The Countdown Begins!

WOW! Only 2 more days till I turn 21. I know it isn't really that big of a deal, but it is the way I have always been when it comes to birthdays. I guess its the kid that is still inside me!
Ok, so today I worked. It was so much fun! I love helping people decorate and pick out colors and fabrics and stuff! It is neat because people come in and tell me their ideas and then I begin to scheme with them! Like today, this lady came in and was so much fun! She knew what she was looking for and shared her ideas with me. I helped her find a beautiful fabric with a large print on it because she was decorating her bathroom and wanted the focal point to be the shower curtain! So, we just got to chattin and before we knew it I had helped her decided to pick out the pretty baby blue accent color to do on the walls and what color towels to use and it was just an absolute blast! Especially the feeling I got by helping this dear little lady make her house pretty! She came in with an idea, and left with a dream! She said she would be back next week when I am working and we could finalize everything together! I am so excited! I love my job!
Other than that my day has been pretty mundane except for that I came home and talked to my boyfriend and opened my mailbox and found, not one, but two birthday cards from his parents and sisters! It is such a blessing to have such sweet potential in-laws! Like sometimes it feels like a dream! I love his family and they love me. Like that doesn't always happen like that! I have been so blessed! The only way that life could possibly get better is if I got a phone call this instant from my parents saying that my mom's cancer has miraculously gone away. She has been through so much! She just finished chemo a year ago and not a year later is diagnosed with more ovarian cancer that they said is even more aggressive. It is really hard sometimes, but I am learning how much we need to lean on God and trust in Him for what ever happens. God has definately put me around very sweet people, though! People who are encouraging and who are just there when I need them! So, even through this trial I can still smile and know that my Lord and Savior is in control and won't give me andymore than I can handle! And he is the only one who can give me the strenth to get through! Ok, well, I guess thats it for my daily ramblings! Until next time......
