The cursor has been sitting at the start, blinking, for about 10 minutes; I'm not really sure where to begin.
I am unfortunate enough to be experiencing, first hand, the effects of California's budget. Between losing three classes and losing my job, there's not much else to say bout this week except that it's been a crash-course through patience and flexibility.
The Job:
I worked @ the CPAC for 3 reasons-
1) Tithing - though it would be a small amount, the money would help fund the ministry Mark and Jin Rood in Tokyo, Japan.
2) Saving - for a trip back to Japan and a new guitar
3) Dancing - I was hoping to get back into what I love and miss
The Classes:
I was attempting to create a class schedule that would also allow me to work. Even though I lost my job, this was still a possibility. But when I lost my Japanese class, and had to fill in another one, the times when I could work disappeared. Goodbye 3 good reasons for a job...
-the saddest thing about this is that the unfortunate aspects of the budget crisis also affect those I wished to help and minister to in Japan.
Hello Jeremiah 29:11 : "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"
I'm aggravated and upset. I'm trying to make peace with the way everything is turning out. I'm trying to remember the promises in that verse. I'm trying to see reason. And I'm hoping to make the most of it.
Good Things:
-auditioned for a worship team today
-get to go to Navs this semester
-my education is being paid for
-I'm young, I have time
-God is good

ReplyDeleteI love you so very much.
And because you would expect something uplifting and wholesome from me, I present you with this:
Proverbs 31: 4-7...Here is to budget cuts, anguish, and uncertainty.
