The wisdom tooth pain has returned and it is out for vengeance with pain! I have been taken pain medication all day to keep it tolerable but right now it is just awful. It has been quite a while since I updated to let me fill you in on what is happening. I did get a new job at old national bank as a computer operator third shift. This job is quite a blessing and is just what I need to get started in a career in technology and networking. I had to jump through a number of hoops to get into this job such as; interviewing three times, drug screening, background check, reference check on four people, and a reference check at ITT. The job duties are monitoring computer systems, monitoring ATM's, Job execution, backups, printing statements and forms, maintaining computer room equipment, recognition of issues, and problem solving. The computer operator position also entitles me to answer a wan support hotline and troubleshoot. This job isn't exactly what I went to school for, but it's a good way to get my foot in the door and get some experience in the IT industry. My first day is Saturday As for the hardcore devotional well I didn't finish it, nor will I most likely. Just like my girlfriend LaDawn I could not get into the material of the book, call me weak if you want but that book is no joke and it takes a lot of discipline to stay with it. I did make it to day ten of it though, that is farther then my girlfriend got hah hah. I still have not been on face book or MySpace which is good I guess, I will get back into that come Easter probably until then I can hang to stay off the peer to peer sites. I actually started up in my independent study at Trinity and am taking my first class which is Bible Study Methods. My textbook and workbook come from Howard G. Hendricks Living by the Book the Art and Science of Reading the Bible. I was looking through some testimonies of the book and apparently this one is a big deal. The bible study book of all bible study books is what this book is. Breaking into this book I read about four chapters yesterday and barley broke into the fifth chapter today. The material is eye opening, I am seeing the Bible in a way that I have never seen it before and this is only the first step which is observation, I have yet to even break into Interpretation and Application. My girlfriend is in Chicago with her host family and it is sad, I have not seen her and it really makes me sad. I miss her smile, her voice, her presence, her lip biting face, hah hah okay I just miss her altogether. She keeps me informed about how her days are going but you know it isn't the same. Today she checked out Moody College and loved it. She said she is defiantly going and does not care if she has to apply five times. Sounds like good school for sure, I don't know how easy it is to get in over there but I bet once you are in it is all goooooood! I am glad she is having a good time, it makes me smile. I love her. My friend Matt Goodin is apparently moving to California sometime within the week or next week. That really took me by surprise considering I had been trying to get a hold of him for at least a week and no answer. When Goodin finally does manage to pick up the phone he lays that one on me. I am happy for him though, he is going to start fresh and get out of the atmosphere that he fell into and couldn't seem to climb out of. Joe Kingston is a new friend of mine, I scored him a job working for Kenny after hours and he likes it. I try to slip in some gospel talk every now and then and I think it is really starting to grow on him. Pray for this guy, he is a good guy at heart, and with Christ by his side I know he could make a difference in this world for the better! Church is good, life is stable, God is slowly showing me what is up, I really can't complain. I am blessed beyond reasoning and it is all thanks to our mighty Heavenly Father. Sometimes I fall short and sometimes I know when I am falling short and it just happens anyway. I am working on trying to be more like Jesus Christ. I have fallen a bit though, we all do, no one is consistently just rising to the top, we all fall and we just have to get back up and rise up. My girl and I were getting pretty hot and heavy but we have managed to tone it down a bit. God showed us what was up and spoke though my pastor about two weeks ago I believe. Well that is about it for now, I have work early tomorrow so I am going to attempt to catch some shut eye. Hopefully the tooth pain will continue to sustain its self a bit so I can get a good nights rest.
God Bless, and Have a Jesus filled day!
