Growing Pains and Triumphs

I'm not who I used to be and I'm not who I aspire to me. This is where I attempt to figure it all out ;)

Random



How spunky is that boy? :)
I am one blessed girl.

The interview last friday went really well. I hear on Wednesday if I get it. I REALLY hope I get it :P Though most of you will be aware of that by now ;)
I will be okay if I don't though *nods* God has plans. Good ones :)

And I have achieved so much with coming this far. Taking the initiative and the step to actually apply for the position when I didn't have to, and then going through two interviews with two different people. I never would have been able to do that
a few years ago. Actually I was thinking back to when I had my interview with Payless, and
am just amazed at the two completely different people of how I was in my Payless interview four
years ago, to how I have conducted myself in these ones. You just can't say that God doesn't transform when you look at my life.

J is booked for Thaliand :) It feels good knowing he is coming. Mind you, I am still petrified! But perhaps just on a lesser scale now ;) It will be wonderful to have him there, and I wouldn't want it any other way...now that we have grown together as a couple. I just wouldn't want to experience it without him.

We have family photos on Sunday. I will post my fav's soon :)

I will report with news when I have news!

Shoe Woman

Considering I've posted three blogs in the last week, it's surprising I haven't mentioned any of the following news!

  • I have finished my massage course. No you are not on candid camera, nor is there a new holiday called "October Fools Day". I have finished it. And it feels GOOD! And the point of the course was reached, that being that I now know whether I want to pursue Massage Therapy as a career, and I don't. So I will work my butt off up until Thailand, have a life changing experience over there, and come home hopefully with some idea of what I'm wanting to do from then.

  • Speaking of work, I did get a call back from Williams, and I went for an interview with the Manager last Thursday. It went extremely well, and I heard back today. I have a second interview with the district manager on Friday at 9.30am.
    EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
    I was stressing my little behind off all day until I heard. As in, I cried in the movie J and I saw...not because it was moving, but because I was so worried I wouldn't get a call! As much as I told myself not too, I think I have convinced myself I will get the job. It all just seems to fit so perfectly together and God has been opening doors left, right and centre and I do REALLY want it. I am generally rather blase when it comes to big things like this, and pretty much put it in God's hands and leave it there. I can want something, but am not desperate for it. This? I am desperate for. I want it with a passion. And to tell you truth...it's kind of nice to want something like this so much. I just need to remember that I still need and must put it in God's hands, and ask that His will be done...whatever that is. And leave it at that.

    I am just so ready to leave Payless. I have had enough of the politics and the people and the completely random hours. And yeah, I know I'm going to get the politics no matter what company I'm in, so don't go rainin' on my parade...I know, I know :P

  • I have no more points. I thought I had more than that. Oh well...that'll do pig, that'll do.

Consuming Fire

I'm not normally a fan of posting lyrics, but this song has caught me lately. And at risk of sounding like a 13 year old "emo" kid...the words largely describe where I am at. Maybe I will elaborate at a later stage, or maybe God will move in my heart and mind and this will be a fleeting memory of a time I was "stuck". I'm hoping and praying for the latter :)



There must be more than this,
O breath of God come breathe within,
There must be more than this,
Spirit of God we wait for You.

Fill us anew we pray,
Fill us anew we pray.

Consuming fire fan into flame,
A passion for Your Name,
Spirit of God fall in this place,
Lord have Your way,
Lord have Your way with us,

Come like a rushing wind,
Clothe us with power from on high,
Now set the captives free,
Leave us abandoned to Your praise.

Lord let Your glory fall,
Lord let Your glory fall.

Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
Stir it up in our hearts Lord,
A passion for Your Name.

Moving

What happens when one decides to cease the drought of Massage Therapy Course and dust off the books?

The procrastination returns!

Thus, I have a new e-mail address ;)

bethany.e.crowe@gmail.com

J uses it, and after sitting on his knee watching him navigate through gmail time after time, I have been lured in.

Suggested email-warming (do you get it? anyone..?) presents:
- a new pair of sunglasses
- window tinting for Noofy
- petrol vouchers
- (I was just kidding about the petrol vouchers, I would prefer..)..clothes vouchers

Achoo

Not a big post as I am hanging out for bed. Yay for throat infections and colds! Serves me right, I didn't exactly stay away from J while he was sick :P

I have applied for a 2IC position at Williams. If they don't ring back in the next few days, I will be shattered :P

Mum isn't well. Heading to a specialist tomorrow and will probably be in hospital tomorrow night. Nothing serious, she just need to be on an IV to clear her system out properly. Prayers would be great :)

Aaaaaand...life is still going. Love is still growing. And I'm enjoying every minute of it ;)
