Starting Week 3 of My Life in Vegas....

You know what? Life is good right now.

I got a volunteer position at a Family Resource Center here in Las Vegas. I got in contact with someone and they would like me to come in and work with them for a few hours every Tuesday since that is the day I have available. I will be given the opportunities to help families that are in need of some sort of resource in the community. I will be coming in for my first meeting in a few days and they will tell me what they would like me to do. Apart of my volunteering will involve counseling some sort of group of young kids or teens, facilitate in parenting classes, making phone calls, and possible child care? Im not sure, but I am excited to be able to help the community in some way and gain some great experience. This makes me excited.

I am really feeling blessed right now. I am happy to get involved in my church again. This morning, we went to go feed the homeless downtown. Being with those that are less fortunate than myself just for a couple of hours puts life in perspective for me. I believe that we are put on this earth for many reasons. One of those reasons is to show goodness to others.  Why cant I remember that ALL THE TIME?

Life is so unpredictable. I am back at home... and happy. I have a good job that gives me the opportunity to save up money. However, I am making good use of my free time to better prepare me for my next step in life. I pray that my motivation stays consistent.

Life is good.... but I'm missing California.
