| It is so weird being home, I have been living on my own for a little bit, and let's just say I really really liked it! and now it is such a challenge, I am sure that most people have done this before, but it is new to me.
I have so much time now that I am actually posting something on xanga. I used to post stuff on xanga all of the time and now it is like three times a year if that. Which is probably good, I have so many other things to concern my time with.
Okay, Well
Merry Christmas to all and to all have a good night :) | | |
| I realize that asking for forgiveness is not difficult, (in most cases)
but the real hard part is acting as if you have been forgiven ( in all cases for me) | | |
| Quisiera ser una misionera. Pero no sé si dios me ha llamado a ser una.
Realmente me pierda Indonesia y la gente. Muchos veces yo pienso en ese país. Yo tengo mucho recuerdos buenos. A veces, puedo recordar ciertos olores. Y me hace querer volver. aye aye aye
Realmente me pierda Honduras también. No puedo recordar los nombres de los niños, pero yo recuerdo sus caras. Ahora es difícil para mí escribir en español. Probablemente yo he olvidado de la lengua. | | |
| I haven't been on xanga in a while, so I was slightly confused on how I write an entry.
Philippians 3:13-14
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Ohh man, so I am reading this book, and I am feeling so challenged, right now I am in the chapter where it talks about suffering. I know that it will come because it has come, selfishly and immaturely I don't want to. This book stabbed at me constantly in areas of my life where change is apparent and necessary.
When I read Paul's words I can't help but think about this man's maturity in Christ and the trials He went through daily. I try to think of examples in my life where it has happened to me, but the truth is, I have been so set on living a life of pleasure and comfort that I have missed those moments.
I have got so much to learn
I will press on. | | |
| Well. . . . I really like my job. I can't believe that I really like it. I mean I liked my quality control job, then I liked my stamping job, and now I like my shipping job. I like working in the factory, well this factory. I think that I like it because I know that it is not permanent and I am going to be leaving soon, well August, but that is sooner than 30 years or later you know.
I work with this girl who is my age and she is really sweet, she used to be a Christian until some unfortunate events and fell somewhat away, but she still sees the value of having a relationship with the Lord, which is the one thing that she is worried about with marrying this one guy, who is not a Christian. I am praying that she gets her walk with the Lord worked out to the point where she follows Christ instead of this other guy.
Then there is this lady who works there that is older than my parents but watches MTV! I think that it is hilarious that someone who is over the age of 50 watches shows like Big & Rob or whatever it is called, I don't watch TV so I really don't even know what is on.
Then there is this other guy that works there that is exactly 17 years older than me, we both had the same exact birthdays!!! Except that he was born 17 years before me. Anyways, he is hilarious also! I mean he makes me laugh at least 5 times every day I work with him. Unfortunately, he says some pretty inappropriate things according to my standards and it makes me sick. However, I have become strong and more vocal about where I stand and he is getting better at that, which I am very thankful.
Everyone in the entire factory knows that I am a Christian. I don't know how, but they do know. Let's just say that I don't go out of my way to tell people about my faith. I just ask them questions about theirs and if they are interested in mine I will share.
I really like listening to my coworkers perspective on issues whether that be political or moral or religion. . . Then I contrast to those perspectives from ball state. Some of them are the same, especially any topic relating to religion, and some of it vastly differs especially morally and sometimes politically.
Factory life is refreshing from college life and college life is refreshing from factory life. There are things of both worlds that bother me and things that I love. I think that everyone should try it out sometime. It is quite an experience that you won't forget.
I just think of it as my little Japan in Winchester. (It's a Japanese factory that I work in by the way) | | |
