satisfied. After hearing the sermon at church this morning, I felt really guilty for not being satisfied with all of my blessings and for not realizing that I truly am rich in every way. God is such a faithful provider and he has blessed everyone in different ways. God is so good!
