// Don't Stop

Well my three day weekend is over, and I didn't accomplish nearly enough what I had planned on doing! It seems when I have work I have all these things to do, and when I don't have work, I have nothing to do.

This will be the first time I've worked right through Christmas. As much as everybody does enjoy the presents, the family, and stop to think about the real meaning of Christmas, it's nice to be able to look forward to a break. Anyhoo, no break for me this year. In fact, I think I'm working Christmas eve!

One thing I must start doing this week... Christmas shopping! I've literally done little to no Christmas shopping. That must be started tomorrow! I'm working 10 o'clock shifts this week, and the job last week seemed to be getting off at a fairly good time, so I'm hoping that continues onto this week!

I woke up today at about 5:30pm... After going to bed at 3am. So I think I had more then enough sleep! I just didn't want to get out of bed for some reason. Maybe because I didn't sleep at all Friday, and had very little sleep the rest of the weekend, but nevertheless, I slept all day. Not one of my finest moments...

I had lunch with Mark Dehoog Friday out in Langley, and that went pretty well! I thought it would give me more of an opportunity to leave my job now, but really that didn't help. He said work at it more and more until eventually you can't do both jobs at the same time. I've really thought about that, and it would get rather easy to not have anytime to do two different jobs. So I'm thinking maybe find another job, one with a little more flexibility... Although I don't know how well that would work. For advice on school, he said just don't do it. You can learn a lot faster doing it by yourself.

Right now in my mind I'm thinking save up for some serious editing equipment, camera, and all, and once I've done that, start saving up for summit. I really think it would be good if I went there for at least one year, and take it from there.

So anyhoo, that's all in the back of my mind, just seeing how things go from here.

For now, time to get ready for work! Well, its not 10 yet, but I have to go mail Davethew's present!

Good call on saving up for awesome editing equipment. If that's your passion, it's worth the money. But I have to say though... in the six (is it six?) years I've known you, I've heard you talk about Summit a lot. More recently in the six years than formerly, but keep in mind... is this something you really want to do? If so, why does it keep getting put off? Sooner or later, God's gonna start asking that question too.

In other news, let's start a club. The "I-Haven't-Done-A-Single-Shred-Of-Christmas-Shopping" Club. The one week countdown started today!

Yea... I know I keep putting it off... its cos I'm really not sure If I should be there. Sometimes I think I'm going for the wrong reasons... in the back of my mind I think its going to be like Historymaker weekend for months on end! Just the atmoshpere... or anyhoo, its something along the lines.

But yes, I do know its school, and I do know there is work involved!

Anyhoo, before you say go pray and ask for it... I really don't know how anymore. I don't hear a reply... Not saying that God's not saying it, but I don't think I'm asking properly, or I am listening properly, one of the two...

I would like to save up for all the editing stuff and what not first because I can take that to summit with me.

It has to be kept in the back of my mind that by quiting my job I'm giving up a lot. So I have to really make sure that I can do that. It's not like I'm quiting Triple O's or the Stadium.

Anyhoo, thanks for the encouragment Steph. I'm gonna have to turn dowm my offer to the club too, I'm going shopping today!

I better go to bed! Not sleepy though... See! This is what happens when you sleep too much!

It looks like it's been taking up a lot of thinking space. That's good that you're analyzing carefully all your options before you decide.

And to tell the truth, I don't know if there IS a right or wrong way to pray or to listen to God. But listening... it's definitely something that is hard to do and needs work on. Sometimes, we're searching and listening so hard, we miss the smallest little detail that could've been God's answer.

Anyway, hope you make progress on that.
