Working at a resort has its perks and its downfalls. One downfall...not having Saturday AND Sunday off together. Perks...having two days off in a row, allowing me to run errands to businesses that are only open M-F. This week my weekend is Friday and Saturday and I'm going to the farm :)
I haven't posted about the farm yet, even though its one of the most important things in my life right now. It's my retreat, my home away from home, my heaven on earth. I work my butt off on the farm, but its worth it. I have the privledge of helping my friend break a couple horses and finish them to be sold. It has been a great experience for me. I'm learning alot about horses and alot about patience. God has brought some wonderful people into my life and I'm definently growing! Anna is showing me how to be a Godly woman and lets me talk to her about all the things on my heart. Paul is amazing and reminds me of my Grandpa...a hard working man who loves his family. Richard is teaching me patience, because he has none...lol but seriously, Richard is showing me a different view on love and relationships because he is divorced. He looks at the world in a very different way then I do. The farm gives me a chance to serve others. Anna recently had surgery on her knee and isn't supposed to be lifting heavy things or moving to quickly. I'm going up tomorrow to help her back for their trail ride tomorrow. If I'm lucky I might get to ride horses, but that's not the priority.
Not sure how to wrap this post up, so I'll just leave it with...I'm blessed beyond all measure and continue to see God working!

He is So Very Good to Me
There have been alot of changes lately....mostly personal, but some public. As posted earlier, I'm learning to trust God with my future. He more then proved Himself AGAIN today. I had applied for a new job last week, went through the interview and personality testing in less then seven days. Yesterday morning the guy doing the hiring said I was in the top 3 :) and that he would be making a decision very soon. The only big hold up that I could see was I didn't know if I could give my current job only a weeks notice instead of the normal two. I prayed about this yesterday while riding horses, and today at church and on the way home. I told the new guy that I would check with the current boss and get back to him.
I came to work today and my boss asks me (out of the blue) if I was looking for a new job and I had to be honest with her, so I said yes. She asks a few questions about it and specifically asked if I could give her two weeks. WOW! God plans everything out for me! I told her it would be better if I just gave 1 week and she was ok with that. So I emailed the guy saying my boss was ok with just a weeks notice. He emailed me back and said "You're hired!" I was laughing and crying at the same time when I called my mom...she thought something was wrong! lol
At church today Pastor taught on praise and how important that is in the life of a Christ-follower. I'll admit, I haven't been a great Christ-follower as of late, but God is working on me and slowly bringing me back to Him. I am amazed by His patience and unwaveringly love. Through church and on the way home I prayed with belief that God would continue to provide and WOW...I'm blown away!!

Freedom
I have recently been attending a new church with my dear friend Amanda and her family. This past Sunday we sang about freedom and Pastor said we cannot truely appreciate freedom
until we've been in bondage,
until we've been tied up,
until we've been behind bars.
I realized that I've been in bondage to and behind the bars of my future. This was a big thing for me to realize. Anyone that knows me knows that I am a self-sufficient, independent girl who can make it on her own. I want to control things, including my future. And while thats true, I sure can't see the future nor am I sure I want to see it. If I saw into my future, what would I change about today? Would I change today or would I let today be today, hoping to learn something that will impact my future?
The future has started to bother me a lil bit lately. Especially when it comes to my husband. I believe he is out there, I know my parents and others who love me pray for him. I pray for him. But I dont know who he is and that worries me a bit. I like to have a plan and know how things are gona work out.
My friend Amanda just told me that worrying about my future is living in fear. But that God's got it all under control. Again, a friend who loves me and will tell me the truth, even when i don't want to hear it :) thanks girl! You truely are a blessing!!

The Start of Something New
Well, here it goes. I've thought about a blog for some time now, but didn't think I had anything interesting to write about. However, my thoughts have grown stronger over the past week or so and I've decided to give it a try.
Why its called "Made by God" 2 differnent people asked me about the tattoo on my foot yesterday (I'll post a picture soon). Once outside the bank and by one of our maintenance guys here at the resort. I was able to share that I got the tattoo because everything else in the world has a lable on it and based on my faith, I believe that I was made by God :)
I'm not promising anything great in this blog, just a place for me to write about what God's doing and what's going on in my life. My inspirations are my friends Jess, Becca and my cousin Jen.
