Power Trippers

Saturday, March 13th- Sick with food poisoning, cant walk, cant hear. Request next weekend off due to meeting in Visalia.

Friday, March 19th- Call work to get phone numbers of cashires to cover weekend for me. Boss fips a B.

Thursday, March 25th- Go into work to grab schedule for this weekend and get paycheck. Appologize to boss about the weekend. She walks away from me. Schedule says that I work Saturday from 9-3. Awesome.

Saturday, March 27th-
So I go into work this morning for my scheduled shift at 9:00 and went in the back to clock in. I realized I didnt have my schedule for tomorrow so I went upstairs to get it. The note on the schedule board reads, "Cashires, pick your own schedule week!" Umm... okay. But no schedule for tomorrow, huh? I went downstairs and asked Sarah what that was all about and she explained. I also asked about the schedule for tomorrow and how it was not posted. Supposedly, we ran out of copies so we called the head manager..
Sarah: "Hey.. your name is crossed off on the break list... did you call in?"
Me: "No, I didnt.. I had last weekend off because I had a big meeting in Vicalia.."
My manager came down and was confused.
John: "Did you call in? Your name is crossed off the schedule with Lana's initials next to it. She got your shift covered for you... ?"
Me: "No.. I came in on Thursday to get my schedule and it said I worked today and I talked to Lana about it."
John: "Im sorry about that.. but you dont work today. I would call Lana later on."

Fired? I think so. Most unfortunate news...

Our Mission

I am in a small group of 8 of the most amazing girls I have ever known! They are like sisters to me and have changed me so much over the course of the last 6 months.
We have been working to save orphans since about November, and so far we have saved 4 beautiful children that deserve true homes. The children we are raising money for usually have Down syndrome or other disabilities. But really.. it's not such a "disability" of you really get to know and fall in love with someone who has it. We have fallen in love with these little children that we have never met but work so hard to save. We are doing this through and for God and for the children that deserve homes and it brings us so much joy.
From November to about mid January, we were raising money for an adorable little Down syndrome girl named Anna. We got the word out pretty fast and within a few months, raised over $1,000. Through Amy's blog, many heard about our story. Anna was adoptepd in February 2010 and is now on her way to a new loving home. Thank the Lord!!
We are now working on saving for this little boy named Jacob. If you are interested in donating, please contact me via email! hillgrace04@yahoo.com

Fiji

I got the incredible opportunity to go on a mission trip to Fiji to help young moms! So I have been working on finding way to raise money and I also sent out letters to friends and family asking for prayer and donations. Today I sent out some more letters and passed some out at work to regular customers and such. So far I have learned that I have to completely put this in God's hands. If I am meant to go then He will get me there!

My small group leader, Amy, her husband Andrew, and I went up to Vicalia this weekend for my first meeting for the trip. I got to meet my team and we had such an awesome time. I can't wait!
