This And That

I am feeling a little out of sorts. Summer is flying by and so my Summer class is almost over. The final is a week from Monday. I then start an online Intersession class followed by 6 hours in the fall. All of this while working full-time and trying to decide whether or not I am going to take a temporary job in the fall. You see, the past two years I have worked as a ticket taker for the University of Oklahoma. I actually enjoy it even if it only pays minimum wage. You get to see all types of people (people watching at its best!) and you even get some time to enjoy the game. However, I just feel like there is so much already on my plate. On the plus side, the hubby said that instead of putting the money in savings like I have been doing I should cash the checks, put them in a clothing envelope and then go shopping! I think I will probably save them all up and get some new shoes...if I decide to work the games. There are several negatives to not working them. 1. No new shoes (or not the good, expensive kind). 2. Once you have worked 3 seasons you could become a supervisor the next year which is more pay. 3. I would have to watch the games on TV and sometimes you can't beat watching from the stands...even if it is only for a few minutes. I only have a few more weeks to make up my mind because it won't be long until they start taking the apps for this season.

Another thing that has been on my mind is my faith. I know what I believe. I believe in God, His Son and the Holy Spirit. The problem I have been struggling with is feeling God's presence in my life. I know He is there but sometimes I wish I could see him. I know that I can "see" him in the flowers and the bees and the trees and in the miracles that are my family but sometimes I wish I could see Him right in front of me...even as a burning bush. I find myself struggling to want to go to church - not because of my church family - for reasons that I will not share on a blog. Normally, Eric and I teach Sunday School, but I had to take some time off from that. We have been doing it for two years straight. We took the summer off but our Children's Director is asking when we are coming back and I am not sure I want to. However, we promised we would be back so back we will go. I guess the first Sunday of August is as good a time as any. I think I just don't feel worthy of God's love and maybe that is why I can't feel him.

Well that is enough of that for today. Now for an exciting moment! One of my dearest friends in the whole world gave birth to her 2nd child Saturday and he is so handsome! Congrats to the new family of four and love to you all! :-)
