what an absolute blessing!!!
omg, the Lord is so super duper good, i can't believe it sometimes! my cousins are here from the philippines, just arrived last week. they're here on "vacation" but we're hoping that they'll find something here so that they can settle and start a life here with us. one is a teacher, another graduated with communications and is hoping to go into advertising (but can really do anything), and the other is in computers. we just had a welcome reunion party last saturday and we we're talking to them about plans and such things. i was feeling kind of discouraged, cuz the teacher already has a job lined up and was supposed to go back in april to do paperwork. i was thinking that there was no way they'd be able to find a job so quickly! plus, they'd have to find a company to sponsor them on top of finding the job! but i got this awesome email this morning from my aunt:
Hello Family,
Just wanted to share the good news that ... has been accepted in a position at ... in Fullerton, CA starting on Monday, March 22, 2004.
She will be sponsored by the school and after a year may be sent to Montessori training paid for by the school.
She just recently graduated from Miriam College and is excited to be working in the field she has her degree in.
Please join me in congratulating her and wishing her well as she embarks on this new phase in her life.
More importantly, please join me in thanking HIM for presenting this wonderful opportunity to her.
i was so super amazed and shocked at how quickly it happened. i found out from talking to my uncle that it was through one of our friends from days that my cousin got this position. and i thanked God for this group again.
i'm working on my other cousin who's in computers. at first i was a lil discouraged about that too, cuz crap, the market sux for IT peeps these days. then i saw jongo's post. i was still not so hopeful, cuz i thought my cousin does hardware stuff. but i called my other aunt just in case and when i described what was needed, she said, oh i think that's exactly what it says on his resume! let me fax it to you! oh my gosh, i hope this totally works out for them!

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
