Wow! Has it really been this long since I have been blogging? Yes, yes it has. Sad, I know. Life has just kept me busy. (That was my feeble attempt for an excuse). I was looking at my profile and realized that my photo is almost 2 years old. I think I've changes a little (i hope). Back to the events of the last months. Some may remember that I was in university for a year and a half, well that was a year and a half ago. After some roommate issues and the realization that God had other plans for me, I dropped out. I began working for Dad almost right away and was relegated to a job at the very bottom of the tottem pole. Noone could ever assume Dad treated his daughters with extra priviledge when it cam eto the jobs we had to do. He believes that working your way up is the best way to learn. He's right. I've learned alot in these last few months. The winter was exceptionally hard for me as I had daily confrontations with people who wanted to look down upon for having to audacity to be of the same gene pool as the boss. Believe it or not I am a person of low self-esteem and guts when it comes to getting in people's face and telling them to leave me alone. That is just one of the skills I have learned since working for Dad. I got over it, I told people off (in the most respectful way my temper would allow), and I have no problems with that issue anymore. However, it did make for a long winter. Spring came (2008) and I decided I needed to try something away from home. My family encouraged me to as I have always wanted to travel but have always been a home-body. I decided to apply to be an RCMP officer. Great ideas sometimes don't turn out great. I went to the presentation, I came home excited. I passed the apptitude test, I recieved my package of info in the mail. That's when things got rough. I went through the process of filling out forms and so on. I went to the eye doctor and was informed that not only would my visit cost $400.00 (new glasses too) but that I didn't meet the qualifications. My eyesight is too bad for the RCMP. Laser surgery? I filled out all the forms anyway and went to do the physical testing. I fell and smashed my knee up pretty bad and have been having problems ever since. I had to reschedule another test. That's ok. I prayed if God wanted me to do it, he would provide. I got a phone call just a few weeks ago, they need my highschool transcripts. Well, being homeschooled and all, that's a problem. So, I told them they would find the annual government testing results and my university transcripts enclosed. They callled back, that wasn't good enough. I needed a highschool equivalency. University transcripts people! Obviously I passed highschool. Anyhoo (deep breath), I took it as a sign that God didn't want me to go down that road. Now I'm on a new path that isn't a rough but still has stones (sometimes boulders). I am re-enrolled at Redeemer university. I am a mature student so that gives my specialized housing for cheaper that the regular students living in res. I move to Ancaster in September! I'm not looking forward to leaving somethings behind (my horse) but I will survive. My parents have been very generous in allowing me to crash at their place whenever I want to come home. Oh, I forgot to mention I moved into an apartment a year and a bit ago, so I don't live at Mom and Dad's. Oh the woe's of dealing with landlords (a whole other story). So life is taking it's twists and turns regularly for me but I'm still on track and working hard to be the woman God intended me to be. There ye have it, my story......of the last year:) |
