what things have taken me far?
I had a good night at youth group. seems like when I want to decide not to do something I find myself liking it more than I ever had. Man, I'm actually in a good mood. Well, I think i just feel good about myself right now. Like, I'm good at something after all!!
God has a strange way of reaching people that aren't reaching fo him. I want to want to give him everything but it's always half-assed. I'm such a half-asser. lol that sounds so funny, I coined a phrase. But I only half-ass things in my life, not so much at work. It seems the only place where I find any knind of satisfaction and "joy" is at work where I am good at my job. I wish it were someting a little more important than a grocery store. It is a good place to work, I am just tired of it and it doesn't pay that much. My main concern right now is to get some kind of financial stability where I don't have to worry about paying bills. Plus with some kind of stability I think I would be in a better situation to marry. Not that that is a chance any time soon, by the looks of it. I suck................sometimes.
Time seeems to be slowing down. which is good. let's see how long it lasts

hey jason, you know i really dont think badly of you being a superdupervisor at a grocery store. it really doesnt come across to me and a dumb job, or an un-seirous job. like think of cory's dad on Boy Meets World, he was a grocer too, and he was like aprofessional guy.
I love Boy Meets World!
And yes, I say having a job in the first place is a blessing and it doesn't matter what it is as long as you're making money. But if it doesn't make you happy, that's when you gotta move on
i don't find joy at my job, and i'm not particularly good. i think i am not good, because i don't really believe in trying to upsell. if people want to buy, they'll buy, why should i try to encourage them to spend more? seems silly to me. but i too think that if you can find enjoyment in your job, then there is nothing wrong with staying....unless your a hitman, then maybe you soudl reconsider your line of work.
you're not a hitman are you?
sorry, i can't answer that last question............. ;)
yeah, it's not a bad job or a bad place to work, I just feel so stuck right now. I don't make enough to live alone and I'm now doinganything exciting, not that that is always important, but it certainly feels blah...
I think God gives us these times on purpose. I think he wants us to have a job that's blah, and not make enough money and struggle to pay rent for a reason. When you get that job that you love (making music videos?) and get to a great, stable place financially, you will never take it for granted and be even happier in it because you know the alternative. For me, it's money. I struggle right now and that's okay, because when I graduate and hopefully get a good job I will be ever thankful for it and never get myself back to this situation again (spending quick just because I have it!). I'm actually working on being thankful for this place I'm in because I know when things change, I'll be even more thankful because I know how good I have it.
Something I've been learning is that I can't be at my job to get money and to have a good job. but rather knowing that God's placed me in a unique place as ministry to all those around me-those i work with and those who come into my work and interact with me. My first and foremost purpose in being there is to glorify Him and point others to Him. The money is just a bonus on the side of my true purpose in the job where God has placed me for now.
