(Hill, and Leah)<\/p>\n<p>So you want something to chew on?  So chew on this&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You know how I&#8217;m planning on going to school this August?  Yeah.  Exciting stuff.  You know how I am not so happy about my current job?  Yeah<\/p>\n<p>Well.. today I had my monthly review.. and well I did well.  I wasn&#8217;t in the top percentage but my manager basically took the time to talk to me about what I can do in the next few weeks.  When I had my yearly review they hinted towards a manager job, but never really said anything about it &#8211; rather just saying &#8216;it will come up probably in September or so&#8217; and let me tell you, that would be a perfect out for me.  I was going to have my last day be July 30th.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway.. So we were talking.  She wants to have me help some people one on one (and if you remember I like doing that) &#8211; also wants me to be in the new training classes for the next few classes.<\/p>\n<p>Then she told me that there was a manager opening.  And she said she &#8216;encourages&#8217; me to apply.  And that if I don&#8217;t get it I should &#8216;reapply a few times&#8217; because it took her a couple times to get to be a manager.<\/p>\n<p>So who cares about being a manager?  who cares about Sears.. blah blah blah you ask me&#8230; why?  Better pay&#8230; heck its salary.  Better job- and I don&#8217;t have to be on the phones.  A future?&#8230;. this gives me something huge to look at.  I don&#8217;t want to be stupid and pass up something that people off the street are required college degree\/classes for.<\/p>\n<p>So what should I do?  Feedback.. would help.  I am going to have to pray about this..<\/p>\n<p>She told me she would have me do some shadowing of a manager by next week (originally late August) &#8211; so what?!  argh.  I don&#8217;t know what to do.<\/p>\n<p>Last week in church it was about what?  Gods Will.  This quote rings true : &#8220;When Gods Specific will is at Large, it is Obvious.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Oh and a side note.. about my brother and him possibly being a believer.. no more.  At least not for the time being.  He thinks I am wasting my life.. he doesn&#8217;t want any part of it anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of things going on&#8230; so pray much!<\/p>\n<p>A quote from C.S. Lewis &#8211; &#8220;The Moment you wake up each morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals.  And the first job each morning consists in shoving it all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I like that quote.  but I&#8217;m done here&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>God Bless.  Pray Hard.<\/p>\n<p>Ciao!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello to all the faithful readers &#8211; this post might make sense to you.
