The Journey...


So I’m totally enjoying my day off and figured it has been a while since I wrote anything in my blog. Well, here goes…

I’m really grateful that I got the job at Budget mainly because I think that even while I’m in school I can work on my financial future. I really don’t want to come out on the other hand with nothing in savings and having debt. I also see it as an opportunity to work on replacing my bike and invest in some digital imaging equipment.

I must confess that I am a bit intimidated by the being completely out of realm when it comes to customer service, but I guess it is something worth exploring especially within the relative safety of living with my parental units for the moment. After all isn’t the history of my family based on dealing with challenging situations?

This past weekend saw the close of the 2008 Alberta Campmeeting and I must confess that I have mixed feelings about the whole affair. While there were some really nice moments where I was reminded that I was loved by God, I still feel disconnected from the SDA church.

I was reminded that I couldn’t look to anyone else as perfect Christian examples and so much plays into a person’s spirituality more so than what religion they belong too. Moments like that made me feel lonely but I realize the loneliness stems from the fact that I need to spend more time with God and concentrate on where He is leading me. Otherwise I will be overwhelmed by the choices and options out there.

For now I am content to focus on my goals and dreams with the understanding that modification, setback, and re-evaluation are all part of the journey.
