Only a week and I'm weak
So, I've been home for about a week now and what have I done? You guessed it! I've done nothing but work. Don't get me wrong I'm in serious need of the money, but working 11am-10pm on Christmas Eve and 8am-2:30pm on Christmas day is not what I had in mind when I asked for hours. I'm at a loss really. I've been working the same mundane job since I turned 16... 7 years! Not only does that make me old... it makes me pathetic. I've never really tried to get another job that pays more because I'm really comfortable doing the job I do. It's easy and brainless. What's sad about it is that I have really good friends who have dedicated their lives to doing the job I do.Anyway, enough about that. I think you get the fact that I'm bored with work. My sister, brother-in-law, and niece are here, which is really great... I haven't got to spend much time with them due to the afformentioned job situation, but it's nice nevertheless. I'm still not done Christmas shopping, but hopefully tomorrow will be my last day. Shopping is nuts.
Like I said, I've only been home for a week, but it already seems like an eternity because I'm missing people already. If you don't know who I'm referring to by "people", count yourself lucky. I've talked to people on the phone, but it's a total bummer because things are already different. One week! I just have to keep reminding myself that life goes on and God is going to be by my side no matter what happens. That's not the first thing that pops into my head when I'm bummed out and maybe that's part of the problem right there. Who knows. All I know is that after I got off the phone today the only thing I wanted to do was fly back to Indy. I never thought I'd find myself saying that at all. Freakin Indiana. If I didn't have to go to class it probably wouldn't be as bad... wait a minute... yeah it would. It's Indiana. I love my family though and I am always wanting to come home because normally I have no reason to want to stay... this time is different in that I have a reason to want to stay.
Anyway... all of this to say that prayers would be appreciated. No worries though folks... tomorrow is a new day and I am a new creation. Here's something that gets me through...
"When your lonely
And it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
There is hope for the helpless
Rest for the weary
Love for the broken heart
There is grace and forgiveness
Mercy and healing
He'll meet you wherever you are
Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus"
Still loving this song... still loving Third Day.
