When One Door Closes Another Opens

I have no idea where to start. I have not written in a really long time and I'm sorry. Life has been crazy busy and it has been a really interesting couple of months for me lately. I've been doing a lot of soul searching within myself trying to figure out who I am. I know a lot of people may think that is a bag of junk but I really am. I am working on strengthening my relationship with Jesus Christ and growing closer to Him!

I just finished my internship. It was an amazing experience. I think I will go back there to work this summer and I'm really excited. I had a hard time leaving there and everyone I had been working with declared they were sad to see me go and hoped I would come back soon! I spent the last month of my internship being a housekeeping supervisor and I had really started to connect with a lot of people there. Although it can be rough being a supervisor sometimes with dealing with cranky guests and rude guest room attendants, there is some bright days to it as well.

After putting over 10,000 miles on my car within a 6 month period, you can surely guess that I am always on the go and always up to something! I am so happy God blessed me with a car out here.

I'm in the midst of my spring break and have made a resolution to take a chill pill for the last three months of this 2008-2009 school year (amazing I know). I will be a junior this March and I am excited for that. I am going to keep my work study job and work about 10-15 hours a week with it. However, this may sound crazy, I am also working on testing out of three general education classes because testing out is a less expensive method and will save me about $6K in the long run if I succeed. I have resolved to pinch pennies and not get another job in order to relax, focus on school, enjoy life, and grow closer to God.

I have discovered some changes within myself lately and this has brought me to change churches. It is a huge thing I know and many question me why I am doing it. I appreciate prayers and concerns for me from those of you that are reading this and may be attending my old church in RI. I guess this is just part of something I need to do to discover who I am and everything.

I guess for lack of better words, I've been growing and experiencing various forms of growing pains. I have been very fortunate to have God bless me with some very loving, Christian women out here to help support me and guide me in the direction I need to go. I also am very appreciate of all the help and support my family has given me while I've been figuring things out with myself.

As for my spring break plans, I'm studying for my first test for sociology that I am testing out of, trying out new churches, relaxing, and possibly hitting up New York for a day with a good friend of mine. I will write again soon!
