Another year


So this past thursday was my 26th Bithday. I had a great time with a group of my friends at the Cheesecake Factory.

However, I also kind of celebrated all weekend. I decided that since I did not have to go on an interview that I was going to go to Asheville. Joelle and Elizabeth, my two best college friends, still live there. I got to stay with Elizabeth and got to know her boyfriend better. We did a lot of things with Brandon, the boyfriend. I went and saw them in the holiday prade that they were in with their church. Last night Elizabeth and I meet Joelle at the Grove Park Inn. We went around and saw all the gingerbread houses, look in some stores, and had quile legs and chocolate cake at the Blue Ridge Room. It was a blast. I some how realized that I have changed in my way of thinking a lot since I have been at Candler. I am more liberal and that is not a bad things. However it does put a little bit of a drift between my college friends and I.

Falling apart

So I now have a third major medical problem this semester. First surgery for my gallbladder and the complications from that. Second I broke my left wrist two weeks ago. Now I have a Kidney Stone!! This had to happen on the day that I would be leaving for Texas for an interview with a church. They however have been great and I will be going to do my last interview sometime in the next few weekends (probably next weekend). I am so angry about all this illness. I have never been this sick during a school semester before. I kind of feel like my body is falling apart and well I am way too young for that to be happening.

Crazyness

So I have felt a little out of place lately. I broke my arm falling down a flight of stairs in my house. Poor Lynn fell behind me and kind of slid down but I went down on my left wrist and snap. One more reason to feel behind this semester. Luckily it was a clean break and I only have a soft brace/cast.
Also I am finally getting places with my job hunt. I have been talking to a church in Texas and one in Washington (the state). I am heading to my third and what should be my final interview with the church in Texas this Friday. I will be down there with them until Monday. I am so excited and nervous as well. I cannot believe that I am finally in a place where I am going to get a full time ministry job. I am waiting on my second interview with the church in Washington. I don't know where I am going to end up but I know God is with me. Please pray for me and my search.
Finally I got my alumni email address today. I feel so official. I am finally going to graduate from Candler School of Theology and go out into the real world. This step has been 3 1/2 years in the making. Now I just have to make sure I pass all my classes this semester. Wish me luck!!
