My Skipping Lord of the Rings DVD
Yeah it's quite frustrating actually.
So great news!!! I just got hired on permanently at A&E Graphics Complex!!!! I'm only semi-excited however. I mean, God has blessed me with a job that pays the bills and complete medical coverage. However, it's a position that doesn't require a degree and I always have a sneaking suspicion that I can find a better position elsewhere that pays more. At the moment, I don't even make enough to get my own apartment.
Commercial Printing not an industry I'm ecstatic about, but it will do until I find the industry I am passionate about. Maybe I should look into the postal service. Being for real! You know those suckas start off at like, $18/hour? Yeah, your thinking about it too now, huh?
This past week, I also contemplated getting a second job. Johanna, my boss from my old job contacted me to get my address so she could mail me my W2. She also mentioned that she could use some help if I needed some extra cash. I miss the hotel industry, so I think I might there 10-15 hours a week. That'll get some extra cash flowing to pay the credit cards off quicker.
Things are on the DL in the church family. We had two baptisms in the last month, Evan and Zach, praise God! Baptisms are so refreshing to me. I love seeing a new life experience the peace, love, and dedication from God and respond to it. Their is another soul that Jerry is walking with who has questions about Christ and the church. Her name is Ashley, a relative of the Fletchers. I sat in a Bible study on Thursday in which we just answered the basic questions about life and what faith in God means. The discussion took many turns, one of them leading to values in Christian living. Ashley asked the interesting question "What are values?" The room sat quiet as we contemplated how to answer the question. It's hard how to define that word without out using value as the definition! Dictionary.com describes it as a principle, standard, or quality considered worthwhile or desirable. I think that's fairly adequate...it makes sense too!
What do you define as your values? What do you consider worthwhile and desirable? Christ spent a lot of time dealing with those questions during his ministry on earth. People on earth spend time doing and investing into what they consider worthwhile. Satan spends his time confusing what is desirable and worthwhile. Is drinking at a club more worthwhile than helping a widow get herself off the street in a warm home. Is finding the best pornographic sites more worthwhile than spending time with a child do their homework. It happened then; it's happening now.
Jerry challenged us to find a story about Christ everyday this week to determine the values he wanted to instill in us. The values that would make us feel alive and less empty in everyday living. I'm gonna spend sometime in Luke and see if I can discover something new. I challange you to do the same!
Because of the Messiah,

I hope you find Him everyday, not just this week. And you are truly blessed for having the open eyes, ears, and heart to find Him.
I am more of a seeker than a believer, and more of a doubter than a seeker. But in my core or core, I know that God will find me. He always does. I just need to be more dedicated in my search.
