I really want another job...but until then....

I MUST make the best of my situation. God has put me in this place, at this time, for a certain reason. I don't know it yet, or why, and may never know why, but I have got to give this to God or it is going to ruin my life!! I am not going to talk about work anymore in my blogs, as it really brings me down and seems to be all I can focus on, which it should NOT be!!!
I made some apple butter yesterday, and I am so proud of it!!! It is beautiful, and tastes great also! This was the first time I tried this, and it turned out wonderful!! I didn't can it, though, I just put it in clean jars and refrigerated it. There wound up being one full pint jar, a half full pint jar, and then 4 1/2 pint jars. I won't need to make jam/ jelly/ preserves or butters for a whole year....but figs are coming soon, and I really want to make a "butter" from figs to use in homemade fig newtons later!!! My tomatoes have kinda died out, and all the other stuff in the garden,too...but the soil was not the best anyway, and I have got my compost bucket going, and I have three others to make, so next years garden should be going great guns!!!!

Well, I am going to get off of here and get to reading my Bible....

Good night!

Well, today ain't no better.....

I am not even going to go into how tonight was at work....But let's just say it was dreadful, per usual.

Anyway, tonight my husband made mention of the fact that I am sorely needed at church, to help do things, and I am never able to be there, cause I am slaving at the sandwich shop. He asked if I had been looking for another job, and I told him yes that I was and that it would have to be something that I could work and go back to school with. He suggested that we be in prayer about it, and I am really suprised. Usually, he gets that glazed over thing going with his eyes when I talk about how much I hate work, cause he gets so sick of hearing about it. So, that is a plus.
Right now it is 20 after 12, and I am still up, making gallons of tea for a church luncheon tomorrow. I am also going to be getting up at rooster thirty to make deviled eggs, mashed potatoes, green beans, and a Hello Dolly cake. I guess I should be getting into bed, but I just got so much to do, and no time to do it!!!!!

On a brighter note, I am now looking forward to September 27, cause I am going to TN with my husband and my parents for this Hillbilly day thing. Alright!!!!!!! Then we are going to travel to some of my favorite spots while there, so I can live vicariously through all these old homeplaces and farms.........

Well, my tea is starting to boil, so I best go see after it.....If you have a chance to go to a church tomorrow, be happy, and go and fellowship with your brothers and sisters....It always makes me feel so much better and builds my faith and my spirits, which I REALLY need right now!!!!!
