Wake me up before you go, go...

The last couple weeks have been very interesting. Not only has the economy turned sharply south, but Wall Street is falling apart. No matter the financial calamity, I am pretty peaceful. I know that God is going to take care of us. He hasn’t set up this ministry to collapse just yet. It may be a little tighter around here, but things will be ok.

I am not necessarily opposed to change, I just want to know exactly why change should occur. I am against progress for progress’ sake. Why? Because I am fundamentally against needless change. The next few months are going to be challenging, because we are up for some big change. Some change I understand and support, others I am sure will not be easy to accept. I have learned a system, and lived it for four years. A new system is about to put into place, and I’m sure I am going to be quite frustrated at times. I know that all the changes will be for the betterment of the ministry, yet I am comfortable with the way things are. I know, it’s when you get comfortable that you become stagnant, but I am still having a hard time with the thought of some of the oldest systems in place being replaced. In hindsight, I’m am positive that I will see the benefits, yet in foresight, I am a little cloudy. Not to worry, I will make it. I will charge through the fray, and succeed in accepting the inevitable. I just keep in mind, “It’s all for the glory of God.”

On Monday I finally finished setting up m new apartment. I have lived there for three weeks. Sad that it took so long? Yes. Do I care? No. I moved upstairs and two apartments over. I am now directly over Tim and Rachel, and beside a shade giving tree. I haven’t lived above anyone since JB moved in 2005. My bedroom floor is ridiculously squeaky. Unfortunately, it is directly over T&R’s bedroom. I guess they will get over it, if they haven’t already. My carpets are no longer stained red around the edges. I’m not really sure how that happened. I also don’t have a hill in my kitchen floor. Its nice to be able to leave my windows open without fear of break-ins or death. My cat likes it there. She seems much happier. Thank you to everyone who helped me- Brent, Crissy, Abi, TJ and Cory. You are greatly appreciated and are heroes.

The thing I hate about moving is getting used to the shower taps. In my old apartment I could set the water to the perfect setting while doing anything in the world, including writing a 38 page thesis on bio-mechanics. In this apartment, I haven’t quite gotten it yet. I either burn myself or freeze. Not the best way to start the day.

After waiting over a year and a half, I have finally gotten a DVR. I am very excited. I can now record X-Men every night. I loved that show when I was a kid. I can also record Survivor and the Amazing Race so that I can watch it even if Crissy is unavailable. Or random documentaries on the History Channel.
