Pink bunnies and snuffaluffagus

No more school causes such visions....

You know, I don't think graduating has hit me yet. Nope, only the grueling strikes from my cousin has grazed my being. I picture dandelions and pink bunnies as the idea of no more homework enter my head. I am at peace.

Right now I am employed at the Luxurious Hampton Inn & Suites at NASA at the moment. It's where I have been working for the past couple of years. I like it. It's cozy.
However, my years at Hampton may soon find completion. Why? Well, being a graduated professional such as myself, I find that the hotel is not capable of sustaining the massive amounts of money I should be making. In fact, I am making about half of my potential pay. I returned here because I felt so welcome. They even held a job open for me... how could I reject such niceness? However, I sit perplexed everday realizing wondering what other career could I get myself into that pays more and that I enjoy equally?

My job dillemma also rests on other variables. As of last week, I found myself positioned among the youth and college ministries at Alvin Church of Christ. I'm excited because the Youth Ministry is gearing up for good things this summer and the college ministry is going to be building foundation with the help of myself and co-ministers. I am bewildered however as to how I can accomodate such a task since I have no experience in the field. I'll be gleaning from others in the church and other churches for help over the next few years so that our endeavors will be succcessful. If I become extremely active in the ministries, maybe I should keep my low profile job.

God's been great these past few weeks. I hope he's busy in your lives. Look to Him this week. He's got plans for you.

The beginning of the end

I'm graduating tomorrow!!!

Thats right buddy! I have been in school for 17 years and I am ready to bail! You know, it's kind of a sobering thought. I spent 17 years getting ready for life, and I still don't feel ready. Still feel kinda...incomplete cha know?

Last night was really relaxing. Some floor brothers of mine are renting out a cabin from the local state park for the summer and they had their welcoming party yesterday. At 8pm, they lit up a bonfire just a little ways from the lake and we sang around guitars, enjoyed smores and fireroasted hotdogs and stuff. We even had a little devo to end the night. I love staring into a flame while singing. I wonder what it is about fire that is so interesting. I think God was a pyro too because he always talked about light and fires of hell and, well, he even represented himself as a fiery pillar in Exodus. I don't think God has to worry about fire safety though. He did create it afterall. Your job is still safe Smokey the Bear. Do not fear.

Ok, so graduation practice is today. My parents are going to be here in the eve and things will be set. It'll be a little weird for me because the will be the first time that parents and I have been together since 3 years ago August. This should be interesting.

God has been great and I look forward to see what he's going to do with me over the next few years (God willing). I have no clue what to expect and I'm leaving it into his hands. Talk to God today. He likes ya.

Another one accounted for...

blessings that is.

So Mom has been working in her new position as Comptroller with Sizeler Properties Incorporated. She fathoms it greatly. She fancies the exuberant, laxed atmosphere. She has many maidens and lads to do her bidding. She has always been in accounting management, but she's always been stressed out because she had no one to assist her work. The responsibility of the accounting department rested on her shoulders with a minion or two to delegate work to. But now, she is working for a company publically trade on the New York Stock Exchange. A company that, she is confident, will take care of her till retirement. May God grant her that luxury!

As for me, I am at rest. I actually feel post-senior-project joy returning to my soul. The last project was turned in at 3:53pm Wednesday... and I haven't felt so free since 6 weeks ago. It's quite a treat. I'm very anxious about moving back to Houston. My parents have benevolently granted me a large sum of money that'll pay some bills off for me for the next couple of months. That'll help me settle in with more ease. God bless my parents!

I'm looking forward to being with the church family in Alvin again. I miss those kids (meaning adults also). They're a cool bunch. I can't wait to see the Nelson's again too. They make me smile...and laugh too. God bless them too.

WHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOO NELLY!

What a roller coaster ya'll... and I'm talking about Dollywood either.

SO MUCH OVER THE WEEK AND WEEKEND! Well, I won't get into it. The pennicle was when I lost my cell phone. Don't worry, a chick answered it and gave it back to me. God bless the woman's heart, I don't even know who it was. Maybe it was an angel!?!?! ... what's that song? Coulda be an angel...or something. Nah, just a benevolent heart out there who couldn't pawn my phone off even if they wanted to.

I thought today was going to be hectic, but it actually turned out great. I only had one class and even then, i was told that the final was non-comprehensive and a take-home... in MGMT ACCT!!! That reminds me to turn on the news and see if Christ returned.

Ok, i think thats enough taking.
