Well, here it is. Wednesday. At about 1500hrs I have PT. I'm looking forward to it actually, really trying to stay motivated. I woke up late today, and I think I got a call from my cell phone company. Sounds like I won't have a phone much longer.
Ya know, not having a job really sucks, because one, I just sit around the house all day, or apply for jobs, and it's just not very exciting. There's a kind of fulfillment I get from working, makes me feel like I'm doing something. Not having a job also sucks because then I don't have money, which I need to pay off my car, phone bill, internet, gas, and food. It's starting to freak me out. That along with the fact that I haven't been able to find work anywhere. It's worrying me a lot right now. However, despite my worries, I know that my God is bigger than all that, and that He will provide.
Today is a PT day, so I tried to eat a little healthier this morning, but man, I don't know how I'm supposed to eat 5 eggs in one sitting!Oh well, so I ate maybe like 4 out of 5 eggs, and two pieces of peanut butter toast, and a peach, but I'm stuffed! Can't wait for PT, I'm so motivated! Anyway, I'm just writing this short note for now, I'm giving a talk at youth group tonight too so, hopefully that goes well. The topic is spiritual warfare!
Alright folks, take it easy. Stay Safe

Monday, September 27th, 2010. D-77
Well folks, here's the first installment of my "blog". So yeah...
I guess there's not a whole lot to say right now except life is good, and bad. Mostly good right now thankfully, but there are a few issues that have come up that make it hard. Now when I say hard, I don't mean really hard, just stressful. My car has needed oil for a while, I'm pretty hesitant to drive it much of anywhere right now, and I literally have like no gas to go anywhere either. I think I've got maybe two dollars I could put in the tank right now. On top of that, I'm not being able to find jobs anywhere, no one wants to hire me for one reason or another. My phone bill is due soon, and my internet is due to need another payment as well... Aside from the stresses of having a car that needs maintenance pretty bad, and the lack of job or income, life is pretty good though.
Church life has been great, I've been able to get set in a church that's been really good. The worship on Sunday's isn't as great but I've started to be more of a youth leader in the Youth Wednesday night program. God's done a LOT in my life over the last 7 months, and I'm truly thankful for that.
Also, the other thing that's been building on my mind lately has been my ship date. I'm enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, but I'm in the Delayed Entry Program. This means that I've signed my contract and everything, I am just waiting to go to boot camp. My ship date is December 13th, 2010. My current MOS is Infantry.
As well in the last few months, I've been getting to know a very amazing young woman from my church, my girlfriend Jacqueline :) She's been such a blessing to have in my life and I'm looking forward to getting to know her more. She's the best!
Anyway, this is just a little bit of an update, I figured it might be good to start now, before I go to boot camp, just to see if anything changes or even just to give a little bit of a perspective of someone in the Delayed Entry program, so.. Here goes!
