Hello,<\/p>\n
‘A lifetime’s not to long.. to live as friends’<\/p>\n
It is a little past 10pm and I am still at the church. Yes, I’m updating from the church– I have started to bring my laptop to play music at night while no one else is in the office.<\/p>\n
Hm, so the thing for Central says I have to have a 3.0 average to apply. Might cause a problem, I will know in a few days.<\/p>\n
It makes my mind wander about.. what the outcome will be…..<\/p>\n
Speaking of a few days… after my last post I noticed it was windy outside.<\/p>\n
I walked outside and sat in my car- it was in the 80’s.. cool for after midnight in Arizona. I saw the sky, and knew it would rain so I stayed outside… until about 1:30am, just sitting, occasionally it would sprinkle a little on my car and then stop. If you have lived out here before you can usually tell if it is going to rain. I guess I was wrong.<\/p>\n
So I went back inside (because of the time) and to bed. Woke up at 6:20, I was like.. Oh heck I have time to burn – clicked snooze (accidentally clicked dismiss). Oops. I woke up at 7:20, 10 minutes to get to work when it is a 30 minute travel. Shoot.. 2 and 1\/2 years working at the place never late. Orientation for 2 weeks and I am late haha.<\/p>\n
I walked outside.. and it was raining. Wooohooo! So all the way to work it rained.. it was altogether lovely. I enjoy the rain, and I have been deprived of it my whole life.<\/p>\n
Made it to work by 8 am, and then the rest of the day went by really quick. Came to Central and the night went by quickly too. Today.. the day dragged on for what seemed like forever. It was hot and humid outside… just nasty. I got to take over training the class today for a few hours.. from 7:30 to about 10:45. Not bad… but after I lost control of the class I … well… almost fell asleep the rest of the day. Once almost in my car hahaha, more like Spacing to the 9th degree (in my car), so don’t worry. But yeah, same thing at church. I think I’ll go to sleep pretty soon.<\/p>\n
One more day at Sears, then on Monday I put in my one week notice, and let them know I am departing for Verizon.<\/p>\n
One thing that put me in a good mood was being able to talk to Hyun Chul today for a few minutes. I miss him, he is crazy haha—he introduced me to some of his Japanese friends.<\/p>\n
I think that is all from me tonight.<\/p>\n
” ‘Do not let your heats be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.’ Thomas said to him, ‘Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?’ Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’ ” John 14:1-6<\/p>\n
Pray hard, God Bless<\/p>\n
Ciao<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
