Two Things

I have currently been working for a bank for a little over three months, and I am currently not happy at were things are headed, so I think it is about time that I start looking for another job. I know that companies will take a risk over hiring someone who has only been working for such a small time, but I have got to find something were I am happy and I can put my knowledge and skills to work, and that is not with a bank. So, with saying all of that, I have decided to give youth ministry another shot. I am applying for other jobs, but I feel that I am being called to minister to teenagers. This is were I feel like I am being put use, and I actually making a difference. So, you may ask, why would you want to do something like this, again. I do not miss the ridicule over things that I could not do, and things that I did. I want my ministry to make a difference. I miss the building relationships with the teens, and just being able to talk to them and encouraging them to keep going. So, I guess you could say that I am glutting for punishment, but I feel out of place at my current job, and I want to place my life in the the lives of teenagers. I am have been going back and forth on this decision for the past couple of weeks, and aftering watching, "Facing the Gaints," I realized that God has a bigger purpose for my life. I may take me a couple of weeks to to hear back on the jobs that I have applied for, but with God everything is possible. This may not work out the way I want, but if not I will give God my all, whatever God decides I will praise Him.

One of my good friends, Walt is getting married, this weekend. I have only known Walt for almost a year, and he has become one of my best friends. If it were not for Walt, I do not know how I could have made it through this last summer. Walt has been there when I have needed him. God put Walt in my life, and he has made a difference in my life. I am truly going to miss having him here, in Montgomery. I am excited for Cristin and him, and I can not wait to travel up to Huntsville, this upcoming weekend for the wedding. God has put so many people in my life. I know that I have friend that I can count on for years to come, and maybe one day, I will be back in Tennessee, and our paths will cross, again.
