This week was a stressful one for me, with trying to find a job, trying to find a place to live, and trying to pack, and starting my new responsibilities with the youth group. My main stress being finding a job and finding somewhere to live. God thankfully had His hand all over everything and was not panicked in the slightest! I love when God does His thing!
So this is how my week ended up:
Wed: Morning- Show up to inquire about a job not looking my best at all after a long and tiring night shift. Get told by the manager to show up the next day for an interview (Which I was told by a friend who works there is rare.
Afternoon- Put in job applications around town, inquire about and answer adds and make calls all in hopes of finding a place to live, have lunch with an awesome friend.
Late Afternoon- At another friends birthday party get told about another amazing job opportunity.
Evening-Went to youth and had amazing God time!
Thursday: Morning- Put in more applications, go shopping for supply's for support packets.
Afternoon- Blogged, looked for more housing, ate, went to interview, got job!, had amazing friend spend lots of time and energy help me work on getting my packets done.
Evening- Went to church and got awesome new role in the youth group I help out with!
Friday:All Day- Slept, packed, cleaned, ate, looked for somewhere to live.
Saturday: Deadline day arrives and I am still looking for somewhere to live. Call a friend for advice, no answer, decide just to wait to hear back, feel like the Lord wants me to call another friend, I call another friend, Friend offers someplace to live!
The entire time I was searching and waiting I was panicked, indeed I was, but I was also praying and thanking the Lord for provisions that hadn't even arrived yet and God is good and faithful and what I needed arrived just in time like always!
So I wanted to thank my friends for not being put out by my crankiness this week and for all their help(Thanks guys!), and I wanted to thank God for being an amazing, loving, awesome, father, who is always just so good to me. Thank you God for just doing your thing!

Joyful little post from square 2
I like to consider where I'm at right now square two because everything before Jesus was square: Oh my goodness the ship is sinking! Oh my goodness we're gonna drown! Which makes square one accepting Christ and giving him all my addictions and so forth(the second part of square one had to be repeated several times and took many years). And now I find myself at square two!
So now the question is of course: What is square two Katrina?
I'm so glad I can pretend that somebody asked because square two is where all the fun stuff begins!
As of right now my square two consists of leaving my job at the youth treatment facility (only 6 days left!), being accepted as an intern with an awesome ministry by the name of Wild Fire, moving to the next town/city over, finding a part time job, raising support, and hopefully starting a jump rope team with some friends. I know that this seems like a lot and it sort of is but right now I'm banking on the fact that God knows what He's doing which is three shades of awesome because I have just about no clue what I'm doing.
You know I find it super amazing the way that He takes a situation where I'd normally be having a complete melt down and changed my heart to where I'm just slightly panicked from time to time. Even more so it's in those moments when I'm panicked I know all I have to do is ask Him for some peace of mind and He gives it to me like the gracious father He is. I love when God goes "Katrina Lynn I've got you don't worry, I've got your back." So even though everything seems to be moving quickly, a little chaotically, and sometimes a tad out of control God has put it in me to be able to write you a joyful little post from square two.
