embarrassing moment # bazillion

so as u are probably guessing i had another embarrasing moment. this time it was at work... just listen..
so im all happy cause work is going well and my boss asks me if can set up the new pop display and fill all the pop holders. i hate filling pop holders cause they are slanted and so annoying. but yeah, so my boss drags this huge thing of two litre pops that i have to put out and its covered in this hard saran wrap type stuff. so, being me, i start hacking at it with my dull exacto knife. i accidently slip and....
chop my finger off!!!
JUST KIDDING!
no it hits one of the two litres and in a split second i hear a fizz and im wet. yes the pop decided to explode all over my uniform. i ended up having to go 5 more hours wet, sticky, and smelling like diet coke.. yumm... thats my story

p.s. please pray for our family and destiny tomorrow. its her court date. nothing may happen though. we have no clue. thanks

oh and also two litre pops at my work (the store brand) are on for $0.89 each.. lol

update!

hi guys, yeah its definatly been awhile! life has been busy as usual... but its been nice. God has answered my prayers yet again. as most of u know i was struggling with deciding whether to work or not. the next day after i posted that prayer request, my mom sat me down and talked to me about work. i told her that i realllllly wanted a car and how was i supposed to get one without a job??? well... she said that i could use the family car, the van.. and when i learned to drive a standard i could drive dad's car. so that solved that. but also i wanted money to spend and what not as well. but God told me that he would provide and that after coming home from mexico he had told me that i needed time to listen to him and to spend time with him. so how was i supposed to have a job, do piano, guitar and all my other stuff and spend time with God. I don't wante to fit God in, i want to buil everything around my time with him.
anyways, so that is that.
this morning before work i was reading my devotions on the internet and one stuck out for me. here is the verse...
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained. Philippians 3:13-15 (NIV)
what this verse is talking about is that it doesn't matter what kind of past you have had. God loves you and will forgive you. He gave his only son up so that we could live life to the fullest. He doesn't want us to sit around at think about all the bad things we've done. He wants us to live.
well i better go for now, work is calling my name unfortunatly. talk to you all soon!

Destiny

well Destiny is my little foster sister as most of you know. shes a sweetheart and is a big part of my life now. i've been thinking about her a lot and its funny how this little person can come into your life and you can bond with them and fall in love with them so easily. at first when she came into my life i wasn't sure about having a baby around, there would be no more late night driving for my parents and things were going to be a little more busy. but i have gotton used to it by now and it would feel weird for her not to be around. sure its a little annoying when shes screaming at the dog because she won't lick her hand at 5:00 am...
anyways, the reason im talking about her is because her court date is conming up. there is a 50% chance that the court may just give us another date because everyone might not be ready or they could get right into it and say that shes either going to stay with us or going to another family for adoption.
i never really thought of the possibility of Destiny ever leaving us but it has hit me hard the past few days that she might not be waking me up at 5:00 am every morning, sticking her sticky fingers through my hair...
even though we aren't blood related i can't help not loving her like my sister. i hope that she gets to stay with us but i don't want to be selfish. i know that God has her in his hands and that he will take care of her wherever she goes. can you guys please pray for Destiny and our family.
hope everyones haveing a good summer.

grrrr

well the retreat is not a "yes" for me. and why i can not go is because of two things. One is work. i don't work the Friday but i do work on the Saturday in the early morning. I also have to be at the church by about 7:30 on Sunday and i think having to get up that early have been at work the previous day is going to be hard enough but i think that the reatreat would tire me out even more! it sucks that i can't come though because i wasn't able to go on the winter one either, so i've missed out on two in a row. and the reatreat was my only "camping" for the summer. oh well, i guess theres always next winter and summer. So what have all u guys been up to. I asked my boss for less shifts so i can actually have a life outside of work... because i do! but yeah... other than that nothing much else is happening. hopefully ill talk to some of u soon! congrats on the job enji...lol
