Yes, for free.

How exciting is that? I was and still am stoked! He is one of my favorite pastors to listen to. I have several others that I like but I really enjoy his wit and humor. Now I can listen to him whenever I want. I have already put several of his teachings on my mp3 player and listened to it in my car through my speakers. Check him out. He's been a real joy to me. I have spent many Sundays getting ready for church listening to him.

This is probably the best message I have heard yet of his. I heard it today 9-5-8. I highly recommend you check him out. I sooo enjoy him. Did I mention how much I enjoy him?

Beth

I went to the Beth Moore event here in San Antonio this weekend. She is really good. She is fun, she stands on the word of God. I really enjoyed it. I had never seen her before and was definetly wow-ed.

I don't really have the time to write so much on it now because tomorrow is the kids first day of back to school and I need to get us all to bed and it's already 8:15. I just wanted to give a shout out to all those who went and tell my mom thanks for taking me. It was so good. I had a great time and was honored to go with my mom and priveledged to be of the same faith with my mom.

Global Recall Notice


The Maker of all human beings is recalling all units manufactured, regardless of make or year, due to a serious defect in the primary and central component of the heart.

when i grow up

So, today I took my 290 vendor exam. For those of you unfamiliar to the TechSkills course lineup for the MCSA track I took a certification test for Server 2003 and did not pass. It was a hard test. I had completed the course about 6 weeks ago and just got the chance to take the vendor exam. I will take this again. This time the school pays for my test. If I do not pass the test this time I will be responsible for the fee for the test which is at least a hundred dollars. Let's hope that doesn't happen.

Well, I learned today what I thought I was pretty sure of. I am not excited about the sys admin position. That's system administrator which is what the SA stands for MCSA. That's Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator. I really wanted to take web design but there isn't much of a demand for it here in San Antonio. I would prefer something with a little more room for creativity. I will finish my course work and obtain my certifications. I then intend to begin working in a sys admin position.

I really don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I know what I would love to become or be but I don't see either of those things happening. I either don't have enough faith in myself or I'm just being realistic. I wanted to be a model most of my childhood. I know want to be a singer/songwriter. I don't think I'm blessed with talent in that department.

Maybe a mathematician, computer programmer, or computer animated graphics designer. I don't know. I guess I don't really want to be any profession. I just want to learn different things. I would like to learn carpentry. I would like to restore classic cars. I would like to be a great writer. I would like to work in advertising. I would like to work for Sony. I would like to take apart electronic devices, troubleshoot, and fix them. I like to work with tools. I like to do things with my hands. I like to fix things.

I really love my job now. I love working at my church. Right now my job is oversee the workers that are teaching the children. During my job I interact with children, youth, teachers, and parents. My job is to be pleasant, respectful, kind, professional, and to shine the love of Jesus on those that I come in contact with. I am the first and last person that these people see as they come through the nursery. I love my job. I love people. I love Jesus. I love leading others to Jesus. I love it. I can't believe I am paid to do this job. It's not work, it is natural for me.

That's the kind of situation my job needs to entail. I am a people person. I like to be around people. I like to talk to people. I am friendly and I have excellent people skills. I worked in the service industry most of my adult life.

I would really love to get into the computer side of my church. I would love to be my church's computer "guy." That would be great. Or to design websites for churches. To design ads, posters, websites, music playlists, etc. for Jesus. That would be great. That's why I started this blog to do just that.

I would also love to work for a Christian radio station like 1100 AM KDRY or KLOVE. I would like to work at a Christian bookstore. Give me a job that advances the kindgom. Give me kingdom work. Can I put that on my resume? Is there an ad for that in the paper? That's the job I want. I want to glorify God in music and pictures. Multimedia for Christ.

End of summer 2008

Well, summer is almost over and the kids go back to school soon. I am still not finished with school. I take a test Tuesday but I still have about a months worth of course material left. No telling how long that will take in real time. Hopefully soon. I'll need to get out there and start looking for a job in a whole new field. I don't even have my resume put together yet. I'm not too sure if I'll got the intern route or just get out there. I guess it depends on the money.

The kids have really enjoyed the YMCA this summer. They have all been going there. April goes year round for the preschool and the bigger kids were just going for the summer. I tell you it's a great program. They have taken the kids on field trips to places such as the Silver Stars basketball game, Malibu grand prix, bowling, Enchanted Springs Ranch -out in Boerne, the missions, Ripley's wax museum, etc. I have been so impressed with the program, the staff, and the smiles on the kids faces.

We are taking this last week of the summer off to just relax. I don't know how I'm going to be able to get myself out of bed in time each day. I'm real worried about that. Anyway, we've had a great summer and the older two are doing great at swimming lessons. We pretty much plan to be at the pool a lot this last week.

Chick fil A

Chick fil A has a kids eat free on Tuesday kids meal per adult purchase. It's a pretty cool deal. Last time they had a craft this week they had face painting. The kids also get a free ice cream which the adults usually get to finish.

facebook

I am now on facebook. That sure can take up a lot of your time. It's pretty fun. It's free and you get to connect with people you haven't seen in awhile. I have a lot of my church family as my friends. That's the neat part that I can go and view the profile of my church family members and come away feeling encouraged. I love being around other Christians. They fill me up. They remind me of how good we have it as believers. Maybe one day I'll try My Space, I hear it's better... but for now blogspot, imeem, facebook, and being a mother and going to school will have to do. Like that's not enough.

We went to the coast this last weekend and it was great. My kids and I went with my parents. Did I mention how great my parents are? They are. It was great to get away as all I've managed to do this summer is go to school or paint my house. The house looks great too. Thanks again to those great parents. Oh, a shout out to Mary Ellen too for being the one getting the ball rolling.

Well, my goal is to now get all of us horizontal and sleeping.
