Work, School, Life and Such

I am enjoying my new position here at iPlace as the Senior tech (since I am the only Tech I am basically my own boss ;-). The responsibilities can be overwhelming at times but God keeps reminding me that I need to depend on Him and not so much on my own skills (or lack thereof).

Many of you asked me about CVS. CVS is still around (we are btw open 24/7 :P ). But no seriously I am still on the payroll which is nice! I will work there once every month or so. This way if I need some extra hours I can call my boss and let him know of my needs.

I am sitting out of school this semester. Even with my full-time job and new position at work I still don’t think I can come back in January but I reserved a spot anyway since I am trusting the Lord to take care of me :). I only have 26 credits left so I am really hoping to get that one full semester done in the Spring and that way I can finish up being a part time student in the fall :-). It’s sad to see everyone graduate before me even though I started earlier but I am not in any rush and some of us students just have to take it more slowly because of finances :). It is all about God’s perfect timing.

As far as such is concerned… I keep attending church, reading my Bible and pray :-). Life is good and even though we aren’t in heaven yet God still gives us a chance to enjoy our lives while we wonder upon this earth :P.

Here I Go

Well yesterday was my coworkers last day at work. So I am the new “head” of the service department here at iPlace. I think I can handle it ;). But the next step in this “transition” process is getting myself certified. So August 8th and 9th I am going to take 3 exams total. I am going for my Apple Portable Certification, Apple Desktop Certification and Apple OS Certification. Just pray that I will pass all 3 exams because that is kinda essential in my line of work ;). But meanwhile I got to study…

Update On My Life

So here is just a small summer update and just a general note on life. I’m still working at CVS and iPlace and will continue doing so. I am not ready to go back to school financially so pray for me. I’m not in a rush…so whatever the Lord has for me this fall is fine with me.

This summer has been such a long summer. I’ve only been here in G-vegas doing the same old thing every week but still it feels like I have done so much. Where do I start? Well for one my dad, step-mom and step-brother (Harmen) came and visit me from holland. My sister also came seperately with one of her kids (Bryony) from Holland to visit us. I haven’t been in Holland for 4 years now and so I got homesick big time when I had to say goodbye to my family when they had to return back to Holland. It was hard but then I remembered all the good friends from school and church I have here.

Anyway now here comes the hard part. I have a lot of mixed feelings between being homesick, finishing school, friends and the future. It seems at times I understand where I am coming from and where I am going to….but then something comes along the way and trips me up!?! I just don’t get it at times.I felt like everything was going my way and then BOOM it’s gone. I sometimes question why I came here to the States just to see my life being screwed up! But then again going back to my past isn’t the solution either, it feels like I’m stuck between a rock and hard place. But why would I question God? He brought me here for a reason and then I think about all the good things He brought in my life while being here :).
So I leave my current circumstances in God’s hands but what about the future? I got pretty much nothing planned which really scares me. I have these “what if” questions in my head. But then again why should I worry about things that hasn’t even happened yet? I guess letting go of the past, present and future and let God is the only conclusion I can come to when looking at my life =).
