Moving On...

You know how the past couple of years I've always complained about the million and one things I have to do. I've decided to stop doing that. I do have problems with saying no, that's for sure. And I do help out when I am the one that needs help the most. But, with all that being said, it is difficult to believe how all these things started happening at once. Very much so like when I was working at the dorm.

First, my pastor asked Matt and I to start serving every Sunday and to do it in the Children's lab. This is kind of like Sunday school for k-6 grade. This makes me a little nervous because I'm not fabulous with kids, and it's every Sunday.

Then, I had three people from my classes that have asked for tutoring help, or job hunting help.

Then, we finally got this new job where to serve at an apartment complex, and we decided to begin early. So we are moving next weekend, painting to apartments, and starting a new job.

So we have to train for this new job. Plan for all of our upcoming vacations (anniversary, and how we are going to pay for the holidays)

I have all the same school assignments.

Plus we joined a lifegroup that meets every Thursday.

Plus our book club that meets once a week.

Plus I have to learn how to quilt/sew/maybe a refresher on knitting.

Whoa...I'm already getting a headache.

At least I have my prayers. I feel like so many opportunities have come in my life to exercise my prayer power, but it's hard to remember sometimes. Maybe the spiritual journal that we have to keep for work will help :) Anyway, these are just a few things on my mind lately.

Learning Proper English

Ok so I feel like the biggest letdown to technological history. I have probably commented on my friend In's blog like fifty times and just tonight realized that this blogging forum asks for a verification ID. I never noticed it before. So I've probably left her like 230958203958 comments, and she hasn't received any of them. Boo! So to my lovely traveling friend Inbal: "I miss you, and unfortunately you missed out on some great comments. But not to worry, I won't make that mistake again!" Ok for the rest of you who don't care about my stupidity, I shall carry on with my life and no longer wallow.

So guess who's going to be an author/journalist/columnist? I'll give you a hint, she likes speaking in the third person, and making people guess things she's going to tell them anyway. That's right, you are talking to someone who was just offered free range writing with a newspaper called the "Disciple Life Journal" (not sure about the quotations with newspaper, I think it's supposed to be Italicized my bad). What is this newspaper about you may ask? Well It's basically a counseling perspective newspaper about Christian living. Not very fluffy and warm fuzzies like most Christian magazines, but more about real topics. And since pretty much no one ever reads this blog I'm going to discuss some of my articles that I will be working on. So far I've decided on discussing the following:
*Christian Cohabitation, what the Bible says and what's practical
*An interview with my sister-in-law about being an artisic Christian in a community of mostly atheists
*My life story basically, from booze to Bible :) haha this makes me laugh
*And what it's like beinga newlywed...and everything that comes with.

So I'll post my first article as soon as it's written. I'm not going to lie, I'm extremely excited. I do often get tired of very warm fuzzie Christian writing. Sometimes I feel like there isn't any depth or soul to their testimonies. I'm hoping to not sound like I'm on prozac or holding a "Come to Jesus meeting" :)

Anyway, I'm pretty thrilled. Also, my classes are a breeze right now. So that's fun. And packing hasn't commenced yet, primarily out of procrastination, but what can ya do? That's all for now.
