At the last PCC YA retreat called "Hot Water Weekend," I decided to consciously make the decision to accept Jesus Christ into my life. So I was baptised by salvation, and felt great for doing so. Shortly after this I felt a calling by God to go into the missions field. I heard about an opportunity to go India. I felt this calling because of how my heart reaches out for those in need. The people of India were desperately in need. There are apparently over one thousand casts in India. The caste system is related to the belief in reincarnation. If you are good in a life, then you will be given a better life. If you are bad, then you go down in the next life. The people who were in need of Christ's love were those of the lower caste called "Untouchables." They are called the "Untouchables," because of how they are to never be touched by anyone. What I would have done is to wash their feet. This, in addition to telling others of what Christ has done for them, would have been really something special. But, because of how I was being lasy and procrastinating, I never got the opportunity to go.
I am so thankful that God has given me this other opportunity to serve him. After I learned of not making the deadline for India, I still wanted to serve God. Then I came across an opportunitty that I had initially overlooked. Aperently the place where the gospel was born, needs it once again. I remeber an entry I wrote in my prayer journal about bringing peace to Israel. Suddenly, I knew what I was truly called to do. I then, with the help of a member of my small group, began to work on getting support in my mission to bring the Gospel back to where it started from. I recently have recieved the finacial support, and can't wait to go on my journey.

A View from the Other Side
A report came in the other day that was very interesting. Some scouts reported hearing something from the other side of the creek. Apparently, there is a whole other side that the enemy has been camping out on. I sent a couple of my best men on it, and they found out that it is true. The camp is located high above the swimming hole. There is a trail that leads down to the creek that can easily be accessed if you footing is sure. Not far away down creek is both a low water level access point and a suspension bridge. Knowing this information, I can only hope the demigods are ready if an attack comes.
Update on Life-Jobs
Well, I haven't written in this in a long time. I thought I would just write a couple of posts and see what happened. Since the last time I wrote in this blog, I have both lost and gained jobs. I decided to quit my job with RGIS because of a lack of advancement opportunities. It seemed the only way I was going to be able to advance in my career there was to count faster, and not sit on my ass counting out merchandise. The other reason I quit was because of schedule conflictions. They wanted for me to work over a special time for me, Hot Water Weekend. I consider that special because of a promise I made to a friend that I would help him out.
Lucky for me, I found a job right after quiting RGIS. It was with a merchandising company called Anderson Merchandisers. What they did was merchandise movies and music in Best Buy stores. I liked this job because it allowed me to pay off all of my outstanding bills. This was great because I became debt free. Not only that, I actually had some money now for other things. Sure, I did spend it frivoulously on things. But the point was I enjoyed my weath. I enjoyed it so much that I lost sight of really important things. Like an opportunity to serve God in India. (I tell more about that in another blog.)
Besides the money, there was trouble that came along with this job. Trouble in the form of my co-worker, Daniel. It seemed with him that I always needed to be at the job, even though I was not scheduled that day. What I was told by my boss, Mr. Rodriques, is that the shcedule was more of a guideline. I guess that's true. Besides Daniel's insistance of being with him working, there also came a lecture of what I should have done while on the job. Needless to say, I was both sad and relieved when I was let go of Anderson at the beginning of this year.
Above all of the short term jobs that I have held, there has been one job that I have held steadily over the time I have graduated. That has been Restaurants on the Run. Here at ROTR, I have found most of my time in the south area. I don't mind being in the south. It's just all the waiting around while orders come in that I have lost my mind from. Besides working in the south,I have occasionally been working in the city of San Francisco. This has been especially frustrating because I don't know the city all that well. I have gotten to know it a little better now.
Now, I am starting a job with The Home Depot as a sales lead. What I will be doing is asking people if they have any need for roofs, siding, or windows. If they do, then I will schedule an apointment for an estimator to come out. It seems like my perfume job where I tried to sell perfume, but I will see how it goes.

Frustration with my account
Today I learned that my account is in the negative of almost $100.00. The real frustrating part is that I thought my account was fine, only about $25.00. When I cheked up on it last Saturday, I had $220.00 in there. That was going to help pay for my going to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. But I was wrong about it. Aperently, the way things work in the online banking world is that they do things a little bakwards in how they make processing your transactions by taking your recent purcases, and saving them for last, or something like that. I don't know. I am just feeling a little angry right now, and it's making me have a involuntary spasm. I also get them whenever I become too overwhelmed about things in my life. After writing here, I am feeling a little better.
Another thing that anoys me is that I cant get to my cell phone a lot. It always seems to go to voincemail when I pick it up. I do check on it later, but the fact that the phone doesn't want me to answer the call right away iritates me.

Driving-a year later
I can't believe that it's been a year since I got my licence. The time has gone by fast. In the year since getting my licence, I have graduated from college, helped move my mothers business, and become a part of a young adults group. I don't think I could have done any of that without having a licence. I could still be doing all of that stuff, but minus the young adults group. I could not even have gotten a paycheck without driving for a delivery company.
But among the highlights of being a driver is recently getting pulled over by the cops. As it turned out, I have a brake light out and my registration was not placed properly. So, I now have a mark on my driving record which can be easily remedied with a visit to the courthouse. So, I now bid you all a fond farewell.

Attacks again
I have been having these attacks again. They seem to happen at high times of stress. I feel them especially when I have not gotten enough sleep. Sleep seem to be a good cure. But even after a good nap, I sometimes get these same attacks. I still have no idea what they might be.
Also, I have recently finished rereading both of Homer's epics The Iliad & The Odyssey. Both were a challenge to get through, especially The Iliad. But after completing these epics, I can safely say that I might rethink creating a epic poem for today's audiences. I don't seem to have the writing skills, or the time. I wish that I did have the time, but I want to find a job that pays better than my current one at "Restaurants on the Run." Job hunting is tough because of all the forms you have to fill out. I hate giving out the same information to different people. It's just annoying. The other part of finding a job is the cover letter. This is the part I don't mind because I get to write about myself rather than fill in the blank.

A New Year, same old problems
Well for anyone out there who is interested in what's going on in my life these days, I am pretty much doing the same as last year. The only difference is that I have a job. I did have two jobs, but one was just as an extra hand durring the holiday season. The one steady job I do have is a delivery driver for Restaurants on the Run. It's okay for right now. But I hope to get something better soon.
Also, I am halfway into my Presidency with my club of San Mateo Lions. they are a good group, but on a day to day basis, I feel a lot of outside pressure to do more for my club. Like right now, I am under pressure to put on a movie night at the local Boys And Girls club of San Mateo. I know I have a co-chair who is my dad, but I seem to be doing all of the work. It's just about killing me. I just hope that everything will go smoothly on Friday.
