For any of you who still check xanga and who may or may not be interested, here is a brief update as to what's going on in my life now that I've graduated:
Despite all of my attempts to work at Biola I have been kindly informed, for most of the positions, that they have filled the position with someone who is more qualified than I am. So, I am still very unemployed, but as soon as I can get back down to So. Cal. I'm going to apply at Disneyland and if that doesn't work, I'll try my luck at various bookstores and what-not, maybe even city work, in the area. When I get back down, until I can afford a place to live, I will be residing in Garden Grove with my aunt, uncle, and 3 cousins....Of course a large part of me getting back down to Southern California depends upon my ability to learn/get comfortable with driving stick or buying a new car. I am hoping the latter because I have discovered that driving stick is a lot like math to me: I can do it, and I may even be able to get really good at it, but for the time being I hate it (with a fire-y passion)!
So, pray for me that I can survive this waiting that I'm doing, pray that I can either become comfortable with stick, or I can find a car soon. Also, for longer-term things, pray that I will be able to see what it is that God is calling me to do with the rest of my life. As weird as it may sound, for most of my life thus far, going to and finishing college had been my big goal, now that that's over, I have no idea what I'm supposed to/want to do. Well, other than opening that bookstore/tea/cafe with Becky! :D But God is re-revealing to me other things I'm moderately to rather extremely passionate about and I think that's awesome, but I have no idea what that means as far as what to do with that information as far as either a calling or a career goes.... Anyway. Thanks for reading! Until next time!
It feels like it was just a couple of weeks ago that I was finishing up my Astronomy homework from interterm! How is it already only a couple weeks before finals?! This semester has flown by at a pace which is still mind boggling! SO much has happened too! Well, as I head into my final finals week, EVER, I'm posting this to ask for your prayers. I need to focus so that I can get my work done. At the same time though, I really want to goof off and enjoy my last few weeks of college and on top of that I need to find a job for, at very least, the summer, and a place to live! On that front, I am currently going through the application process here at Biola for a couple of positions and I would really love prayer for that because one of those positions sounds right up my alley: Modern Languages Department Secretary!! I have turned in my application and am taking a standardized test on Wednesday to test my clerical abilities, and depending on that I may get an interview....so lots of prayer would be very very good. Thank you friends!
I cannot believe that I'm almost done with school! School has been such a huge part of my life and I'm freaking out a little to see it come to an end! It's definitely exciting, but definitely crazy! Anyway, I need to get to work on my homework, so that's all for now. I will try to keep everyone updated as to what's going on with my job stuff....thanks so much for the prayer!
Some of you may have heard about the situation, I know I have asked for prayer about it before here on my xanga page. But, I have been not very quick about getting information up on here, and in all honesty it has been because of a lack of information given to me. To cut my useless rambling....my cousin, Jeff Hann, who had been battling cancer for approximately the past three years, is out of pain now. God took Jeff home to be with Him on Friday, February 1st, 2008. It has taken me a long time to be able to post this because I don't want sympathy. I am sad that he is gone, but I can't say that I ever knew him that well, which I do regret. I am sad for my uncle and aunt and my grandma and grandpa who have to do something that feels and sounds so unnatural to a parent and grandparent, which is to bury your grandchild. At the same time though, I truly believe that Jeff is currently out of pain and in Heaven with his Creator and Saviour. Because of that, I'm a little jealous! For the obvious reasons of being in Heaven with my Saviour I am jealous of Jeff, but also for the fact that he is there with my grandmother (my mom's mom). Well there you have it. If you could please continue to be in prayer for my family, that would be greatly appreciated! I know my uncle, in particular, is, for good reason, having a very difficult time with all of this. Thanks.
a month since I last posted anything on here! Wow. Well, here's the quick and easy way to fix that (I'm posting). Last week was the Annual Torrey Memorial Bible Conference here at Biola University and for once in my being here, I did not go! Of course there have been various sessions in the past that I did not go to, but I did not go to a single session this time around. In fact, I wasn't even around to go to any this time around. I decided that after a good five month absence, I wanted to go home. I missed my parents, my house, my bed, my friends, and the weather! It was very nice and relaxing. I spent Wednesday 12-ish until Sunday at 2-ish in Sacramento and more specifically Elk Grove. I enjoyed spending time with mom and dad and it was fun to see trees that looked like they were on fire! It was good....there's not much more to say other than that, so I will leave it there. Until then.
