Fear vs. My Dreams

Image
By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Today is Friday! I haven't made a post all week but I have been pretty busy. I finished going through lesson 8 and am now studying for the quiz, cleaned the entire house, booked a Thirty One Party, and received the job from GNC.

I should be excited about the job, right? Well for some reason I have this gut feeling that it's not right. I was already told by the manager that not many people work there for a long time and to not buy a bunch of clothes for the job in case I don't stay there. I was wondering why many people don't stay there: Do they quit? Do they get fired? Why do so many people quit or get fired so soon? But I figured I didn't want to ask or know.

Another reason I'm nervous about it is because I already have to take off twice because of prior commitments. Next weekend I have a Thirty One meeting and the weekend of the Fourth of July I have a family reunion. I don't think she will be happy when we talk about my schedule tomorrow (Saturday) and that has made me anxious and I thought about just cancelling the events. However, when reading my devotional today I now feel at ease and know that God is helping me to achieve my dreams and that I shouldn't worry about what the manager at GNC or anyone else thinks.

The Confident Woman Devotional by Joyce Meyer talks about how I should start living without fear or stress and that I should not worry about doing things just to make others happy. Instead of being fearful that someone will be angry that I am not doing what they want, I should start being the person I want to be. I really think it applies to my life at the moment especially with what I've been thinking about. Family is very important to me and it should also be important to my employer as well. I want to be able to work, have time for school, and most importantly spend time with my family. So if she gets upset with me for requesting those days off and I get fired the first day then I know that it is just not meant to be and that God has other plans for me.

Hopefully tomorrow goes well but either way I will write in here what happens tomorrow on my first day.

LASIK: Three Week Review

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
So on May 27th I had my LASIK surgery! I'm going to write the great, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The Day Of The morning of the surgery I woke up very early to make the 1.5 hour drive the where the center was. They said to make sure to eat the morning of because they didn't want the valium to make my stomach upset. I managed to get some nuts, granola, and some other snacks down. I was really nervous so eating a bit was hard. If I could do it again I would have eaten an actual breakfast! I didn't eat enough and afterwards I was very nauseous. When I finally got to the clinic I waited about a half an hour after my appointment time to be seen. I wasn't in a huge hurry just very anxious and the wait didn't help. I already new what to expect but I just wanted it done and over with. I was finally called in and we went over some paperwork that I had to sign, they made sure I knew about all the risks involved, I made the payment, and then they gave me a little happ...

My First Day at GNC

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Well today was my first day at GNC. When I asked for my days off she seemed understanding because I brought it up on the first day. However, my probation period is ninety days and I'm not allowed to use the cash register and I'm taking tests and training the whole time. So by the time I'm planning to leave and start working in a Fitness Facility I would still be on probation. I feel bad for only staying with them such a short time and them investing training into me. I'm wondering how long this will last. I plan to stick it out for a while and see how it goes. I'm not worrying about it because I know God has great plans for me and I just have to trust Him. I have applied for ten fitness facility positions on post this week and this weekend I will be applying to fitness facilities in the city that I am in. Hopefully something comes through and I can start putting my schooling and passion to use!
