TVs & Lessons Learned

I can't believe it snowed...can you believe it? April 17th and Albuquerque gets snow. I find it absolutely gorgeous!!! I would probably love it if the heater in our house wasn't broken.

Yesterday Brent put our taxes to good use and bought us a 37" LG flat screen TV. Yes, we're excited. You see, we could live with our tube TV but the color is literally going out in some spots because it is old. It's purplish in the right top hand corner. So it was a blessing from God that we could get a new TV. And a new entertainment center or TV stand, whichever, will be coming with it. Yay! Because it will match our brown furniture!!! haha...I know, I'm silly. It's not important whether it matches, but I like the fact that it will.

For anyone who doesn't know, or doesn't have Facebook and hasn't read my status updates. I got a new job. I think of it more as a career opportunity then a job though. I will soon be working at the Flying Star Cafe on Paseo and Wyoming. I say career opportunity because I am a culinary arts student, emphasis on baking, and a cafe is just where I want to be! I will start as a server and prayfully move up to baking!!! Yay! God is so good.

Before going to apply for the opportunity, I talked to Brent for about 45 minutes about how God has been teaching me about contentment in my daily devotionals. And patience too. I told Brent, and God, I am totally content at JCPenneys, no matter how much patience I'll have to practice. Brent said that it would be a good idea to still apply, not expecting it to happen but not expecting it not to happen. And it happened! Lesson learned: BE CONTENT! God knows what the desires of your heart are. He hears your every plea. But until you learn to be still and know that He is God, He might decide to teach you a thing or two. Also, God knows your needs and your wants. He will supply needs first, wants second. It might be hard to accept, but once you do, He blesses.
