Okay... I agree, that had been sitting there for a while.
Eveything is pretty much the same, except of course a new job.
I'm working at another restaurant, Willie's. I like it okay :-).
The one thing that's new and exciting for me, is that I passed my GED test! I just found out yesterday, Hehehe. I thought I was going to fail it, but.... I DIDN'T. So, now I can get started with school. WHOO HOO!
Bennigans and Stake and Ale closed down...
They didn't give us any kind of warning. I was getting ready to go into work when my friend calls me and is like "Hey, Bennigans closed down nation wide." I was speachless, lol.
Now I get to find a new job!
I was just going to go get another waitressing job, but my mom has been telling me I need to get some kind of office job. Plus I do have Tendonitise in the beck of my knee. So, maybe I should find something where I'm not constantly walking on it.
So, the past few months have been kinda hard.
It's weird being 18 and being out in the world, having to make your own decisions. I miss not having the option of making a bad decision. Now I know I've made plenty.
There was a point where everything seemed perfect, I had my friends my family, I had just started my job and felt great about myself. It's all gone down hill, because I've made bad decisions. I feel like I've grown apart from childhood friends, just cause we've gotten older and gone different ways. I've lost a very close friend, completely. I've lost reputation.
It doesn't seem to matter that I've tried to do better, I still have baggage. So, now... I'm tired of trying to convince other people that I'm not this horrible person. (then again, that's probably exactly what I'm trying to do in this blog).
I've come to realize as much as I want everyone to believe I'm not a horrible person... I can't convince everyone...
All I can worry about is God, and my family, cause they're the ones that are always going to be there for me.
I do love the friends that I have. Unfortunately, the Christian friends that I have, aren't as close as I'd like them to be.
Anyways... On a brighter note... I moved up at Bennigans, whoo hoo! I'm excited... I think I'll have fun waiting tables.
I found out I like being busy and talking to new people.
I still plan on going to Dental Hygiene school.
I wish I had taken my GED test sooner, but I procrastinated and ended up having to wait till the fall. So, come August we'll see if I pass! Then comes the rest of it. I'm excited!
I don't know if anyone actually gets on here anymore, but I hope everyone is doing well.
I'm sorry you're having trouble trying to gain some reputation after your bad decisions. We all make mistakes in our lives. The most important part about mistakes is learning from them and openly seeking forgiveness for those mistakes.
Unfortunately, some people don't understand that your mistakes are no worse than some of theirs in God's eyes. God will forgive anyone anything if they try their very best to change what was wrong. It's too bad people aren't as generous and loving as our God-
especially Christians who get to see God's love in action first hand. We so easily forget what the Lord has done for us.
I hope things begin to turn around for you and you find the forgiveness you're seeking. I'm glad to hear that your job's going well and it's cool that you'll be starting Dental Hygiene school!
Well... Daniel's starting his Air Traffic Control job in Denver, and before he can actually start, he has to go through 2 months of training in Oklahoma City. So after we're finished with training, we're moving on out to Denver. And we decided to go there because it's pretty and far away from a lot of things (or people) holding us back.
So I was fallowed tonight....
I was two minutes from my house when I noticed a truck parked with it's lights on, in the clearing off the side of the road, in the trees. It was like where they have the pipe lines and stuff.
A few seconds later I noticed those same head lights on the road and gaining on me.
I sped onto the first street on the way home. Made a speedy turn on the next and waited to see if it was still behind me.
Sure enough it was still gaining...
Made another speedy turn onto my street and sped into my drive way. Turned off my lights and parked. I waited to see if they were actually following me. Sure enough, there they were.
They sped down the end of my street and turned around, and left.
This is what I get for coming home at 1:30 in the morning...
Not going to lie, this is a lesson learned.
