What's up journal?

Here I am again, two months later. I'm glad to say that much has changed since then. I feel like I'm growing in spirit. Few things I would like to mention at this junction. Got baptized for the second time in my life a few weeks ago. A recommitment to God, the only sure thing in this crazy life. I feel blessed and lucky. Got a new job, working two jobs actually, finally got into a class I've been trying to get into, given it is costing me an arm and a leg to attend class there, with books, parking, etc. BUUUTTT, I'm still grateful. Sister turned 25, I know old. Mom is still hassling her to lose weight, I guess that hasn't changed.

So yes, I went through and began helping this girl out, with her English. I was planning on meetin her in person, but just as I was about to, I got this new job and was unable to see her in person. I have been helping her out with her questions through email. We ended up getting together for dinner about a month ago. She's very cute, respectful, but their is a deep seated pain in her.

The Lord works in mysterious ways, yes. She started coming to my church and is even volunteering to work at a sunday school teacher. She needs a community of people she can rely on, because she's going through some extremely tough personal circumstances. I wish her the absolute best, and I feel so great about being the person that has helped her find the community that hopefully she has been looking for.

Life Lesson. Take a risk once in a while. It pays off.
