My life

blog #1
october 11th 2008

So as some of You may know and other may not know, Im Verena Sheava. I grew up on a farm with My Mom and Dad and 4 siblings... plus Damaris but She was moved out pretty quick. We lived in a little country town called Pleasant Hill. We have 40 acres and Namo (Grandmother) rite up the road. My childhood consisted of alot of feeding the animals and going to soccer games and being in 4-h. I was never really a city kid. I was usually always doing something in the mudd or trying to ride a sheep or just being a crazy innocent adalecine. 
When highschool came around I was more into soccer and the whole boyfriend thing was starting to interest Me. 4-h was still an activity I did because thats were my money came from for school clothes, but I was slowly growing out of that. It seemed more interesting to Me to get a job instead. but wait... I couldnt have a job and no car! so I finally got My first car. A 1989 Nissan sentra. I thought it was pretty cool. 
About My sophomore year came around and I started working at mcdonalds in cottage grove oregon. I loved My job there. I dont regret having a fast food job at all! It was such a good learning experience for Me, I learned alot of resposibility and how to work with others. i also made some great friends that will last a life time! 
Also My sophomore year I enjoyed hanging out with My Brother alot. That lead to a bofriend! Tyrone and I began dating My sophpmore year and He was a senior. He was pretty much My life. We did everything together. At the end of His senior Year He had to go to college at SOU. So We decided to do the long distance thing. It worked out pretty good. 
Soon enough it was My senior Year. Things had changed alot at home, My Dad no longer lived at home and things were in transition. When I graduated I decided to try something new and I moved to Spokane Wa. to live near Tyrone. I became really close to His family and friends and added alot of important people to My life. 
So Spokane opened the doors to My first apartment and My job at sacred heart. I was so excited to be out on My own and have a apartment all to Myself. It was kinda nice not walking outside and getting mudd, muneror or whatever else on My feet from the farm. It was quit nice I must say. 
Sacred heart food and nutritional services was My first job in Spokane. Waking up at 5 or 6 in the morning each day to go work in the kitchen. I liked it for a while. It was really a heart warming experience to see all the patients and how happy they were just to get a meal! 
A year or two later Tyrone and I got an apartment together and I enjoyed just hanging out at home, cooking and just hanging out with the boys. It was definetely and interesting experience. Verena and about 3 others boys... yah lets just say after while thats not so much fun anymore. 
June 2007 Tyrone and I went seperate paths and decided to make a new life without eachother, but still remain friends. Since than I have definitely have grown alot and had alot of ups and downs and now realize that God has something different for Me and for Him. Its been very hard at times. We will always care for each other dearly but We just know that God has called Us both to different things.
About April 2007 I transferred from My job in the kitchen to the laboratory and became a phlebotomist. Ive been working the ever since. I work grave yards so it kinda hard sometimes but its a pretty good job and I enjoy it for the most part. 
August 2007 I turned 21! Well that was the start of some struggles for Me. Tho I enjoyed the experience of the bar and dancing and all of that... it just wasnt for Me and it was pretty hard on Me. Through all of My struggles that year I was lead closer than ever to Jesus.
I began going back to Church about Febuary of 2008 and Jesus COMPLETELY changed My life around! Jesus has made Me pure again and for that I owe it all to Him. He has done so many amazing things in My life the past few months. I have been givin some great life long friends and He has Made Me born again!
