| Hi everyone!
I know i am not on here nor face book as much anymore...truth is i am too tired and no time right now. But i'll update now that i finally have an evening off. I am still working at WalMart doing maintenance on the night shift and the one lady who trained me for her job went on vac to Fla to Orlando for 7 days and then had her usual two days (Tues and Wed) off so i worked 9 days in a row. I have off tonight and tomorrow night, work Sat night and have off Mon-Tues and then go back to Tues -Sat unless she takes off again for some reason. When i work Tues-Sat and she's doing her job, the i help the other 3-4 guys with the dust mopping, mopping, scrubbing (using a scrub machine) and buff (using the buffer). It's quite a job keeping the entire store floor constantly clean, being it's open 24 hrs and people shop just as much at night as they do during the day. Wherever you live, the next time you go to a WM and see the floors...lol, think of me and how i help keep ours clean here in FDL Wisc.
Think about how nice it is to walk on and look at a clean floor and see shelves stocked...and think of our store!
I love my job so much and God is really using me to be his light and witness to others there, which blesses me in return.
My husband has applied for so many online aps (incl WM) and the local Johnson school bus company sent him an app in the mail for him to fill out other info and he took is back yesterday and they called tonight to say when he gets his license renewed for Wisc. and brings it in, they'll talk with him. So please say a prayer.
I still miss my mom everyday and cry almost daily. It's so hard to lose someone you lvoe and even though you know they are in a better place, you also know your not getting them back ever again, so all you have is memories to live on.
Well, another good part about working all night is i am losing weight...hallelujah...don't know how much, don't have a scale, but as soon as i can afford one, i'll get one...haven't been on a scale since having been out of the Army work in Oct. The moment i begin mopping , vacuuming or shampooing, i sweat like crazy. I come home, eat breakfast, go to bed for 6-9 hrs (not eating all day obviously...so i'm not gaining weight by eating meals and snacking in between them all day) and then eat a little supper before going to work. I work 2 and a1/2 hrs then have a pop and sometimes a candy bar or something else for a snack at 12:30 am, work another hour and a half hrs go on 'lunch' break at 2 am and eat a sandwich and an applesauce or pudding, work for another hr and a half, go to our morning meeting @ 4 am, then on a break and drink water or the rest of my pop and snack on one more item and then go back to work until 6:30 am. All in all i work 8 hrs a night, get two 15 minute breaks and one half hour lunch break.
I looked up 1200 calorie diets/meals on the web and saw some really good ones and will be printing them off as soon as my husband gets his printer out of his storage.
Anyways, i feel good about myself and accomplishing my goal of slowly losing weight and working it off in what i do, to lose it.
Well, that's my update...oh yeah, it's been coooold here. They had to cancel school two days in a row due to13 below weather.
GBU all!

| in the case that any of you are wondering if i am still alive and kicking...lol, i assure you i am. been very busy working nights at WalMart and trying to get as muhc sleep as i can during the day while also getting other things done as well. i absoluetly love my job at WM as God is using my smile and laughter to get people to talk who normally wouldn't and to smile who normally wouldn't...!!  had a wonderful Christmas with my siblings at my apt (along with my husband and daughter who was able to come home from college), as each of us siblings got each other and the nephews and our one niece a gift and we had christmas dinner, read a poem, prayed and opened gifts. it was one of the best Christmases i'll never forget. it was so hard without our mom there. we cried. God has been, still is and will always be good and pour many blessings out as i/we all, receive them! GBU! | | |
| PTL i got a job working at Wal Mart night shift maintenance. Tues is my first day of work attending an orientation from 9-5 in which i get paid for. praise God!!!! now we'll see about an apt...i looked at one on Fri and the lady didn't want to get my hopes up until she knew i had a job...which i hadn't yet on Fri...God worked it out today and the lady about the apt told me she'd call me on Monday, i called her today and left a message, so we shall see! please say a prayer!!! | | |
| Truthful/honest... I want to be truthful and honest about something only to show how GOOD and AWESOME God truly is when we TRUST in HIM through trials and difficulties. Through some circumstances of my own doings, my husband and i had been terminated from the work in Oct...just before coming home when my mom passed away. He had decided to leave me at that time and after my moms funeral on the 21st he took our daughter back to college and went to live with his parents in Rochester and me with my family in FDL, Wi. Meanwhile..i have been getting counseling once a week face to face and over the phone and in being away from my husband and losing the work (not ministry) and all that goes with that, God has really changed me around big time. Hopefully you'll understand this next part...God brought me to palce where i've been 'alone' in a sense, without a husband and mom and work and "I" have had NO control of my life, but God HAS had total control and because of that my attitude towards God, my husband and life have changed 100%. It's amazing when God takes you out of and away from your 'securities' and 'comfort' zones to face consequences, how he works in and through the bad to make it good. That's how GOOD and AWESOME God is. I don't know how else to explain it. I'm actually happy and content because God is in control..not me. Working at Wm in the maintenance on night shift will be exciting for me because out of all the apps i filled out and interviews i've had WM was the ONLY one to hire me, must be what God wanted hallelujah! I had two interviews with them in one day (which is their policy to do to) and now i have to go get a certain test done to test for drugs (again, store policy) and when that comes through ok then i'll be ok to go...i'll go through orientation and begin working PTL! Anyways..my husband came to visit me this weekend and it was the BEST weekend we had in 19 years of marriage...yes, you read right... we talked and talked and talked and it was soooo wonderful and PTL he has decided to move and live and work here in FDL with me, so as soon as my job is a get go and i find an apt, he will come...please pray for this. He has also applied for work at WM. God showed me while my husband was here that in the past in our marriage i viewed everything as all about me...i truly did, and now it's all about God and my hsuband and it feels wonderful!!! Hallelujah! I will also be working on a counseling/social work degree in the next two years, to become a Christian counselor...perhaps in the Army or whatever God has willed and planned. Our daughter stated she has been called to be an officer and we are very proud of her, so please keep that in prayer. she is currently at a Christian college right now, but feels unhappy and unsettled...God is calling her! So anyways, we're never out of God's reach at ANYTIME in our lives, he always knows whats going on...the key to it all is to stick close to him and let him take the reigns and handle our lives. Now to those of you who know my husband and i you may be in shock..please don't be...we're not...we have taken the approach to this that God is good ALL the time and knows what is best for our lives at all times. We still attend the Army, me here and him in Minn and then he'll join me here..and whatever God holds in the future for us is totally in his control and in his hands. | | |
