where has all the time gone?

I am here at work among all the hustle and bustle of a car dealership on a Sat afternoon. I started to think about how fast we live life. We are in such a big hurry, and often times to go absolutley NOWHERE! Its amazing. We hurry and get done with one thing in order to move on to the next, and then hurry with that, and then on to the next, and so on and so forth. When we stop to think about what we have done for the day, or for the week, we think "Wow! Where on earth did the time go?" I guess its not a matter of what amount of time we are given, or even the circumstances of the time, but what matters is what we do with that time. I have been in college since the Spring of 2002, and I am getting ready to graduate in May of 2008. If you calculate the years, I earned a 4 year degree in 6. At first glance you think, "that's a long time!" But as I look back, its really no time at all. What have I done with that time? What can I do with the time that comes from this present time forward?

I am trying to plan for the next couple years, where I am going to live, job possibilities, paying back school loans; I even started thinking about how I was going to deal with the future death of family members, and so on and so forth. I find that I can never fully prepare for any of these things. My biggest fear is having to do it alone. I keep planning as if I was going to have to live out the rest of my life by myself. It's scary, and although I know that God is going to help me, and strengthen me, and provide for me through those things, I still have a hard time thinking about it.

I guess my mind is wandering around and around and I am allowing myself to be overwhelmed by things I can't control or manage or keep from happening. I can just trust in the Word of the Lord when He says that he cares for the birds and the trees, and all living things, but my value to him is much, much more, so I need not worry about anything. He is my strength and my portion forever.

so i am not real sure what was going on today at work, but it was PURE MADNESS!!! We had like 3 people quit all at one time, and possibly more will quit later. We only had 10 sales reps! Its a mess. All their paychecks were messed up and there was trouble in that department! Anyway, then, I almost quit with them because of the environment that is created by a certain person that works here. Extremely rude, and inconsiderate. I don't know. It's crazy how certain people come and go in your life. You never know what purpose is there for them being their at that time in your life and you in theirs. Sometimes it's hard for me to think that I have a purpose in someone's life and they in mine when we can't stand to be within 10 feet of each other. As unimaginable as it is, its true and I somehow have to find a way to figure it out.

Anyway, that's all for now! Please pray for me to have patience and endurance! I need all that I can possibly get!

And the kick-off!!!

So, things are shaping up nicely for this coming semester. Money is in place, scholarships are in place, bills are being paid, things are going well. I was a little worried about the money part of this coming semester, but the Lord, once again, has proven himself and taken care of the whole situation as he always does. I love it!

There really isn't too much going on my world. Just working like CRAZY! I can't wait for school to start back up so I will have something to do at work! How sad is that? Things ave been pretty slow here at Oxmoor Hyundai, so if you need a car stop by...the managers are pretty desperate for a sale, they will probably give you a super good one (not that they wouldn't anyway...but this would be better than good)!

Well...good-bye for now!
