So I've been stressed lately since I'm not getting many hours at work and I need $$ for school in the fall. And because I'm a stay-at-home kid now because of it. So I've been having some conversations with my Heavenly Father about this situation. And my answer came yesterday and today. I talked to work again and they have a COUPLE different openings that they want to try me out in. All are full-time! :D And two would last however long I want to work there. OR I can be a long-term sub (they already have people scheduled for 2 week vacations that I can fill in for). Either way, I have a job until May or June!!
And I've also kind of been feeling alone. Because: I don't get out of the house much, and if I do I only go to work (where I'm with kids all day OR to the family ward). So I've really been missing the Singles Branch. Well, Heavenly Father and I have been talking about that too.. And Mom surprised Tabby and I yesterday by saying that she's taking us to Singles on Sunday! I'm so blessed!!
Oh! I almost forgot the BEST news of the day! Yes, I'm excited that I get a full-time job and that I'm going to Singles on Sunday but.. So yesterday instead of just staying at the house, I went to the library. And I was doing family history work, because I've decided that's my mission in life. Well.. I have about 25 or so names ready for the temple!!! :D
Yesterday I had a really cool experience, though. I was updating information about some of my Dad's ancestors.
My dad has a Book of Remembrance and he has LOTS of handwritten info about his ancestors. So I've been going back and checking to make sure all their information is entered into http://www.new.familysearch.org/ . Well, I found some really golden ancestors. Yesterday, I was able to ADD several of my Dad's ancestor's that were not in the system yet. AND I was able to find the one ancestor that my Dad and his sister have been looking for for YEARS! :D
Dad picked me up from the library after he got off work and I told him that I'd been doing family history stuff online. So he asked me, just to see if I had any information at all, if one of the names happened to be Junia Lathrop. Well.. That was one of the main people I had been working on. AND we found out that another user on the site was already planning on taking his name to the temple. I was smiling for the rest of the day because of that.
Heavenly Father sure does have perfect timing. He blessed me so much yesterday. I think He sent me those blessings so that I'd take the potentially not-so-great news as well as I did. I'm not going to put much about it on here because we don't know much yet. One of the family members is having some tests done and we're hoping that the tests don't mean anything serious is happening. I'll be sure to let you know whether it's serious or not. But please keep my family in your prayers. (:
It was great to see you on Sunday!
