  • Love of my life

    Love comes in really strange packages.
    Mine came in an eight pound fur infested type package.

    Her name is Scout and she is all that is good in the world.
    (Even though she is currently eating all of my good fountain pens)

     

    In other news, grad school (or at least the program that I am going through) is not all it's cracked up to be. Of course, I would probably feel otherwise if I were at least studying something I had some sort of interest in:

    "Never label your children. You do not have lazy students, you have students that often show signs of lazy behavior."

    Excuse me? Who does that? Is she fo' real?
    "Excuse me ma'am, but I am pretty gosh darn sure that I just have some freakin' lazy children. Just sayin'. "

     

    However, there is always that glimmer of hope on the horizon. That silver lining that says, "No, Emily. You won't be there forever. Someday you will be able to study what you love, get married and have those 2.5 children and be that happy average American with the white picket fence, dog in the yard and smiling Bob husband."

     

    And somehow, I esteem to be more than even that...
    I don't think I'm settling.

     

    You are my shepherd, teach me to want what You want for me...

    Never, ever, EVER say...

    Never.

    Seriously.

    God and I have a funny relationship. This is usually how it goes:
    I tell Him what my plans are and how I plan on executing them.
    And He laughs and me.
    I mean, He's not rude or anything, but I can actually imagine Him throwing back that almighty head of His and givin' his knee a good slap as He looks at me and says, "Really? Are you serious?! Man, you're funny kiddo. You know that whole, 'I know the plans I have for you says the Lord' thing that is in my book? Yeah, I'm gonna let you figure this one out on your own."

    I truly believe He wants to give me the desires of my heart, but me and my 'nevers'.
    And I 'never' a lot.
    Crap, I tend to 'never' all over myself...and often.

    So proof? Okay.

    In the past I have said:
    I will NEVER teach high school.
    I will NEVER teach in a public school system.
    I will NEVER teach in Hot Springs.
    I will NEVER be happy doing any of these things.

    Guess what...
    I am applying to teach at a local public high school in Hot Springs to teach theatre and oral comm.
    And I am excited about it.

    If you don't think God has a sense of humor...just read my blog one more time.
    Because He does. Man, He really, really does...

    Yeah...

    So summer. Never been a big fan of it. At least, how time seems to fly on the days you want it to crawl and crawl on the days you want it to fly.

    Very crawl-y for me. Oh the plight of the unemployed.

    However,

    There is this job in Little Rock (*sanctified bovine, it's a dream job!!*) that seemed to open (*it's not in the classifieds--right people right time sort of thing*) that would be really wonderful to work at (*wonderful--HA--insert gleeful*) at this church (*amazing church--went there Sunday, it was fantastic*) with great opportunity for me to grow as a creative artist (*you have no idea how cool this is...notice all the star thingys--THAT'S how cool this job is*). So now what?

    Waiting...

    Ah yes, the waiting game. The "trust" game and the "faith" game (all those games I am NOT good at playing...especially since I am the one making them into games...)

    And as much as I love my family, I really need to move out.
    If there is anyone out there that would like to pray with me that would be quite nice.

    This could be my God-send.
    (I pray it is.)
