Having Faith

There's this picture thing I saw on Pinterest that says "Faith in God Includes Faith in His Timing". I have been trying to focus on that and some days are fine and then some days I get really stressed out and think maybe I made the wrong decision by coming here. God has had a different time frame of things than I would have liked but I got a temp job for 3 weeks doing some administrative stuff at an office near here. I'm pretty excited about it because 1. I'll get out of the house and 2. I'll be able to pay some bill :) I start on Monday and it's from 8-4:30. Not too excited about having to wake up early but I'm not going to complain. They are hiring 4 of us to do some work for a project the company is working on which will be fun to have 3 other people who are in the same boat as me. Maybe they will be my age and I can make a few friends! I'm also excited because my last "2 week" temp job lasted 6 months and I'm the one who had to quit. 
The unemployment time has been a nice relaxing time and has allowed me to start my training for my half marathon that I probably wouldn't have started because I wouldn't have wanted to workout before or after work but now that I've started and gotten up to 4 miles I'm not going to stop. My pace has improved to about 13 min miles so I'm happy about that. I still have to walk parts of the hills but I can at least run up half way now. 
A couple funny stories from the last few weeks. 1. Lyndee had a friend from Norway here and the day she left she told Lyndee that she liked me and I thought I was nice and that you couldn't even tell I was homeschooled cause I wasn't weird. I guess even Norwegians think homeschoolers are weird. 2. Yesterday I was sitting in this old yellow chair we have in the living room watching Prison Break and eating my Chick-fil-A when all of the sudden my chair just falls back! It was so funny, Lyndee actually peed her pants. The thing I was most worried about was spilling my Chick-fil-A sauce because, even though I had asked him for extra, the guy only gave me 2 packs!
