new life new year

wow what a ride 2009 was, very bad stuff, good stuff, and learning along the way.
god has brought me to eau claire wi. to start a new life with god. my church valleybrook has helped me so much and i have wonderful people in my life now. im not sure what god is calling me to do yet but im listening. I got a new job and London day spa and salon its amazing all organic, very relaxing services I love it. after a year of soulsearching, a painful divorce, (which now i relize what a marriage is and that it wasn't my fault what happened, and i got married way to young and met the wrong person) so god shut that door and opened new ones. and yes im dating again after a year, i met him at church and hes amazing deft. see what being taken care of is now and how it takes two and not just one like i did for a long time. so god bring on 2010 im ready!!!!

listening to god

so this week has been super hard (well the whole year has been super hard) I got laid off for a week and hours cut by 12 at the salon and really feels god is telling me its time to leave black river falls and move to eau claire. praying for some clarity and luck with Jobs and a place to live.

Valleybrook's womens retreat 2009

WOW!!! what a weekend of laughing, healing, eating, enjoying god with my female church community can't wait to see what god does in some of these womens lives and mine!!! I am very thankful for my church community

baptism may 2009

I forgot I had these pictures, well Ive always believed in god and yes some people might ask why are you getting baptized? didn't you do that as a baby? and yes i did. but that was for my parents and not for me. the reason I chose to do this is because I have given up my life to god and hes in control not me. and yes I still have my struggles but I have god to go to help me thru. this was a nervous thing and a good feeling. my life will never be the same after this. than you to my friends/pastors at valleybrrok church Mary, Doug, and Matt for doing this

Moving to eau claire hopefully by June 2010. going to look for a part time Job 2 or 3 days a week, plus the salon, plus Surface hair stuff in the near future, Going to be Tired and no one will ever see me lol. but I need to save money For a down payment on a condo or townhome in EC. and my parents and I are putting up my house for sale with there land and I can use the equity from that to a condo or townhome. so as of mon. look for a part time Job, and save up For the next 9 months. God please be with me and give me direction I trust you.
