Hello - to anyone out there!
Well, I start my new part time job today. I am working my full time job at CSSM from 8:30am to 4:30pm, rush home stuff my mouth with supper and leave home by 5:30pm to make it to the Osprey house by 6:00pm where I'll be until midnight. And, I will have the privilege of running through this whole thing again tomorrow. Same places, Same times, even same bat channel.

For those who don't know, I'm working for a company that provides support to people with mental disabilities. I am placed in a house with three ladies and my job is to support them in living life. It will probably come with some really wonderful and rewarding days, but I know that there will be the rough unbearable shifts.

And, for the others that don't know - I am doing this crazy schedule to help save money so I can go visit my little sister in Taiwan, where she's been teaching english for the last year and half. As CSSM is a mission and I don't get paid alot (there's not much leftover at the end of the month with paying student loans, car loan, rent and life) so this is the way I have to do it, if I want to go. For those that pray, please pray for me that I have enough 'get up and go' that I can do this. It won't be like this everyday because it's only a part time job, but the days that are - it's going to be hard. I've never thought of myself as someone with ALOT of ambition, maybe someone riding on the side of lazy. I do what needs to get done, but not much more than that.

I don't know why but I'm tired already - but I'm already making a pot of coffee. And for those that know me - know that that means I'm desperate. :)

Onto a different note....last night was Siloam night. It's when my roommate Carly and I go and volunteer for Siloam Mission (a food kitchen downtown). We once again sorted out the cooler. I think Carly is getting tired of going and not having face to face time with the patrons. She's such a people person. Actually, I'm getting tired of getting put in the back. It's hard though, we know that the grunt work needs to get done and the staff appreciate us and can trust in our abilities now (which is great - I'm glad we can help them out) but it would be great to meet and greet some of the patrons...to show God's love. OH! Well, atleast we can feel good because the cooler is straighten out.

So, the light at the end of the next 48hour tunnel of my life is an afternoon planned at the beach with some of my church friends. I can't wait to just sit and lay in the sun and enjoy it's warmth.

Well, better get going.

Mercy and Grace on you all.
