Today is Saturday, July 11. I have now been unemployed for two weeks. I must say I do not enjoy the job search experience. It is not fun but a test in endurance for sure. I have the possibility of one job. But don't know for sure yet. I have enjoyed my time off but managing my time is another story. It is definately difficult to do wisely. I have stayed very busy just doing things I enjoy and going to lunch with girlfriends. God is teaching me many things these days. Mostly self discipline. He has asked me to give up things and is also adding new things to my list of things to do. I am taking classes at the carnegie center on writing and am enjoying that very much. I am learning alot about critiquing and what to look for. My group is a very friendly group and very accepting of everyone. I am currently working on writing a piece my mother has asked me to write, for their 50th wedding anniversary, that is coming up in Aug. That will be interesting. With 50 years and 7 kids it may be difficult to keep that one short. I will soon be writing my testimony also. I think everyone should write theirs for their children if for no other reason. Then I intend to start piecing together the book God has laid on my heart to write. That will no doubt be a lengthy endeavor. But I am anxious to start on it. I need to finish this so I can manage my time better. I will write more later. Hope you all have a great weekend.
