So the secret is revealed: I've been seeing someone ... for a while now. Since before labor day. I have kept it on the down low because... well of many reasons and I wanted to be sure before I said anything. Anyway, all of this for this story and the reason for the graphic. Well, we were talking...about my whole job situation. And he said something that really caught my ear. He was telling me to find a job that I'm going to love... or a career path rather. Anyway- he advised me to find a job that will "bring me alive," - at least I'm pretty sure those were the exact words. It really got me thinking. What kind of career, short of an opera career or something of the like would really bring me to life... would wake up my soul and spirit. What would truly make me happy?


Then I got to thinking- I'm sure that nothing I do will truly make me happy unless it is something having to do with music. Music makes me happy- it stirs something within me that nothing else ever could. So why have I been working in insurance? To pay the bills, I suppose. Actually- if one is not a teacher (which I am no longer vastly opposed to now that I've seen some horrible music teacher move into our school district), there are not really many other music opportunities for careers... especially in Lake Odessa. And no matter how many people hear me sing and tell me I should be on broadway or go on "american idol," I find it hard to believe I'd make it. Not because I don't think I'm good enough- because I think it I work hard enough I could, however- I don't meet the mold. And although Prof once told me that he had a feeling what my goal was and that he knew I could accomplish it, there is still a lot of self doubt... and maybe lack of faith in others at the same time... and maybe some fear of failure.
I guess I have a lot more to think about than I had realized!

Kristin, You have one life, You have one shot, and sometimes you only get one opportunity. God will reveal Himself in you as you start to take those steps of faith towards doing what you love to do. And if it's not what God wants then He'll let you know. God gave you a special gift. He gave you many special gifts, so get out there and use them. I know you'll be great at it.

The only reason I am writing this is so in case someone else in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area happens to google this man. I was seeing this man, Pleasz Roy Daniels, also known as Roy Daniels (he also lies online currently saying his name is Mark Roy Daniels) since January 2013. Yesterday I broke it off with him after looking at his phone. He was talking about marriage, and buying a home together. I looked at his texts and found someone saved in his phone as "My wife." I don't know who this girl is because he came into the room before I could see it. I wanted to warn her that he's been seeing me for 4 months, and I assume he's been seeing her too. I am the one who helped him when he was in trouble a few months ago. He probably told her that he was working when he was with me. The night i found the texts (middle of the night On January 26) - she had written to him "I wish you were home tonight." I'm watching out for you. I think that he's

I'm convinced that no one reads my blog... but I'm totally okay with that. [Single tear runs down cheek] So anyway, I had a pretty unevenful weekend. Perhaps that's a good thing, huh? However, today at work... another story. I'm pretty sure the front receptionist who works part-time (until about noon)- was drunk. She was slurring her words, and couldn't walk straight, and was talking pretty freely about everything (along with dropping a few F bombs among other things). Apparently she has a history of this, so its no big surprise to some of the other girls. We'll see what happens. I'm so glad that today is inventory for my friends at walmart. This is why: It is the biggest deal every year around the time of inventory. I haven't seen some of these people in a long time because of this event. I can't wait to see them again and they will have a social life once again (assuming they had one before). I'm done now.
