Prayer Request

Hey you all,

So I'm pretty sure I told most of you this already, but my mom has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer this past week. Apparently it is the most aggressive type you can have, so it's pretty intense. She'll be having a double mastectomy in a few weeks and then start into six months of chemo afterwards. This is going to be a really tough journey for her and she's already exhausted from being very ill with an unknown fever and such for the past eight months. So if you all could please be praying I'd really appreciate it a lot. If you are interested in what is going on, I made her a blog so she can keep in touch with people and let them know what's going on. The URL is leslynmusch.blogspot.com Thanks so much for your prayers.

And while on this subject, if you are praying please also lift up my friend's (Brian) dad (Mr. Hinds) who is currently battling brain cancer, among other things. There have been a lot of complications lately, fortunately he is now recovering, but divine healing for this cancer would be amazing!

I pray to one day be able to write about healing for both my mom and Brian's dad! God knows what He is doing and He'll work this all out. Praise Him!

You Know You Live in a Sketchy Part of Town When...

...your parents send you to the grocery store with the warning "Be careful, three people were killed over there a month ago."

Oh dear.

I Think I Have Bad Luck

So here is an update on my job hunt. I got hired at a discount retail shop called Tuesday Morning. That's great and non-confusing. I then went in to interview at Crabtree & Evelyn (lotion shop for those of you who don't know) and the lady hired me on the spot! --or so it seemed-- apparently she actually has to get this approved by the regional manager and he's not even sure if he's hiring. So I guess I'm not employed there...even tho I am. I dunno. So i interviewed at Pier 1 too and hopefully one of those will come through. This is starting to remind me strangely of the first time I ever got hired for a job tho...

...Sarah and I had been looking for our first jobs and she convinced me that Starbucks was gonna be the best place to work in the world. So we both dropped off applications and did interviews and we both got hired!!! The lady on the phone was really enthusiastic and gave me all the dress code info [I had to buy like 50 worth of black clothes and shoes] and how the first day of work would go talk, etc. So i'm enthused and so I drive down to the store for my first day of work. Problem. Nobody in the entire store knows I was supposed to come in. So they set me up and make me mop the floor and stuff...they can't really figure out what else to do with me. So then they send me home early and are like, "Well, come back tomorrow. Good job and stuff." That evening the manager calls me.

"Hi is this Karyn?"
"Yes, how are you?"
"I'm fine but I'm calling to work out a mistake. You see we didn't know you were coming in today because I actually didn't mean to hire you. I was supposed to hire a girl named Monica [may I just point out how easy it would be to confuse the two names ;) ]. So you actually aren't hired here."
"Oh. Okay, thanks."

Well.
She hangs up.
And I'm suddenly now unemployed and questioning if this can actually happen.
But I'm too timid to question it.
At least I got a new pair of shoes out of the deal.
