Nightmare becomes Reality

Where should I begin this story?  Well, first, I am Obsessive Compulsive when it comes to my wake-up alarm.  I check it at least five times before I go to bed.  Is is set for the right hour? AM or PM? is the volume high enough? etc.,

I worked this morning from 6-2 which means my alarm was set to go off at 5am.¬† So, this morning I am lying in bed “hmmm, I wonder what time it is.”¬† “I checked my alarm last night and it hasn’t gone off yet.”¬† “Let met just make sure.”¬† So I get up and walk across the room to my dresser to pick up my phone.¬† … “where is my phone?”¬† “Oh NO!” “PHONE!!!!”¬† So, I ran frantically to the kitchen to find a clock¬† “6:22!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”¬† “NO!!!!!!!”¬† “WHERE IS MY PHONE!!!”¬† … It was in my bed, under the covers!!!!!! ¬† “I’m supposed to be at work, and I have the key to get in!¬† somebody is waiting out in the cold!¬† Oh no!”¬† I text my manager “just woke up.¬† running to work”¬† No lie! I ran out of the dorm.

So, I make to to work, and guess what.¬† My opener isn’t there!!!¬† She thought she worked later in the day and didn’t open.¬† So finally, we both are at work and have 20 minutes to get the store ready to open!¬† Praise God we made it!

But my story isn’t finished!

The GM was supposed to come in today at 8am. She lives kind of far away and needs to take the 210E to get to Pomona.  If you have heard any traffic reports this morning you heard about the major accident on the 210E that caused two fatalities, well she had to sit in that traffic.  Two hours after she was supposed to be at Subway she finally made it!

So I don’t know how in the world it was possible, but all three of us were late!¬† We all had our own issuse, but it made for a very intersting morning.

“I feel like an Apple!”

For those of you that know me really well, you know that there are times when I tell you “I feel like an apple!”¬† And it is so true!¬† About a week and half ago I gave myself a lovely bruise on my knee… I wasn’t even doing anything stupid!¬† Well, needless to say, I still have a bruise!

Almost three years ago I discovered that I had celiac disease.¬† I don’t think I can put into words how I felt.¬† There are so many adjectives! …scared, frightened, shocked… okay so they all have the same general meaning.¬† I couldn’t imagine what my life would be like. I knew that there was no cure, just a way to prevent the symptoms… but that didn’t set my mind at ease.¬† I wrestled with God for the longest time.¬† “How dare He give this to me!”¬† I thought.¬† “God, please take it away!” was my plea.

God taught me so much those first few months!¬† I learned that He is always in control – even where my health is concerned.¬† I taught me that He is able to provide my daily bread… a really ironic thing to consider.

Sometimes I still feel like an apple, and there are days when I get really sick.  But it is on those days that God reminds me to place my trust in Him and rely on His strength.. not mine.

So, what is the purpose of this post…

Don’t feel sorry for me, please!¬† God has used this to bring me closer to him.

Second, don’t worry if you accidentally asked me if I want cookies, spaghetti, or anything like that… I won’t be offended.

Midterms, Missions Intensive, and Spring Break

Mid terms was last week.  I had four midterms and two projects due.  I think I did ok on everything.

This past week was Missions Intensive.  Our Teacher was Bro. Jim Smith, who is an Associate Missions Director for the BBFI and a former missionary to Ecuador. 

I have more Subway stories!¬† I won’t bore you with them though, but let‚Äôs just say that they know how to keep me busy.

This week is SPRING BREAK!!!!!¬† I’m not going home but am staying in LA to work and get lots of homework done.¬† ¬† Hopefully sometime during the week I will be able to update everyone one how productive I am being on my homework.
