Until The Whole World Hears

So.

I had work from 7-2. It was almost entirely just taking fruit from the cooler and putting it in the displays. for 7 hours... xP

So, I've been thinking that if I'm going to live at JK's house, I should apply at Farm Boy because the house is immediately behind it and because I would like a change of pace, you know..? But working at independant wouldn't be all that bad. It's only a few blocks further to walk.

Ya. Me and RL can't really cook. xP On Sunday (was that yesterday...?) RL's parents drove us to JK's house after church. I think his family is cool. They sincerely care about what happens to him. They are kinda worried that neither of us know how to cook though. xP

I want to learn how to make cabbage rolls. xP Wikipedia..? [No not really...]

I emailed the owner of the other house we were looking at. It was really awkward typing that email. It was like dumping someone... Like, I'm sorry, it's not your house, it's me. We should see other people... except not actually, but in reality that's the idea... I'm seeing another house and he's looking for other tenants... He was a good guy too, so... and as far as I can tell, RL hasn't emailed him, even after having told him a couple weeks ago that he'd make a decision within a week. xP

So, ya...

At work tonight (6-9 at the tennis courts) I read quite a bit. I only have like 20 pages left. It's a really good book. C.S. Lewis uses many interesting and new metaphors and applies them to many things. Like as a Christian we are to become like Jesus, but we can't do that if we still want to live the way we always have. Sure we may originally just want to get rid of one sin which was obvious, but once it's gone we think we're fine to continue our lives. We are like eggs. We should grow into birds and fly. We can't do so if we want to remain an egg. Eggs can't fly very well... Once you ask God to make you better he won't stop until you are perfect.

I was reading a chapter on faith in the third book. There's two kinds of faith, which I now poorly summarize. Sticking to your beliefs and trusting in God. Before going into detail about the second one he started doing a hypothetical situation and refered to another chapter, but the point is that I know very well the situation. The situation where you try (with your own strength) to adhere to Christian teachings, mainly stop sinning, and fall flat on your face and possibly even sink lower than you were to begin with. "No man knows how bad he is till he has tried very hard to be good."

So, ya. I just did a bible study about making Him lord of your daily work. I suppose today is a good day for that, but also I kinda ended up procrastinating this because of work... and because I had to eat something nutritional for lunch because I had only had like doughnuts and nachos yesterday... So I had like a litre and a half of vegetable soup. xP But I digress, the study and just how I've been thinking about work lately and how work has been different lately got me thinking how these jobs are actually really cool in how flexible the scheduling is, how enjoyable they actually are, how they actually are giving me enough money, etc... so I should work more whole heartedly because sometimes my attitude at work isn't great...

Colossians 3:23-24

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will recieve an inheiritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

1 Corinthians 10:31

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

Ya. I'm gonna sleep now.
