I spent more money yesterday than I should have and it was on meaningless things! I bought a grass skirt that happens to be too small for me anyway! I can't even return it because I opened it I think. Oh well, I get paid again today and it's going to my car insurance and credit card.
I have eight days left with my wonderful family of five that I nanny for! You probably have no idea how excited I am, yet sad all at the same time. I am very excited to begin a new chapter in my life and hopefully leave child care behind. Don't get me wrong, I love kids more than a lot of things in this sick world, but I can only do this for so long! It's nice knowing I won't be making a career out of child care. I'll just basically have it as a career when I have my own children some day, but they'll be mine and everyone says, "It will be different when they are your own children." We'll see how right my friends and family are. I wish sometimes I could give birth to a 17 year old. That way I have them for one year and they already think they know everything and can feed their self AND can drive wherever they need to go! Needless to say, I'll be out of a job in three weeks. Which brings me to another point. I have tried a few times to get little odd jobs or second jobs, but they always end up falling through! The first time I was sure I had the job and they suddenly send me the dreaded post card because they're too much of a pansy to call me and tell me in person that I didn't get the job. There was also the phone book delivery job which I only had to attend the informational meeting, grab the books, and go! The unfortunate part is...I couldn't find the building the meeting was in! I drove around Coon Rapids for 30 minutes looking for this building and honestly could not find it anywhere! What is the deal? I personally think God wants me to fully rely on Him for the tuition and all other costs of this new chapter. It's hard for me to fully grasp, but so far He's been good to His word so I can't help but relax and trust Him to bring it all in in the next month and a half.
Last night I went to a newish Indian restaurant in Maple Grove called Curry Up. I've been there a few times before. I am so glad I love Indian food. Anyway, as I was leaving one of the owners asked how the food was and I told her "excellent, as usual!" and also mentioned that I would be going to India in September for nine months and then for the next 20 minutes she was telling me all about Pune which is where I'll be staying, and Mumbai which is the nearest large city. She told me what to expect and what to wear and all this amazing advice! She also told me to come in again if I have any more questions before I go and she would love to help me as much as she can, and she said that she has family in Mumbai and Pune and would gladly give me their contact information so I can talk to them if I have questions while I'm there, or if I just want someone to show me around! It was a HUGE confirmation and put my mind and body a little more at ease about going. I'm falling more in love with the people of India and I haven't even left yet!
Please pray that people start sending in support. I sent out the letters a few weeks ago and have only received one back so far. Also, there should be a coffee shop coming up within the next two months where you will be able to see me perform some songs and purchase my CD for India!
