In the middle of a very long week. How has yours been? It is my BIRTHDAY WEEK! I usually don't celebrate such things but hey why not. Here is to my last 5 days of being 38. And all that comes with it. Yeah for my birthday this week on Thursday. Don't ya be forgetting it!!
1. My former church pastor Mike died on Wednesday. He was 53. I was about to say 'only' but I have been working to train myself to not say this. I read something once that said we say that someone is young when they die (they were 'only' insert age) but who is to say that matters to God? He has a day for us all to die so to say that person was ONLY that age even if it is seems young is wrong. God wants us believers all home with him and one day we all will be. Till then He will keep bringing us home the date we are assigned to die whether that date for us seems young or old in the end to be not here on earth is to be with Jesus forever. Amen. So back to them dying. It is sad though for his wife and two daughters. He's been sick for a while and defined odds. And in the end what got him was what he was fighting to not get. It was still a bit of a shock as he might not have been teaching at church for a while now but they kept acting like and even saying he was getting better. But he looked bad and kept going into the hospital. So truly it was a matter of time. He is happy now we are sad. Sorry for CCOS I am praying for them all!! My parents are very sad too they loved him and were close to him. I didnt know him that well but from what I did he was a nice guy with a lovable smile and a fun attitude and a strange sense of humor. I had this flash back to him back in 2011 my sister and me did the choir at the church for Christmas time. He always had this Birthday Jesus button he wore NOT SMALL very large. He had that on for the Christmas Eve service and came up to thank us all for coming and I think shook hands or something. I mean it was cool to be there and he was a cool guy. Another shell on facebook now someone who died and I was friends with now they are gone. That is my 2nd one too btw yup.
2. My mom keeps saying it doesn't feel like Christmas time. But has it ever? Not since we lost Mike (my uncle) and now things are more changed. My cousins who always came over here or we met up with her some place else in recent years since she married...now has her baby and is not doing Christmas really. So now the last connection we had is gone. No more silly gifts and meeting up or her coming over. I actually miss her being single. I mean truly it would be sad if she was since her dad is gone where would she be living? So she actually needed to be married. But at my age she was married and I have no intention of ever marrying I just don't want to. So there you go. I feel like it too but we press on. I buy stuff with my credit card right and left. My emergency credit card is now the only way to buy stuff till I get paid on the 28th.
3. Speaking of which. I did orientation of my job on Monday. Then Wednesday I came down for training. I went back again on Friday. And yesterday Saturday was my first actual non training day. I trained 1 more hours in the more and then was on the floor rest of the day helping out. Learning the ropes. Despite all this I like my job even if I am not used to it and I am enjoying getting to know Walmart as a company not just a store I shop at for my groceries.
4. School is done for the week. And semester. I am glad but a bit sad. I miss my radio show and even my crazy English class. Unsure what is going on in the Spring. But I am pressing on as always to my future and my career and school too.
5. Gym did it once this week. Only once and only for a few minutes. But still we went once which is good to go I guess. No complaints there. I love they gym even if I was like death and wanted to so not be there.
My last time as a 38 year old. I have to say that this has been an interesting year since I turned this age. Although it might seem like bad right and left. I know God is going to work all this out for my good and He already is. I have a job I have my friends and family. Sure I have diabetes now and foot issues from it. But I am still here. No matter what happens I still am here so there is a purpose for no matter how big or small it is. See you all next week as we speed through holidays and last days of this year 2018!
