Ready for the weekend!!

I need to get away. I've got so much on my mind and so many possibilities right around the corner.

I was approached by my boss yesterday about sticking around for another year. I didn't know what to tell him. I think I have a job next year, but nothing is concrete yet. I'm really excited about the possible job and am really looking forward to it now. It's funny that three weeks ago I was all about finding the next theatre gig. Now I can't wait to get out...that should say something.

Well I better get to work.

If you ever get a chance I highly recommend a book by Rob Bell called Velvet Elvis. It has some interesting stuff about faith, religion, Christ, etc. And it doesn't feel real preachy. Gotta go

I'm so done with winter!

So I was actually thinking about wearing a jacket this morning to work. Then on the radio it said snow...

I was a little confused because yesterday it was about 40 or so and almost all the snow had melted from the long winter. So I walked to work in my Columbia jacket and I'm glad I did cause it was cold. I got to work and when I took a break I finally saw daylight again. Much to my chagrin it had already snowed over an inch.

It is still coming down I think there's about 6 in. out there now. I'm so done with winter. I hope this is gone by next weekend.

That's going to be an awesome, busy weekend. I'm calling it my Planes, Trains, and Automobiles trip.

That's right.

I'll lay it all out for you. I'm excited. mainly because I've never taken a train, but because I can call it that for good reason. Here goes...

I'm being driven to Chicago on Sat the 29th. I'll fly to Omaha and be picked up and taken to Vermillion. I get to go to church on Sunday and in the afternoon it's off to mom's or grandma's...we'll see. Then on Monday I have an orthodontist appointment in the morning then it'll be back to probably verm-town. On Tues. I get taken back to Omaha where I'll fly out to Chicago. I'll take the el to Union Station...or maybe some other adventure...then I'll take the train back to Kalamazoo. I still haven't figured out how to get back to my house. I might just walk.

So that's it. My adventure for next weekend.

I meant to post this yesterday, but I left work and left this in a half done state and I'm finishing it today. We just got done with dry tech for foursome. I think it's going to be a great show. I'm sticking around for opening night and then I'm off on my adventure.

Question of the day...

So if you had a choice between your career or your passion, which would you choose?

I know it's a tough one but think about it. If you had one job offer in your field and it was decent money and another job offer in your passion area-not the greatest money and but you were super excited about it and just to add interest to the mix you felt called to do it, what would you do?

I have a feeling that this might happen to me in the near future and I'm getting somewhat scared about the whole situation.

I know that this is somewhat ongoing, but it is still ongoing because no one is giving me final answers....and it's somewhat frustrating.

I'm getting a massage now so I gotta go. More later...hopefully soon.

The Job Search

So it continues. . .


Now I've been contacted by MIT-that's right THE MIT--as well to inform me that I'm still in the running for a position with them. They informed me that I would be contact by the end of this month or the beginning of next month. I was contacted on Sunday by Colorado State University with a similar statement. I wish these institutions would be a little more decisive so I can be. I'm still of the opinion that I'm not going to be offered any of them, which is for the better I feel. I'd like to be...for obvious reasons. But I really am starting to believe that there is a greater purpose for me being in Kalamazoo, MI. I'm not sure exactly what it is; I just feel like it is there, somewhere beneath the surface. I am (im)patiently waiting for answers. I feel like there will be a storm of some kind within the next couple of weeks. I can/can't wait. I have been participating in a Sunday school class that is called Experiencing God. It has been somewhat productive...more reaffirming things I already know and frustrating me slightly. I just got done with a lesson on patience. And it mentioned my favorite bible verse Isaiah 40:31


I get it. I can take a hint. I'm suppose to wait. Much of my time in prayer has been just that; asking for patience and giving me the fortitude to withstand the next few weeks. Of course I may end up on the street next year due to indecision. My belief is that God is a provider and I will come through this as long as I can WAIT and let him do his will so that I can join him. Any suggestions on how to pass the time?
