Leviticus... is a very boring book

Since JAG is coming to a very sad (though probably much needed) demise, I decided that I need to reprioritize my life. Okay, actually, JAG ending has nothing to do with the decision that I made a few weeks ago. What was this decision, you may be asking? I decided to read through the whole Bible... a very daunting task, to say the least.

I have read through the New Testament in my CF2 class at CU, but now I am learning about the Old Testament. It's wierd, because even though I know that God is the same "yesterday, today, and forever," I feel as if He was somehow more detached in OT times. It's really wierd.

For example, Moses was just walking around, chilling in the desert when God said "Boom! This is the way it's going to be." Now, does this mean that I need to be living my life and then one day God will say, "Boom! This is the way it's going to be?" Or... do I trust in the God, Jesus, of the New Testament when He has a personal relationship with people? I know a new covenant has been made, but it is really difficult for me to trust that Jesus is my friend when I am learning about the God of the OT. Am I really that shaky in my faith?

Hmm...

I think I need to go to sleep! And sadly, I still have to prepare for English Lit. tomorrow--junk!

Would you like fries with that?

Yes, it is true, folks... I officially have two jobs. During the day, I lead a normal life teaching troubled teens syntax, grammar, literature, procreation, and other such much needed information for teenagers. But, during the night I lead an entirely different life as a deli worker. I slice meats and cheese, all in the name of love.

My "plan" (I say this lightly because most often things don't work out as I plan them) is to work until I am thirty--I don't know if I will continue to live in Vermont. However, eventually, I would like to go back to get my master's degree. I would love to continue with my education sooner than thirty, but at the rate I am going in the paying off of my undergraduate school bill I really don't see how it would be possible for me to enroll any sooner than that. Plus, I think it will give me some time to grow up and figure out what I really want/what God really wants me to do with my life. At the moment I am still holding out for screenwriting... but, God could have entirely different plans.

Don't forget to set your clocks ahead tonight folks!

I really don't have anything else to say. I thought that I would have a lot to say since I haven't written in a while.

This is totally random, but I am beginning to realize that JAG does not want me as a screenwriter. Unfortunately... I must surpass their expectations--I am too good for them. Ah well. They don't know what they're missing. Suckers.

Anyway... I hope everyone has a happy month of April! Live long and prosper!

Oh and one more thing, I am now a published poet! The life of a writer never ceases to amaze me :)
