Today was rather busy. I know it's a bit strange for my life to actually be productive. Yesterday, I went to amsouth to go take a teller test, because I thought that might be a good job for next semester to take up the days that I won't be in class. Supposedly tellers around here get payed like 13$ an hour. Well needless to say... because of traffic I got there late and so I had to go back today. Well did you know that to be a bank teller... you first have to take a 2 hours test even to apply. That's so crazy to me. So me and eleven other people sat around for 2 hours taking a automated test that consisted of questions like... "what would be the best option in this situation, what would be the worst..." "What is wrong on this check and deposit slip..." "if you have 2345.89$ and you want to deposit 7% how much would you have left over..." "how many of the 4 coupled numbers do not match.." Yeah it was rather boring and tiring. The sad part about it was... I was really worried I wasn't going to pass. You just never know with me and tests. Well what's even sadder is only half of the people that took the test did pass... including me. So then you have to sit in a room and fill out like a 30minute application, have a credit check and a fingerprint. But wait... this doesn't mean that you are hired. You still have to go through the interview process. Well by this time... the time for the interview and stuff... it was already 3:30 and I had to be at the kid's house that I tutor at 4. So... silly me... I just march into the main lady's office... while we are all waiting... and say... "I am so sorry but I have to be somewhere at 4 is there some way I can finish this process later..." Well, to my surprise she was so incredibly nice and was like sure... just come back tomorrow... when would be a good time for you. So I ran out of there... I forgot to say... I had parked my car in a meter (what was i thinking) and there was only enough money for an hour and a half... and yes... it had been 3 hours. So I was just waiting to see that big fat ticket on my car. It was totally the Lord because there was no ticket... (I guess He knew I had no way to pay for it). I get to the house I tutor at about 10 minutes late. But it was fine because I just stayed 10 minutes extra so they would get what they payed for. I really don't do anything the last hour I am there anyway... the kid is brilliant... so he just does his homework and I check it for him. And of course... all of the questions are right. But hey I get paid 16$ an hour to check prealgebra homework and call out spelling words... I think it's worth it. After tutor I went straight to Dairy Queen to meet Pete and Brent for some dinner... and then we headed over to 20something. Tonight was really good. It was about forgiveness. I really am happy with Church of the Highlands teaching. Everything I feel like I could take home with me and completely apply it to my life. After 20something, me, pete, brent, jenny, and dave all went to starbucks and got some coffee and talked about funny memories... well pretty much me, pete and brent talked. I guess there was nothing that jenny and dave could really add to the conversation when we completely talked about "our old memories" that they weren't involved in.
I can feel the Lord breaking me. Taking charge of areas I have been trying to hold onto. I know it's going to hurt and be hard... I know some things are going to be a rude awakening. It's going to be good. When the Lord breaks you it is always good. I am so thankful for the Lord's sovereignty. I don't understand why such an almighty God loves someone so much... someone that is so unworthy. I owe Him everything... Lord take it... and use it. I am tired of trying it on my own.
