The Legoland Convention

maybe i won't look for a new job right away. i was frustrated because it seemed that nothing was working out and nothing was opening up for me. and then God spoke. i don't know if i haven't been listening well, or if He just has chosen to remain silent, but it has seemed like a long time since i have heard Him. but when a number of other believers who you trust tell you the exact same thing at different times...you have no choice but to pay attention. so i'm keeping my options open, but not fretting so much. so what if i am not a credentialed, licensed "minister" for God right now? i'm in a place surrounded by people who need love. i'm in a position of leadership, even if it doesn't look like what i thought. the place i work is so corrupt in its own way and i'm sure that i do stand out, even if it seems small to me. i don't gossip about my other co-workers, i don't complain constantly (at least not while at work, i save that for later, hehe), i don't swear. these are just small things, but there is so much potential for me to love and care for those i work with. and all i've been is stubborn. i can't say i'm looking forward to working there for the summer. but i feel there is hope. that i am in the right place for now. and knowing that makes all the difference.
thank you for the happy birthdays.
it was a grand day.
i miss you all. but i like where i am today.
ooh, and today we had dan's parents over for dinner for the first time and i cooked a whole meal for them. it was quite exciting. and it turned out good too. it was a surprise birthday dinner for dan's dad - and i think he was pretty happy. that made me happy.
and we're going to courtenay on sunday.
and it's almost Easter. hooray!
it's a good time right now
