And all I want in this whole world is You.

My week was a rollercoaster. That’s probably an understatement. I can’t even remember half of the stuff that happened. Work has been pretty good. We have a ton of new activities and a couple new people in our team, so it’s been a lot of fun. I love the fact that where I work is a timeshare, because that means we get to know a lot of the kids and their families. It has its disadvantages (like when we get a difficult family), but it’s totally worth it for the ones who are sweet.

I met a family with a little boy who was autistic. They were super sweet. I really enjoyed having them around. I also have enjoyed having Francesca and Luca around. There was a kid named Jonah too that was keeping me pretty entertained yesterday. He asked a family from Denmark if they spoke “Denmarkian”. He had me laughing really hard. It was great.

Anyways, I could really use some prayer right now. I have two big bug bites on my legs. At first I thought they were ant bites because I get those a lot. But then they started swelling up pretty big. Jillian thinks it’s a spider bite. I had to leave work today because of it. It’s starting to feel a little better, but it still hurts and it’s still pretty big. I’m going to the nurse at work tomorrow to get it checked out. There is one on my other leg, but it’s not quite as big. It’s just really annoying. I’ve never had an allergic reaction to anything so it’s psyching me out a little bit.  I’m sure I will be fine though. I always am. It just kind of freaks me out. I just took Benedryl a little bit ago so that should be kicking in soon and then I’ll pass out.

 Moving on…

My life is a huge journey trying to find where God wants me. He’s given me some answers, but I feel like there’s so much more that I need to do in my life. I have so much to be thankful for and I feel like my heart has so much love to give. I’m looking forward to some really wonderful things coming up and I’m determined to not let anything stop me. I’ve been torn down a lot lately by certain people- people who I thought were friends, people who have been talking about me on facebook and think that I don’t know they are talking about me, people who have stood me up, people who talk behind my back. But I have come to the realization that God is stronger than all of them and any of the devil’s attack methods. I’m still learning how to not get upset with things. Lately I have been rolling my eyes a lot and I’ve been taking a lot of deep breaths. I know that God is for me and I know that He has His Hands on my life and on my heart. I will continue to show my love to everyone who is harsh and just learn to let go of the pain. Forgiveness is a gift from God and it’s something He’s working with me on. And I’m learning how to handle certain types of people. I’m pretty easygoing. I get along with most people. But sometimes there are the ones that knitpick at every single thing I do or like to talk down to me. That’s when I have a hard time- especially when they try and make me feel stupid. I know I am not stupid. I know who I am. I have very little patience for peope who like to act like I’m stupid. I don’t understand why people have to be so mean. Sigh. Like I said, God is working on me. I am very thankful for the people who support me and who love me no matter what. I have been greatly blessed and I could never be able to thank God enough.

Today I am having dinner with Deepa. I can’t wait to see her. I haven’t seen her for over two months now. It’ll be a good time to catch up. I love her to pieces.

I really want to pick up a shift at Disney but I haven’t had a chance to. I’m hoping the second week of August I will be able to.

The tickets for Night with the Chapmans go on sale this week! Ahhh! I’m ecstatic! I get to go with my Bentley girls. It’s going to be a wonderful adventure.

I also have to buy a Christmas tree this week.
