| I'm requesting prayer! Steve is okay with his Walmart job as a pharmacy technician. I enjoy all the people I work with, the people who work at Walmart but not in the pharmacy, and most all the customers, even the ones who get angry from time to time. (It's just life, you know?) However, I make only about $15000 per year. Which is pretty decent, yes. But Steve is moving into a new world of having his own place, getting his own furniture, paying for all of his own insurances (dentist, medical, vehicle), and actually tithing (my biggest concern, believe it or not). $15,000 is not good enough, especailly when I'm going to paying upwards of $500 per month for rent, $110 for cable/phone/internet (comcast bundle), I am ditching my cell phone to save $45 each month, $100 for electric/gas, $40 for laundry (or more or less, who knows?), and then payments on the $7,000 in school/credit card debt that I have to pay off (for stuff that I'm not even using).
A job opening has come up at a Family Christian bookstore here in Nashville, where I could be paid more than double what I make now. But it is for a store manager position. I've been applying at Family Christian stores since I became Christian at 15 (I applied a few months later, at 16). I even applied for a lowly cashier position at a F.C. store here back in October. Walmart came first, though, and was better anyway. As far as this manager position goes, I don't have managerial experience, nor do I have the education I'm assuming they want. It's more than a shot in the dark, but we'll go for it anyway. I'm okay with Walmart, I'm okay with this job, I'm okay with no job, I'm okay with all jobs. I'm just going to keep on seeking the Lord and hoping His will plays out in my life, and that my will stays alongside his. If mine doesn't, then I hope He bashes it in the face. Nonetheless, pray, pray, pray that His will turns out for me and this job application. Whether it be to get the job or not, I'll know pretty quickly what decision He's made for me.
$30,000+ (I hope) plus benefits? That'd do a world of good, and no joke there. | | |
| I have a Savior...why do I still need to be saved, even though I know I already have been? Conundrum, indeed. | | |
| What is God? Rather, who? God is love, pure and holy in all respects, wanting only the best for all beings involved in any possible event or non-event. He does not act out of compulsion, but out of an eternity of thought and perfect intentions. God's intentions do not fail. He is bigger than all, fiercer than all, more gracious than all, more intimidating than all. Without God, life would not be possible. In our current state, true life with God is not possible. But he brings us to a point of such completion that we can step through the idea of "time" into the truth of eternity. Sin is but a crumbling bridge, which, when crossed, leads to destruction and death. This same destruction leads us to the only source of gracious life, who waits at knocks, daily, daily, daily, until we answer. Even when we answer, he knocks at other doors in our heart. In his infinte wisdom, he knows our scathingly obvious points of failure, and in his infinite care, he rubs away the callouses of our hearts and minds to let our spirit flow. There is no one like our God, and there is nothing like our God. No person, no beast of the air or tree of the field, no event, no cause, not even a single concept can be compared to our Father in heaven. Within his voluminous whisper is the promise of hope; pure hope, hope that is breathed by the Lord from on high. He is greater than war! He is greater than love! He is greater than you, and greater than I! He is greater than this world he created, or the universe which it spins in! The Lord is greater than love, and greater than grace! These things by themselves mean nothing; only in perfect, patient love does grace have meaning. What, then, is the meaning of the Lord? To love each other, and seek earnestly after Him all our days. Give praise to the one to whom it is due. Now and forever. Give praise to the Lord, give praise to the Lord, give praise to the Lord! Live your life like sin cannot touch you, but with the mindset that sin is all you seem to touch. Be humble, and seek the kingdom, and make disciples of yourself, your family, your friend, the world. The Lord's vision is perfect - his vision is what we have. My dreams are your dreams, and your dreams are my dreams - we dream for the Lord. And what sweet, perfect dreams they are! They come from the pure, holy, perfect, marvelous One in heaven, the One who collected our debt by giving Himself. Amen, Amen, Amen! Fear not for the story that is being written in your life. It is written by the Master's hand. It is at the tip of the Master's pen. For your life is that small and meaningless; a point in time, and a point in space, it consists of nothing apart from what the Lord makes it. If you do not read your own story, you surely will not live it. The Author is willing, and the Author was made weak with love for us. Take faith! Faith until the end, until the world of men has fallen behind! Glory to the Father, and the Son, and Holy Spirit, who work out together the perfect will that is the substance of heaven. Shekinah glory, rain down! Presence, fall on us! Bring us to your throne room! Make us dead people before you, and raise us to our feet; feet for the Lord will never falter, and a heart that beats through your word is strengthened by You! Love and glory are due; Holy is the Lord! | | |
| What a little jerk! How much can my roommate piss me off in one week? I don't know...apparently he's trying to set a record. Yes, I'm being sarcastic. But, if he were to disappear randomly, no big loss. He ate more of my food, made another big mess (which my friend Jessie cleaned up)....we're just not going to go there, with the saying everything he did and stuff. It's the same thing all over and over again. I'm putting my last post back up again. I repented in dust and ashes for putting that note up on facebook, but I'm pissed off again. So I'm putting it back up, and putting this one on, too. Okay, no. Just this one. I honestly pray that the Lord rocks his world in such a way that he has no choice but to grow up and learn what respect is. This is going to sound really cocky, but from the way that people talk about me and the way that I am, he doesn't deserve to know me. I want him to be as far away as possible, and go back to Texas. He'll fit right into the music industry, though, I'll tell you that. He'll probably be the next sleazy producer. Caleb Gibbs - Grow Up! "The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature." 1 Corinthians 2:6. That one's for you. | | |
