An August Rush

It’s hard to believe that a week ago I had nothing to do and just lounged around. Since then I’ve become so flustered with everything that’s going on, I’m just waiting for it all to pass.

If you haven’t already heard, yes in fact I have gotten a job at Pancho’s, which isn’t too bad so far. My boss is awesome (generally able to work around the church meetings), the hours are great (from 4pm to closing), my coworkers are sweet (either friendly or familiar), and the work load isn’t too bad either.

My dad is swinging through the area, because of something having to do with his car and New York. I am really shaken up about this, mainly because it’s been roughly 4-5 years since I’ve last seen him. He’s coming today as a matter of fact, but I have work today as well. Luckily enough it’s my last day as a trainee, so I don’t have to go in until 6pm. I just feel like my new-found job is keeping me from spending an extended time with my dad, for I also have to work Wendsday, but I don’t want to make a schedule change after working only 3 days. So basically this conflicts with any possibility of me going with him to New York. Quite honestly, I have no idea how long he’s planning on staying in this area, which really makes planning any type of arrangement in itself impossible. I guess bottom line is that I feel like 1-2 days seems like a waste of time after waiting for years….but then again patience is a highly-regarded attribute that’s been rewarded in many cases throughout the bible.

That’s the other thing. I wanted him to witness a CT, or at least chat with Keith (if that’s alright with you Keith), because the church group is the most significant change in my life, and I would want nothing more (except to enter an eternity of grace with the Lord) than for him to experience it as well.

Hahaha, I can’t help but remember my last little turmoil that’s refreshing itself in my brain every minute or so. The assingments from the groups of Xenos are a real thorn in my thumb. Don’t get me wrong, I love learning about the Lord, and once I get into the assignments I feel so spiritually enriched, but the mindset I have on homework keeps me from this awesomeness. I’ve always hated homework with a passion, and my mind always tries to weasel its way out of the experience. Basically it takes a LOT of effort for me to willingly learn. I guess it’s mainly due to the laziness that’s been dwelling inside of me my whole life. I can honestly say it’s a real problem I have, to actually go from doing what I want to do to what I need to do.

I’m sure to many (if not all) who are reading this can say that it’s just something to overcome and deal with, and that is definitely something I’m working towards. I mean honestly, if it weren’t for Joe’s persistance, I would for sure be jobless to this day and just lounging around telling myself I’ll get to it later.

I know this whining and complaining is probably getting to you by now, so I’ll end it here for now, and go to learn something.
