Oh how things change!

Guess who has 2 interviews---> THIS girl!!! Tomorrow Morning at 10:00 a.m. is the first interview at the Blue Bell Ice Cream Company- how awesome is that?!! Second Interview will be this upcoming Monday at a Law Firm- to say that I am excited is an understatement!!!


My mind is already overwhelmed with visions of decorating my new office, buying new folders, pens, new office outfits, etc. I am excited to see what kind of office space that I will be working with {Obviously not as big as the spaces that I have in the photos below-but I love the color schemes!}

{Obviously a bit much, but so pretty!}



I've got to tell you, last week when I felt like giving up- I think it took me just saying, "okay God, I am giving this over to you, I don't know what else to do. You are the only one who can help me now."  Now I just have to pray for God to let me get the job that will be right for me! Thanks again to all of the prayers- I really appreciate all of you.



“Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning”
{I'm borrowing this quote from one of my blog readers who left the sweetest comment last week..and she was right!}

On the brink of giving up..

I'm that girl who is always so strong, with a smile on my face even when I am dying inside. I have been so strong the past four months with the husband and I both not having jobs and waiting on our house to sell while the bills keep adding up. Everyday I just keep praying and believing that GOD has a plan for us, I stay positive and always try and find the small things to be thankful for.

Some days though it's not easy..I have difficult days where I find myself depressed and losing hope. We put in Resume after Resume, we have the job experience, the education- so why?? Yesterday was one of those days, I was sad, angry and just didn't understand why things were turning out this way and honestly I just gave up..I cried and then I got on my knees and prayed to GOD to please help us. I cried some more then I finally drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, I just assumed it would be just another day of applying for jobs, making calls, etc. But the hubby comes up to me with his phone and shows me an email that says "You fit the job qualifications, please email your resume and cover letter as soon as possible"- I felt a surge of hope..that's all I needed was just a little bit of hope to keep me going. I'm not sure if my husband will be hired for this job, but I have full faith, believing that if it is the job for him, then GOD already has it all worked out.

It was when I was at the end of my rope telling God that I couldn't do it anymore and I was out of strength and faith and I needed his help and his strength to hold me up. I feel like this was his way of telling me to just lean on him and he would take care of everything..."The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him"

Have you ever lost hope in something and given up?

My Favorite Christmas Gifts!

I realize that we are already in the middle of January, but I wanted to do a quick post on some of my favorite Christmas gifts. So here goes!


My SIL & BIL bought the husband and I a Capresso Froth Pro for Christmas. When we visited them for Thanksgiving in November, I had an espresso with steamed milk and fell in love with it! I have been using it everyday- if you like Lattes, you will love this little gadget!

 

 

 

 

 

 

{I sold my Vitamix & Blendtec this year, so the hubby bought me another blender- perfect for my Green Smoothies!}

 

 

 

I was really set on an iPhone but heard from several Tech Geeks {including my husband} about the iPhone being so high maintenance with all of the updates- so the hubby got me an Android phone for now- I love it! So happy that I now have my FB, Blogger, Instagram, Starbucks and Kindle apps!

 

My brother and his wife surprised us with this $25 Starbucks Gift Card {they know how much we love SB!} and a Bear ornmanent with "P" for Pollard- so cute!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Loved my Stocking Stuffers- GUD Lotion & Body Spray, Jewelry and my Tumbler- thanks hubby!
