Beautiful...






I heard this song on the radio and it really spoke to my heart.... Be blessed, and know that you are loved.

Rambling thoughts from the Cinnamon Coffee girl... :)

   Okay, so I'm sitting here, thinking, "I really should put up a new blog post.  I haven't posted since before Christmas, and here it is half way through January.  But what in the world would am I going to post about?"  But, as I'm drinking my coffee, a funny story comes to mind, so I'll start with that.
   This week had been a bit of a drag so far.  The weekend had been so much fun.  My good friend Alyssa came and spent the whole weekend over at our house.  We had so much fun.  Bekah, Alyssa and I went to Jo-Ann's and looked at fabric for a period dress.  Alyssa and I are planning on going to an English Country Ball in March, so we need a period dress.  And I introduced her to Gilmore Girls.  And it was great fun.  But Monday started out as a drag, and the week didn't seem to get any better.  I found out that my hours were going to be cut at work.  It's winter time, so there isn't as much business so I end up with nothing to do.  Makes sense, but still, I've got a lot of things I want to do that cost money... But, I'm rabbit trailing here.
   Anyway, Today was interesting.  I met with Pastor Robin this morning to talk about working with the children's ministries.  I'm so excited about getting involved in a church again.  More on that later.
   This afternoon Bekah and I took my sister Annie to her literature class this afternoon, and then while she was in class, Bekah and I went to go get coffee at Kwik Trip.  We'd been in yesterday, and they were out of cinnamon coffee, hot chocolate, and the syrup for the sprite was out too.  My favorite combination at Kwik Trip is Cinnamon Coffee with Hot Chocolate, and a bit of Cinnamon Creamer.  YUMMY!  Anyway, so we went in today, and they were, again, out of cinnamon coffee.  Bekah and I were rather bummed, and we both lamented out loud that the Cinnamon Coffee was out.  Behind the counter was someone who was making the coffee, and it turns out she was the store manager.  She was making the Cinnamon Coffee, and after hearing about how we didn't get the coffee that we wanted yesterday, said that the coffee was on the house, and we were allowed to get a free soda as well.  She then made some comment about how she needs to hire someone just to make coffee, and I said that I was working for a job.  I asked if she had time to do an interview today and she asked if I had filled out an application.  I hadn't, but I would go home, fill out an application and I would call her.  I went home, filled out an application, and called her.  However, I realized that I hadn't really introduced myself, so telling the person who answered the phone my name would do her no good.  So, I told him, "This is Christy.  Tell her I'm the Cinnamon Coffee girl."  So, tomorrow she is going to call me and we will talk about setting up an interview. At least she will never forget me. :)
  I've also started taking ASL II this semester, and I think I'm going to enjoy it.  It is challenging, but I'm feeling up for a good challenge.  And I'm looking into taking a semester and going to Colorado to take the Ellerslie Leadership Training.  So, this year looks like it could be a really interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing what God has planned for me.  I'll keep you posted!!
