Moving Forward

Vaycays all around

The last couple weeks have been kinda crazy. I officially quit my job and my last day is Saturday. Do I know where I'm going from here? Not a clue, but I'm excited. I do know that I'm going to Florida twice this month, so yahoo for that! I'm leaving Monday night to go down with Trent. As far as I'm concerned, the plan is to sit on the beach, play games, read, play guitar, worship the Lord, and just relax. How awesome does that sound? My brother might come, which would be awesome because he needs to get away as much as me and Trent do. He's had a rough winter too. We'll see. Plans change like every five minutes, so who even knows who is gonna end up coming? I'll get home from that next Sunday and then leave the following Thursday to fly down with my whole family to Orlando. We'll be going to Disney a couple of days day so Kayla and Alex can see Mickey and his homies, and I get to see my bff Stacy which I am thrilled about! I haven't seen her since August, so good times are sure to ensue. April should be a pretty good month for me, yeah? I'm thinkin so.
So, what else? Oh, at work today they did a little goodbye party for me which was really sweet. They got one of those giant Mrs. Field's cookies from the mall and it said "we will miss you." I also got a funny little card signed by everyone and an awesome mix CD from one of them too. Fun times. So I didn't think leaving a job that has been rough for me would be hard at all. But I've really come to like the people I work with for the most part. My manager has invited me to come back anytime because she'll always have a position open for me and also that she and her boss would write me awesome references. Thinking about it... I should just stay there. If I'm not in it for the money, which I'm not, then what the heck am I doing?
I was really excited about doing mission work and that's still in the front of my mind a lot, I just don't know how to get there. I don't know. It would be safe for me to stay at the store. It's easy for me, they love me, and I'm good at what I do. But I'd be going no where. I don't think my ministry thrives there. I know what God wants from me and I can't accomplish it there. It'd just be so easy if that were the case though, ya know?
Oh well. It'll all get figured out... in May, after my vacation month. :) Speaking of, I've got to go... I need to get to the tanning bed one or two more times before vaycay so I don't burn at all.
Here's something I read this week by Max Lucado... "Sin sees the world with no God in it. Where we might think of sin as slip-ups or missteps, God views sin as godless attitude that leads to godless actions."
Let me say again, God views sin as godless attitude that leads to godless actions. Wow. and Yikes. My attitude needs to be in check these days. It's something I'm working on. I have this tendency these days to pout when things don't go how I think they're going to or they happen change at the last minute. It's so immature and whinny.
So, that's it. I'm off the tanner... oh the wrinkles that are sure to come when I'm old! ;) Oh well! I'm living for now!
