blessings in disguise

so it was super busy at work tonight... it wasn't unbearably stressful... but there were times i had to stop and take a deep breath.


i came home with over $150 in my pocket. Praise Jesus! Most of the parties I waited on were pretty nice in their tipping... except this one table of young people. i don't think young people really understand how to tip... oh well... i still made plenty of money! one table gave me about $40... Praise Him!! there were times when i wondered if business would ever slow down

so i've been wondering lately and questioning myself why i'm pursuing social work. there are times i don't have that "unconditional postive regard for individuals" and just think... "eh, do it yourself, you lazy fool!"... and then i realized my whole reason for going into social work. i want to empower people to not only help themselves, but others as well. i came to this realization when i was talking to a restaurant cook on his break. poor guy.. i talked his poor ear off as he sat there intently listening.
People at work don't really talk to him and he doesn't talk to others, but when they see him talking with me, they think, "dude, he talks?" i think people need to be more outgoing to relate to others and connect them to the greater picture.

i'm almost finished with soul cravings. took me a while b/c i wanted to soak it all in. in one of the last few excerpts, it talks about our need to believe in something... to trust in something... to trust in our Heavenly Father. i'm not good at giving the gists of things, so you'll have to read it for yourself.

i have two cavities :(

i got the gardasil vaccine today too.

that's all i care to disclose right now
