God has been convicting me recently about work. We have a pretty bad economy right now, and a lot of people are out of work. I know quite a few people who are struggling to find jobs.
God has GREATLY blessed me with two part time jobs: working at a yogurt shop and interning at my church designing bulletins, flyers, etc. And yet I sometimes take it and throw it back in His face wishing I could make money without actually having to work for it. This is not the way He has designed things to be, and I have been very ungrateful for the way He has blessed me and taken care of me. Without these two jobs, I wouldn't have been able to buy my own car and pay for a new transmission when it went out. Without these two jobs, I can't save money for future endeavors.
God, please forgive me for not being thankful for the way You have provided for me. Help me to be more thankful for my two jobs and the way You have taken care of me.

Nothing
This post I guess is really about nothing. I just want to keep up with this blog.
Right now I am listening to The Sorcerer's Apprentice soundtrack. Great music. I need to listen to more soundtracks more often. They are works of art. And when you are writing, they give a backdrop to your story I have found.
I need to do more writing. Especially since I want to be a screenplay writer. Or, more accurately, it is something I am interested in pursuing. But the only way to do it is to sit down and write. For me, I will start a story, but I have yet to finish one, and then when I pick it up months later to continue working on it, I have forgotten where I meant the story to go. It is a really bad habit I am trying to break. Not a good thing to have.
Now that I think about it, seeing things through to the end is something I need to work on in general. I struggle with it in writing, in making movies, in quite a few areas in my life. It is a weakness that is not very good to have. You don't get much done if you only start something and never finish it. I can think of countless things I have started and never finished. It is not a very good characteristic. I want to be a reliable person. If someone gives me a project, I want to be able to finish it. That is the responsible thing to do. If I can't finish the little things, how can I be expected to finish the larger things?
Food for thought.

Friday
Friday is finally here. I'm at work right now putting together the bulletin for Sunday. After that, I don't really have much else to do. Just answer phones and try to keep from being bored until 5 o'clock.
Tonight our youth group has Bible study and then the girls are coming over to my house for a sleepover. We're going to have so much fun! I can't wait.
Last Saturday, we took our youth group kids to the Sierra Buttes. It is so beautiful up there! We hiked 4 miles to lookout and then 4 miles back for a total of 8 miles. All the kids did amazing. One of the guys and I did some climbing, which was fun. We probably should have been using ropes, but we didn't have any with us. Praise God we weren't hurt, though, so it's all good. ;) I really enjoy rock climbing and just can't help climbing anything that is climbable. I have found that climbing natural rock is way better than climbing a man-made rock wall. There's just something about it that is so appealing. I think it's because you are out in God's beautiful nature and climbing allows you to see some amazing views.
That's about all I have for now. Have a wonderful weekend!
