Oh Man

So much has gone on since I last posted here. I am in a relationship with a wonderful girl and things are going good. We got a little over zealous at first but we had a talk and agreed that we needed to take a couple steps back, which is always harder than moving forward in a relationship. There are some things I think we both need to sort out personally and we just need to get to know each other better before we get too serious. To be honest her parents are causing a lot of grief on my part. They are a little overbearing in my opinion and from some of the things she has related to me they don't really agree with her dating me (or really anyone at this time in her life). So that is something that I need to think about because it is hard on me knowing that.

Also I had a job interview today and I think it went very well. It would be a position as an in home behavior therapist for autistic children. I know it will be a challenging job but I think it will also be very rewarding. The guy that interviewed me definitely liked me, I only hope he has a strong word on who gets the position. I should know within a weeks time if that person is me.

Other then that I am just plugging away at school. Classes have been good, although a little boring (especially math!). So far I have been getting A's and B's on all the quizzes and tests so I think this will be another good semester as far as that goes. I just need to convince myself not to miss too much class time so that the grades don't start slipping. That's all for now I guess, I got some homework to work on.

Luke 12:29 "And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried."

New Beginnings

So that girl that I met in my Social Psychology class turned out to be an amazing girl. We hung out for hours after class the other night and have been talking a lot lately, really getting to know each other. We have decided to give it a chance and see what comes of it. I am already really enjoying her. We have a lot of similar values and views. We have a lot of common interests, and I feel like we are just really compatible. I have to check myself a little bit though because I have been single for a while, being picky looking for that special connection, and now that I think I have found it I just want to go full speed ahead. I'm finding myself sitting here trying to describe her and it is harder than I thought it would be. There is just something different about her, she is such a relief in a world of mundane conformity. All I know is she has got my attention and I can't wait to see what she reveals to me next. I think a big part of her appeal to me is that she is real. If you look back far enough there is a post on this blog about people being fake, and from what I've seen of her so far there is not a fake bone in her body. Then there are her eyes. I am a big believer that eyes are the gateway to the soul. I don't necessarily think you can put half the things you see into words but its almost like a subconscious reading of a persons innermost being, and when I look into her eyes there is nothing that makes me feel like I should be cautious. I feel like I am stumbling through this trying to find the right words, I hope you know what I am trying to say.

Proverbs 16:3 "Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established."

P.S. I started getting these verses from a website that generates random verses and it is amazing to me how fitting they are in most cases.

Say No To Materialism

People are way to obsessed with materialistic things. What really triggered this post is something I heard the other day. I heard that some people from the plane that landed in the Hudson are getting together and suing the airline. Here they are lucky to be alive and rather then being thankful they see it as a way to gain material riches. It makes me sick really. Someone that called into a radio station I was listening to gave the best example of why this is ridiculous. The caller was a long haul trucker and as he stated other cars cut him off and pass on the right and do any number of things that put him in danger on a daily basis. So should he right down the license plate numbers of all those drivers in order to track them down and sue them? No, danger is a part of everyday life. The only reason these people are suing is they have made material wealth their idol. There is only one God and you can't worship Him as well as other things. It is stuff like this that makes me think this world is going down hill fast. I only hope there are more people like me who just don't speak up so much.
