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.
