good days

Well this post comes after a very good day. Yesterday the services went off without a hitch. Praise and worhip was great, the sermon was great and it all went smoothly.

We won our first and my last indoor soccer game. Finally! I've been playing keeper for the last 4 weeks and it was the best I've ever played. I blocked a penalty kick for goodness sakes. Well okay when I say penalty kick the dude completely stuffed it and it was moving about the speed of a pass from a 10 years old. Nonetheless, It was a penalty shot.

Afterwards, I went to see the Queensland Roar play the Newcastle Jets. Queensland has never beat them in Suncorp. Never even scored 1 goal against them. Well all of that changed last night. It was absolutely electric. The only issue I had was with some of the fans. I just don't think its team boosting to hurl insults at your players but thats just me.

So whats going on over the next couple of weeks. Let me break it down for you.

1. My flight leaves on the 27th of December.
2. I arrive in the US on the 27th of December (Don't you just love the time warp thing?)
3. On the 28th I believe I'll be going to Asheville to spend a couple days with my sister.
4. On the 31st I believe I will go home, say hello to my parents for a bit and chat and grab my car and then head out again.
5. Probably going to celebrate the New Year in SC but don't really have any plans as of yet.
6. I really really really need a job. I'm gonna need some mad cash and fast! I really gotta get started paying of the students loans that are sinking me quicker than brick in a swimming pool.

I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna have a dime when I land. With that said I'm not looking for charity I'm looking for a means to make some money. Keep your eyes out for me.

7. I wanna know who this Kath is that posted on my last post.

I hope to see everyone real soon. If I struggle to get around to where you live I'm sorry, I've gotta have money to drive :(

Futures

So it has definately been a while since I've made a post.

I've kinda gotten to the point with blogging that I never actually say how I feel or write what I'm thinking. If I can't do that to me there is no point in writing. I'm just always worried who's reading this thing cause I don't really know and worried about what they might think.

So whats been going on?

1. Celebrating Christmas in a tropical climate is taking some getting used to.

2. If I'm honest, I don't know what I'm going to be doing next. I'm quite conflicted. Do I apply here for a position where there is a need for pastors or do I look for a job in the church in the states where they are oversaturated? It's a tough call. The part that makes it difficult is having friends. I love all of my friends but at some point in my life...I'm just not going to be around them all. Its just how life works. College is long over and I just haven't moved on. As much as I would love to work in a church with friends, the likely hood that I'll ever have the opportunity to work with my "pastoral dream team" is in the low percentage.

3. I really just want to have a stable income. I'm tired of this moving around and never settling down bit. I need a solid position in a church somewhere where I can pay my student loans off. Thats all I care about when it comes to my personal comfort of all that jazz. No plasma tv's for me thank you.

If you still read my blog thanks. That one person out there.
