Today I had my first day of work here at the Salem Home Depot. I thought that I'd need quite a bit of freshening up, but after about five minutes of shaddowing another cashier I realized that I really hadn't forgotten a thing. It was almost as if I just had a long weekend...a nice two month long weekend.
My sinus infection appears to be getting better in some ways, mainly the pressure, but not so much the venom snot. I took my medicine right before I went to work, and it seemed to be working really well, but about three hours into my shift I started to feel the pressure building inside of my forehead. By the time I was ready to get off work though it was pretty much gone. Both of my noses are making the venom snot now though, and I don't like that. I just wish I could go up my nose with a little vaccuum, or something, and just suck it all out. That would be great.
Melissa is doing a really good job taking care of me though, and I love her so much for it. She makes sure to tell me to take my medicine, and reminds me to keep nice and bundled up before I head off on the bikes God has blessed us with recently.
Another good bonus today was the majority of my youth group showing up at my house out of nowhere. David, Ben, Mandy, Jesse, Ryan, Ben Murphy, and Mr. Hill, all came knocking at the door around 9:30, which was really cool. We spent some time talking, then went off to Red Robbin to have some dinner. When we got back we took the time to pray for me, and Melissa & I's relationship, followed up by them all holding me in the air above their heads as we suck the, "God is not dead," song. It was a really good memory.
No what is a good memory? All the blessings God has given me here recently. God let me meet Melissa, date, propose, and engage her all in ten days. That's awesome to just think about. He moved so swifty and quickly in our lives that it caught me off guard. I'm just so thankful that the LORD has truly blessed me with her, and her love, because I know that if it wasn't for His defining, loving, caring, and grace-filled hands, then I never would even be able to glimps the wonderfulness that is our lives together. I'm just so thankful for that, and I really wish that the whole world could know about how wonderful His blessing has been for us - but for now, just telling Live Journal people will have to do.
BAM!
Well, it's time for me to go for now, I think I'm going to try and lay down for a bit.
Dear LORD, filled Melissa and I's lives with your peace, and favor. Keep our minds clear and focused on what counts the most in this life - YOU. You are our breath. You are our blood. You are our essence and being. Fill us with the presence of Your Holy Spirit, and let Him guide us in our paths of life. You bless us, and we are very much thankful for this. May we never forget to thank you in the small things. In Jesus name. Amen.
