The Confoundments of Life

I think that's a word isn't it? I think it means mysteries. I would go look it up but I don't feel like it. So what has been happening in my life lately? Well lots of stuff has been going on, issues with parents and in my own life. God always remains faithful to me though. At the time it doesn't feel like it to me, but then I look back and see that He is. He promised He would be, why do I always doubt that?

On Saturday it was the first Saturday in about 6months that I didn't work in the afternoon, and it was awesome. I had a short half an hour nap and then went out. I also spent some much needed time with oneof my best friends. It was good to catch up with her again. And I gave her her birthday present and her birthday was almost 2 months ago! I was just super slow getting it and getting it to her.

Sunday I had church, went out for lunch with a bunch of the youth girls and Ashley. It was quite crazy. on the way home they ended up singing some 100 centennial song for Saskatchewan and almost shattering my eardrums. Ouch! Adn they opened the windows so people could hear as we drove by. I don't know why I even admit that I know these people, they can be so embarassing. Lol. just kidding. I love you guys! You're a whole lot of fun. Then I had went home and was tired, tryed doing homework but ended up having another half hour nap. And then I walked to the pool, it wasn't far, and had Inservice which I basically just going over skills and stuff. So we had to do a Timed Tow, get the brick off the bottom, submerged victim, pia carry (don't ask), and we did a whole bunch of Spinals. Adn then we did Situations, practicing vitals and secondary assesments, and our lifeguard public relations skills when dealing with incidents. That's right! I have skills.

So my hours for the spring aren't great. I'm only workin on average 12 hours a week and I really wanted to work 20-25. But I'm trusting that God is taking care of me. He knows what is going to happen and what He is doing. I am so blessed to have this job really. Last summer I didn't even think I was going to have a job but at the beginning of June I was called and they need to hire about 4 more lifeguards. And so I had an interview and went to a New Hire day where you also have to do fitness skills, and I was one of the four that got hired! So I thank God all the time for that. I've almost had this job for a year. Scheduling and stuff can be a pain, and also getting time off of work but it's really one of the best jobs you can have. I hope to be working a lot in the summer though. Save for school and a car if I will need one. My parents have always wanted to move onto an acreage. They are always looking but have never found one yet. I know it's bad of me but I hope they don't. i don't want to move. Even if it's 20 or 30 minutes outside of the city. I don't know what would be more beneficial to me. Get a car or stay in the city. A car would cost less, I know that. I just would hate with a passion to be far from friends and church and all that. i think I would go insane. I'd probably also never be home so maybe it wouldn't be a huge problem. But whatever. I'm getting ahead of myself. I don't even know if they will ever find one so.....

So I get to have school till the end of July! Won't that be fun. I'm taking a directed learning course from CPC starting at the end of April. Adn I alos have a computer class online through the U of S until the end of May. I started out thinking this class wouldn't be that bad, but I'm starting not to like it so much. At least I know I most likely don't want to go into computer programming.

I took guitar lessons for a couple months but I'm finding that I dont'have a lot of time to practice so I will probably quit soon. Things are just going to get crazier plus in May I start work on Wednesday nights when my lessons is. I just think I could learn more if I get a couple books and just learn what I want to learn at my own pace, not wasting money if I dont'practice. I wrote another song a couple weeks ago. I see myself improving at this song writing thing, comparing the one I just wrote with other ones that I wrote almost a year ago. Adn I really like this one a lot, the melody and the lyrics.

Well that's all for now folks! I sound like elmer fudd or whoever it is at the end of Looney Tunes. haha...anyways, I feel really tired even though I slept 9 and a half hours last night. Maybe it's the lack of sleep the past week and weekend.
