work, work, work...

Basically the last week of my life has been ridiculously crazy. I have a part-time job this summer....yet i've worked/will work 8 days in a row and over 35 hours. i know this is all part time still, but add in alive, rivertree (youth and main services), and trying to manage a social life. i'm just not sure if it can be done. i don't even know what to do to relax at this point. i work tomorrow at 6am again.

i've been listening to azure ray today. a few of her lyrics today completeley hit me. she seems to get it.

this never ends.

Faithful

It's amazing how God has proven himself so faithful in the past few months. absolutely mind-blowing.

moreover, who thought the agent of this to be a car insurance company?

God works in mysterious ways...far beyond my comprehension.

The Tree.

i've been home about a week now from vacation. i've been working a lot at old navy and getting myself established into a summer schedule. the trip was awesome! we had a blast staying down there and relaxing for the week. the only thing that really made me think a lot while i was down there is how missionally forgotten tourist areas seem to be. I mean, even myself went down there to vacation rather than to serve. i mean, these people literally served us day and night...who is serving them? shouldn't we be? i kept an eye out for churches but probably only saw 2-3 the whole time (minus university boulevard, assuming that the mexican universities may be somewhat affiliated with Catholicisim). I feel like i've got to many ideas and not enough resources to be proactive in the matter. yet i know we live in one of the most resourceful places on the earth. it's all a little paradoxal if you think about it.

but to keep catching you up on life....

Old navy has been going great. i really enjoy working there, especially doing shipments when you're in the store before it opens and just working away. i was there from 6am-11am today.

Also, i'd highly suggest if you have a little spare time on your hands (about 30 min or so) to take a listen to the sermon from last week at the Tree. This is not about the church, it's about the Church. it's not about us, it's about us all together. i cannot believe that i am able to be a part of a church that is pursuing and seeking out how to live in a way to really be the Church. that's a lot of church talk.
