Today was probably the most unproductive day. Im just laughing at myself. I worked on stuff at the house all morning, then finally got myself decent enough to head out into the world to turn in some applications. I drove all the way out to this dinky little daycare in the rain to turn in my app. When I got there, I just sat in the car looking out the window. I love working with children, seeing them learn and grow and discover life. But I am absolutely tired of working in daycares. Most of them are not focused on teaching children about the most important thing in the world, which is about a relationship with Jesus Christ to receive salvation. As an assistant and even as a lead teacher, you have to follow the policies and rules formed by the state regs and the directors of the building. I am just burnt out from that. If I have a choice, I would choose to work somewhere else other than that. Whatever the Lord provides...I might have an interview with an assisted living place called Green Tree. I would be a resident assistant, assisting an elderly client around their apt. with whatever duties need done. I love working with elderly just about as much as with children. (I am not trying to compare them at all.) Children are still maturing and learning and growing. Elderly have already matured and are still learning themselves.
Anyway, here is some scripture that is so exciting for me to read at this weird time in life:
Romans 15:4
"We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, "The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me." For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope. May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God."
Im still curious about what this means exactly. But I do like what it says about how through endurance and through the encouragement of the scriptures we might have HOPE. I'm very thirsty for Hope lately.
My fingers are cold typing in the stream of A.C. at Starbucks, so Im going to read now.

So I take it you're not getting paid for your internship?? I am sure the Lord will provide something but I know what you mean about not wanting to work in a certain type of setting anymore!
no, no payment. experience and to help show me how the Lord has gifted me. yeh, sometimes after a while of being in the same kind of setting is good, but sometimes it can really get old. i think alot of people can relate.
Question: Did you have to pay at that Starbucks to use their wireless?
lena, yes and no. in order to get a password to get on their server, i had to buy a gift card and put money on it. $5 was the minimum, so i paid that. I knew id be going back there alot this fall so i thought it a good investment. also, everytime i use it, i am allowed at the most 2 hours of access. that kinda stinks, but at least its something.
