For the last three days I have been in Salesman School. Some of it (ok a lot of it) was mind numbingly boring. However I did learn a lot! Beyond the nuts and bolts it was interesting to be with other people that do similar things to me. I realised I have it a lot better than many of them. In short I am grateful for my job.
It is funny. All my life I have had an interest in what people do for a living. I suppose there was some sort of "work ethic" thing implanted in me when I was a kid. My mom and dad had jobs that were demanding, interesting and as far as I could tell satisfying. Maybe that is why I have "collected" jobs for a while. Trying this and trying that. However I am very aware of the fact that God has given me this job for a purpose. This was not just blundered into. Hmmm....just any time now God might actually show me that purpose. I have hints and glimpses...but not the full on vision.
Tage turns 18 tomorrow! The last of the fall birthdays...and for another few months I can put the march of time on hold. My birthday is in May...so that can wait! Tage got a card from our Pastor...with some encouraging words! I am grateful for our Pastors...they play a key role in our lives. Tage is a steady. Faithful and obedient. Helpful and funny. He keeps us laughing with his sharp wit and appreciation for irony. He's a good cook too! His life plan is unfolding slowly...a little slower than I think it should...but still it is unfolding. "Teach me your ways Oh Lord, show me your paths!" I wonder what Tage's prayers sound like?
