Ok, so it’s been a while. I’m not going to bore anybody with excuses, but instead get on with this post. Wait a minute…I really don’t have anything to post about. So how about I just talk about what’s going through my mind right now. The coffee this morning is good. We’re about out, so I assume I will be making a trip to Starbucks today to get some more. I’m trying out a new blend every time around these days. My regular favorites are Yukon, Espresso blend, and Breakfast blend. I want to try the Fair Trade blend and maybe Gold Coast. I hope everyone has noticed that I post what blend I am currently drinking in my sidebar.
So what else is on my mind besides coffee? The future, basically. May is going to be a big turning point for Katy and I. She will have graduated and quit her part-time jobs, so there will finally be nothing holding us down to life in Abilene. I was just telling the guys at work that Abilene has a tendency to “suck” people in, making it harder to leave somehow. Your best bet is to get out as soon as you graduate college, but if that didn’t work out for you, like in my situation, then your best chances will come at those time when there isn’t anything tying you down like steady jobs, school, kids, etc. So I’m guessing that time is drawing near for us. Yes I do have a job that I enjoy, but it is far from steady. Katy will need a job and Abilene is not the place to find one. The problem lies in the fact that we’re broke, so we can’t just pick up and leave and find a job later. The provision must be made first, then the move. Some may argue that this is a sign of a lack of faith, but I would argue that it is a recognition of responsibility towards my wife and my family. So, take your pick.
So I guess the big question is just “what do we want to do?” That’s the big question indeed. I know what I want to do in the long run, but there are no short term avenues towards that yet. My wife has a bunch of stuff she would like to do, but her main goal is to make sure I’m doing what I want to do. So where does that leave us? Well, nowhere yet. I will continue to pray that God will provide a way for us to get by, whether that be in Abilene or not. Plus, I am praying that we will enjoy what we end up doing and not be in a constant state of unsatisfaction with what He does provide. So the bottom line is preseverence. Work hard, enjoy life.
