An Awakening

I wish I had more time to write here. I wish I had more time for a lot of things. But as any one over the age of 22 can tell you, life certainly has a way of keeping us busy. As you can imagine, I must stay pretty busy. I can remember a time when this thing was almost my life, when I would make it a point to write in here every single day. Now I'm lucky to do one or two posts a month. Oh well. I guess it just happens like that sometimes.

Truth be told, things have been up and down for me. My now former program director got fired a couple of weeks ago. Heh, that's the second time in two years that I've been through that. But what made this one so different was that I almost got kicked out the door along with him. Apparently, I was accused of some dirty dealings. Of course, none of this happened and I'm sure you can figure out that I'm still employeed. Anyway, I'm not going for the gig this time. I didn't get it last time and I honestly don't think I would this time. However I will say that the station is in good hands. Mojo's been doing an outstanding job at handling everything and I really hope that he gets the gig.

I found an awesome church to attend! It's way different than any church I ever went to in Mississippi but I'll say that it's awesome. This place is really modern... they even meet in a movie theatre! No joke. It's an awesome place and you can check out their website which is: http://www.thepointechurch.net. The people there are really nice, they don't judge and even the pastor is way cool. I'll put it this way: He was preaching his message on Sunday and he was wearing a black button down shirt and jeans. So, that means it's really casual, which I like. Tuesday I attended the young adults Bible study and that was a really good experience.

I know it seems really sudden for me to get involved with a church and all. Over the last few weeks (really, months), I've been thinking of the direction my life has been taking. When I was younger, I was really involved in my home church. I attended every youth event, every Sunday service, sang in the choir and was active in other aspects of the church. As I got out of high school, all of that dwendled. When I moved up here, it became non existant. I got to where I hardly prayed, rarely read my Bible and was putting other things before God. God kept telling me that this path wasn't what I wanted to go down. One night as I was lying in bed, a voice plain as day said "you can't keep doing this." WHOA! But it was the truth. Right there I prayed, rededicated my life to Christ and set out to find a church and I have found one. I was really starting to hate who I had become. Generally, I was a person who stayed mad at the world all the time. I was stressing out over the littlest stuff and it was starting to really affect things. I know that things won't be perfect and that I'll still struggle from time to time but things are already much better than they were before.

I've been taking a hard look at some things in my life and I feel like I'm going to have to make a big decision or two here pretty soon. Sorry, not going to talk about it right now. At least, I don't want to until I pray about it somemore. One thing I know I'm done with is this silly "feud" between Randy and I. It's dumb and wastes energy that I could spend on positive things. I'm done with it. Randy, I'm sorry for all the shots I took at you on here and in other forms. I wish you the best with everything you set out to do in your career and life in general.

Your prayers for me are appreciated and if you need prayer about something going on in your life, please don't hesetate to let me know.

Well, that's about the biggest news in my life right now. I'm off to load in wild pods. God bless. :-)
