Just finished reading my brother’s blog. Seems we’re both in similar areas of life. I believe he’s doing a much better job of it than myself. Patience and perserverance, that’s what I need.
The past few days have been quite eventful. Things begin by my full-time job in retail deciding to cut my hours 25% due to low sales volume. I understand, easiest thing to cut is payroll. I actually should write a separate blog about some of my opinions on what used to be one of my favorite stores.
Had a good lunch meeting with a successful businessman from our church. He’s been a great encouragement to me and my family, and he may not be quite aware of just how much. So, thank you Matt! Not the one Matt, this is a new one, but either way, they’re both a welcome addition to my network of friends. Anyway, this newest Matt has given me a couple of job leads, both of which seem very promising. Should be having a conversation about one of them tomorrow at church. Let’s pray something happens soon. I GOTTA KEEP REMEMBERING THAT PATIENCE AND PERSERVERANCE PART!!!
My 5 year old son also had his first basketball game today. He scored at least 4 times, maybe more. At this point though, it’s basically just herd ball. Very little dribbling, passing, or scoring, but he definitely seems to be having a good time. Mom and dad are enjoying his interest as well.
The downer of the day was that upon attempting to leave from basketball, the van wouldn’t start. You can read previous posts about it, but basically the fuel pump has “given it all she’s got Captain!”. No more pushing it. I don’t want to risk my family getting stranded out somewhere in weather that’s all too familiar in Indianapolis this time of year. So, there went $565. Thanks to my in-laws for helping us out on that. Don’t really want to think about how much I owe them, both literally and figuratively. I hate being indebted to anyone. AH, THERE IT IS AGAIN! PATIENCE AND PERSERVERANCE.
