It was a sad night at church tonight, a family’s last night at Xcel, they are relocating “Down Under” to Australia.
Lots of tears and hugs from everybody.
They are such a incredible family and a big part of the Church.
Will be missed immensely.

Masks

Yesterday I realized just how many people wear masks. People who I
assumed “had it made” and had no problems as they always seem to
have a smile on their face and joke around. Its made me think that we
should never take things at face value, ask how people are then
actually wait for the answer and listen to people. We need to stop
hiding behind our masks and just say if something is bothering us
rather than bottling it up.
Little things that we say “off the cuff” and in jest can really take root
and hurt people and we dont even know it, we need to be careful in
what we say.
On the other hand, we never know about the way our words impact people,
they could come up to you years later and say “you said this” and we might
not even remember it, but those few words that we spoke could have quite
easily changed that persons life.
I wouldnt be where I am today without the positive words my friends and pastors
over the years have spoke to me and for that I am truly grateful.

I’m glad that I can be there for my friends, as somebody to talk things over with, to vent with and even to “kidnap” when things get rough.
I treasure and value my friends highly, and it saddens me when they are hurting or when their health suffers.
I just keep on doing what I’m doing which is being there for them and praying each day for them and the struggles that they face.
I love my friends so much and I couldn’t imagine my life without them, even though we all have our own opinions and such like, its what makes us unique and wonderful.
One of the pastors at my church said something a while ago that made me think and it was this; “some friends are just there for a season but some are there for a reason”.
Ive had some awesome friendships in the last few years and they have just been for a season and there is only about two or three people that are my “reason” friendships, that know pretty much everything about me.
You know who you are…..thank you for being you.

Well I’ve been back on the working scene for about a month now, its definitely tougher than I thought it would be, Big hats off to the working mummies that read this, you know who you are!
Its been difficult at work being the new girl and all, and I’m not “gelling” with certain staff, but I guess you will get that in any job, my friends have been so encouraging, popping in my work just so say “hi” or texting me just at the right moment when I need it.
I guess that not many people like their jobs but as I keep telling myself a job is a job and its bringing the money into the house, its a stepping stone in my world of work, still not sure what I want to do now though, I feel like the career in childcare I was training for before I had my son just is not right anymore, times have changed, all the childcare jobs im either under-qualified for or am not getting past interview stage.
Quick question for anybody reading this that knows me, please leave comments as to what sort of job you think that I would be good at.
Thanks
