February...new job?

Well an opening came up again in the research division at Mapsco & I apparently am the front runner. Hoping this position is in san Antonio because I really don't want to move. God has been so good to me here & blessed me with awesome friends, a loving family, & a strong church. Give me some feedback here. Would really like some input.

Jingle bell jitters

Well as Reagan refered to me, yes, I am Scrooge,lol, especially when it comes to getting my sleep. Things have been hectic over the holidays but over all good. I think Chrystal gets my point with x-mas music, especially when you are working in retail. I don't mind x-mas music; just like it in small doses. Had a scare with my bud Danny yesterday. He hasn't been doing good lately. He had a stomach virus or something to that extent & since he has type 2 diabetes...well needless to say it wasn't good. He is doing better now & actually went to work today (probably against Karen's wishes)I am a firm believer in prayer & God keeps showing me everyday his blessings. I am blessed beyond what I deserve. My brother Daniel will be getting married in July ( I am bad with dates) I think its the day before my parents aniversary. I am glad that Beckah will be joining our family. With some help from Skyler Meek & Curtis White I am begining to FINALLY forgive myself & let go of all the pain I have put myself through. God doesn't want us to be miserable. We as Christians should be the most happy & content with our lives. We all mess up its just how we deal with it that defines how we are percieved. To everyone who has put up with my negative actions for so long & still called me a friend, Thanks. Y'all are the best. God Bless

    Sorry to hear about Danny. Hope he's feeling better soon.

    Happy New Year, Pete!

    Tomorrow is a new year, and sometimes that's a really good time to visualize a "clean slate" and make new habits! Sure works for me! :)

  • meagan_d
    So what all have you been up to lately?? I haven't really been up to much...we just got done taking down our christmas decorations....I start my new job on Monday....Not really looking forward to it since school will be starting up the next monday....but I am only working 4 hours a day...I will be working from 4-8 monday through friday and then 8-5 every other saturday.....but hey at least there will be $$....:D Well talk to you soon!!
    by meagan_d at 01/01/08 4:58PM
  • meagan_d
    Well starting monday I will be working for a telemarketing place here in Lufkin......I didn't really want to do it but it was the only job that I could find that was off on sundays......for the next month or so I won't be able to go to wednesday night services cuz of training but after that my schedule should be flexible enough to work out not having to work that late on wednesdays.....I know what you mean about eventually going back to the bible and what it teaches.....I have questioned a lot of things and in the end I am glad to say that I do or try to do what the bible teaches and what God would want me to do.....Laters!!

The Holidays

I think the holiday season comes quicker every year. I have had to listen to Xmas music for a week now & I am already wanting it to end. lol, Things are good. The only opening at Mapsco for the position I wanted was in Dallas & honestly, I don't want to move there. I like South Texas & kinda want to stay here. Dallas is just a little too congested & materialistic for me. I would rather be down here making less but enjoying life. Well I'm off to the Grandparents tonight for our pre-Thanksgiving dinner. This year all of the family will be out of town 9first time in a looonng time). I will be up in Denton with my parents, brothers, & sister in law helping dedicate their new house with a Thanksgiving Dinner. My other brother, Jake & his new wife Rachael will be in merry ol England for the Holidays, I believe. I really miss them but I do think that I will be seeing them shortly when I head off there hopefully this summer for a visit.
  • jarrod
    Dude, how could you ever want xmas music to end? :)
    by jarrod at 11/17/07 7:02PM
  • pistal77

Update

I am at work right now so I will keep this brief. Things are great right now but hectic. Have very little time for myself these days. Lately I have been driving around in my spare time & documenting whether streets in S.A. exist. It is an arduous task but I need to prove to the research department that I am the man for the job. If all goes well I could be moving into a new department with Mapsco ( kinda holding my breath here). My Catholic friend decided to become a more devout Catholic (typical huh) but it is not going to discourage me from trying to spread the gospel. Oh yeah, I did make a decission to just be myself & stop trying to be something I am not (happy, perky, bubbly,etc)
  • oldmanshirt
    That's good, dudes aren't supposed to be perky or bubbly in the first place.
