"Point"ing out

Point 1> I am really enjoying being a customer service manager for Wal-mart, believe it or not. I was afraid I would be overwhelmed, but God has blessed me. I couldn't do it without Him!

Point 2> I just filled out the paperwork for my new job yesterday. I'm hoping to start Saturday. I'll be a community skills trainer for an adult man with special needs. I cannot express how excited I am about it!

Point 3> I'm trying to get my foot in the door to volunteer at Camp Connect, a local one-week camp for children with autism spectrum disorders. I have turned in my application and all is well through my communications with the administrator. They seem excited to have me on board, though I don't think their enthusiasm can even compare to my own!

Point 4> Stella looks mangier than ever. I have her nearly shaved bald in places, all but one leg is skinny, but I have yet to touch her head or tail. Therefore, she is a poofball with eyes, a stick body, stick legs, and a poofball backside! Like two pom poms on a bar. I'm sure it is stylish and adorable...somewhere.

Point 5> My car is in the shop under repair. I am trapped at home! I'm unsure what is in store for me tomorrow (I have to be at work in the morning), but God has provided transportation thus far. Shortly, I will have a sparkly clean and pretty car--without a dent.

Point 6> I'm trying to lose weight. Five pounds so far this week. It's not coming off as fast as it did my last attempt. :(

Point 7> I reinstated my facebook account due to missed game nights. Everyone forgot I no longer had facebook, so they only invited via the internet profiling site. I guess I need to keep up with the times.

Point 8> The closest I've ever come to a country other than the U.S.: I just drank a glass of apple juice made from apples in the USA, Argentina, China, and Poland.

Point 9> Anna and I baked cookies and bought tennis shoes yesterday. I had a lot of fun with her; she is a special young woman who I am blessed to call friend!

Snickerdoodlemen are much tastier than Snowmen. Trust me.

Point 10> I am facing some things right now that I need to overcome, but I cannot do it alone. It is hard for me to ask for help. I don't want to bother others, and I feel like my problems are so small--too small to bring before the Lord. That isn't true, though, and I know it. My independent spirit has not been broken yet, and that is the first step to victory. I need Jesus to help me. This is a lot more serious than my other random "points," and perhaps that is why it is last. Your prayers are coveted.
