1. "Man, in like a month I will have a new car. This car will be dead in the next few weeks."
2. "Yeah I should like, know about for sure if I have a job in like a few weeks."
I am going to split this into two posts, the second being the car post (I need some time to take pictures so you can revel in it's greatness).
I am currently working as a substitute teacher, aspiring to be on Young Life Staff. I have been actively engaged in this search for almost a year now. It's a struggle. I could unpack about a million things here for you, but I will try to keep it relatively tight.
I suffer from a condition called overenthusiaitis. You may not have heard of it before, because I just made it up. There is only one symptom and it is a tendency to get over excited and enthusiastic about
the future, when said enthusiasm is uncalled for and future prospects are tentative. This manifests itself in many ways. For example, I might learn that a major soft drink company has invented a self-chilling bottle. I will then proceed to tell everyone about it and then eagerly await it's arrival to my nearest Quality Dairy. When this day does not arrive, I am disappointed. In the 11 months I have been looking for a job, this has happened to me exactly 6 times. I think I have a chance and then I tell everybody about it, because I am excited. Then I have to tell people about my failure.
So here is my current situation. I have interviewed for a job, and I am waiting to hear. God has taught me an incredible amount of patience over the last year. I can wait. But, because of my chronic overenthusiaitis, you all are waiting as well.
I love you all dearly.
It is flattering to me the amount of people who ask me if I know anything. I know you are praying for me and rooting for me. The other day I got 5 messages, via multiple different medias, asking me if I know anything yet. But know this, while I recognize and appreciate your love, and while I have mountains more patience than even just months ago, this question is really hard for me. All I want to do is give you good news, but as of yet I have none and its hard to say that to everyone. If you can hold off on asking me, it would be helpful to me in my desire for patience. But please, keep praying!
And know this, the moment I get a job, I will let you know. Some of you I will call personally, some of you I will expect to read the Facebook status updates and various Twitterings. But trust me you will know.
Sorry to get serious for a minute. Also, I recognize this is my fault, but please, I have a disease. It's called overenthusiaitis. And the only cure... is more cowbell
