Oh, hi Susan! It's good to hear from you. Thanks for deleting those old notes. I didn't know anything about how search engines work at the time, but now I know how to keep it so that it's okay if someone is led from my diary to my project web site, but I didn't want people from my project web site necessarily going to my diary, since it tends to be personal. Anyway, I hope you are doing well these days.

Well, what I wanted to ask you was to delete a note I wrote, because it shows up on a google search. I was kind of stupid about things like that back then. By leaving that note, I caused the very thing to happen that I was trying to protect myself from. Not that big a deal, really, I'm just trying to plug up the leaks. And I'm almost done now.

What do I think about the highs and lows of your life? Actually, it encourages me that I'm not the only one to struggle with being someplace that doesn't appreciate me or let me be me, and that life is so much better when one enjoys their job.
I find no malice in your entries, just honesty in how you feel and how you are trying your best to stay positive in a nasty situation.

I find your diary entry on dreams to be interesting. I'd had a similar experience about a month ago, that ended up with me (in the dream) yelling HOW STUPID DO YOU THINK I AM?
I knew the instant I woke up it was about work and the management there. It made it really weird for me to go in to work that day and be civil to everyone.

I agree that neither of the two men can save us, but I think you are right in voting for the candidate of your choice, and no matter what your co-workers might say or think, you do have that right, and you are going to exercise it. Among Christians it is often regarded as a responsibility, and not just a right. I am going to vote, possibly for the same candidate as you, possibly not, but I will be relieved that I voted according to my conscience. I did see the debate, and I saw the expressions on one of the men's faces while the other man was criticizing him. I also saw his expressions when he himself spoke, and I interpreted both as sincerity and integrity. In the other candidate, I did not even see life. It has not been an easy choice, but I know who I am going to vote for also.

I sent you an email reply last night but want to let you know I will look up the Scripture references in Galatians this morning. I got an email from someone in England who said that she has a strong feeling that the Lord wants me to use all the money to meet my needs and not tithe out of it, so that is influencing me right now. I was pretty sure I had reached a decision but now I'm not. I think I should also look up O.T. references to tithing.
|

minstrelite : |

Actually you're the first Christian person who's said that (out of four, including the guy I wrote about.) I'm going to ask Wendy and then pray about it some more. Wendy has already given me $3,000 including paying my first month's rent and deposit on my new place, and she says she can't help me any more. It was amazing to receive $1,000 unexpectedly, and I would almost feel ungrateful if I didn't tithe. However, if I do tithe, I think I'll have $8 left after I take care of business, and no new clothes or food. So I don't know.

I'll tell you in an email which parts were true and which were false. Also, sorry I didn't write about the grief counseling. I know it's a priority, and I hope I can discuss my Mom when I go in for mandatory counseling on Monday. There's a place here called Valley Community Counseling Center and I think they handle all kinds of things on some kind of sliding scale. Anyway, I have to stay here for 3 months according to the law and am struggling to learn a bunch of contemporary music for my church gig which is out of my league. The Worship minister is a great guy, as is the Pastor, and they both know of my legal situation and will be discreet. Otherwise, I can't possibly respond in any way that will not seem deceitful or at least defensive to some 150 former colleagues. The situation sucks.

I saw you had updated recently so just checked in. Fasting once a week is probably a good idea. I haven't heard about the accompanist job yet - it will be a while - but I'm also applying to teach at the Music Education Department at Wendy's church, a large Baptist church. I also went to group grief counseling there tonight and committed myself to that. Wendy's going with me. It was really good, and I was able to open up about some of the things that have been happening inside me since my Mom died. Also people in the group were very understanding and compassionate, and the facilitator is a great guy. I'm about to update and talk about it online. It should be posted by tomorrow morning. Take care and God bless.

I just read your entry from a couple days ago and I guess I haven't been keeping up with you to know what your current employment situation is except that it's some kind of mundane office job. I still don't know if you're going back into teaching or not. Anyway, just today I saw an ad for a music position at a nearby high school, and when I spoke with them on the phone, they were very receptive. I should probably interview in two weeks, so pray for me and I'll let you know. It's not a full-time position of course, but the pay is good and it could be an in.

It is a poorly constructed sentence. Sometimes people mistake big words and split participles to mean "smart". But he could have just as easily said, "The times when you feel too resigned to pray are the times when you should pray all the more." Smart is overrated. Love. Fidelity... and Self-Love. Those are really cool.

I think I'm kind of the same way as you describe in your entry from late last night, in that it's easier for me to commit to people than it is to jobs and schools and such. (I think this is one of the reasons why eventually I became self-employed. "Cancelling an account" somehow looks better than "quitting a job.") But my commitment to my friends and to human relationships in general, even mild acquaintances, is also naturally stronger for me than practical commitments in other areas. I'm unsure why that is, but I'm glad you triggered my thinking about it this morning, and the whole idea of my lifelong "flakiness" being a part of my current dilemma, and so forth. Thanks, Susan.

I'm going to a very different kind of church for me called Christ Temple, the denomination being Apostolic. I went to a number of churches before God led me to this one, and every time I've been there, He's spoken directly to my heart. The first Sunday He convicted me totally during the Bible study, and I was in tears during the worship music. I went up to the altar that morning and hung out with them all day long afterwards. I think there's some information about them online if you google Christ-Temple Stockton. You go to a Vineyard church, don't you? Oh, and thanks for your email address once again. ~ Andy

That's okay about the book. I remember I sent you those two Norman Vincent Peale books, so I thought you might likely be interested. Anyway, today was a cool day - I was in good spirits all day after a comforting sleep, and walking by faith is indeed more enjoyable than walking by sense data and perception. Also, I'm really kind of high on my new church now and will be attending the new members class tomorrow - so please keep that in your prayers. God bless!

Sounds like you're living the life of a teacher all right. I had to send a misbehaving child back to the classroom (from the music room) yesterday, which I thought was the policy (it was last year.) It turned out the teacher wasn't in the classroom, and he freaked out. The principal later told me to send them to the office instead. His teacher and I had a conversation, and after school the teacher, the student and I had a three way conversation to clear it all up, but I'm still halfway expecting a phone call from the parents. Anyway, welcome to teaching, and have a peaceful weekend.

Thanks for the note, and I have to admit I've wondered about your more than a few times, although I too have been overly focused on work (which is intense) the ongoing ramifications of Identity Theft, my mother's illness, and my commitment to my own DiaryLand project. On Wednesdays and Fridays I have to be at work so early it's impossible to create a decent DiaryLand entry, so I do those ones on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Also, my pastor wants me to write for the church periodical, in addition to being a part of the music ministyry. So I'm basically swamped. Otherwise, I'm trying to stay on track.

I just read your "Turning it Around" entry. It sounds as though you're doing great, and I believe that God is with you. I found out today that I've been asked (as a music teacher) to work at three schools this year at Burlingame School District, and while honored, I am freaking out to some extent, as my major commitment is to the higher-paying private school where I teach on Tuesdays and Fridays.

I just read your "First Days of School" entry. It sounds as though God has blessed you with a wonderful opportunity, much the way He blessed me when I first got my job at Kids Connection Elementary School. It's good that you are seen as calm and steady - I was seen that way last year, and I hope I can maintain a similar image this year, although I'm much more of a stress case these days then I was back then. But through the stress, the Lord has made Himself more apparent in my life. Anyway, I was stricken by the following quote: "It's so interesting that in my professional life, I have to not show emotion, while in my personal life, I'm trying to learn how to show emotion. Rather opposite goals which will be interesting to balance." Same goes for me. Let's keep each other in prayer. Have a great day today, and God bless.

Kicking back at home on an easy day, I just read your entry from last night. Most of it I think we covered in our chat, but I just want you to know that I entered prayers for you in my prayer notebook both last night and this morning, and prayed for you while in bed going to sleep last night.

That is so awesome that you have a passion for jr. high-aged kids. It takes a rare personality who can reach them and invigorate them with a passion that goes beyond their boyfriend of the week. I have worked with them at my church, and I definitely understand their need for someone to just stop talking and listen to them for a change. They NEED that! They absolutely crave someone to let them know that their ideas and emotions are valid and have a place in this world. So...just wanted to let you know that there's someone thanking God for you in Va. Beach. Take care!

Thanks for your comments on my entry of yesterday. I actually was amazed at how much I was able to glean from that one verse. I'm glad it helped prompt you to get into more Bible-reading. I just read your recent entry, and was stricken by the following: "Anyway, enough of that. I'm trying to be wise about how I discuss my internal struggles, and as a result haven't talked about them much at all. Recent conversations feel like a whole lot of nothing in which I'm tiptoeing around things I could be saying and choose instead to avoid. I don't know if this makes me discerning or dishonest, although if people were to ask, I wouldn't lie. I just won't volunteer." I think you are wise to exercise discernment in discussing your personal struggles with others. I suppose the danger would be in internalizing too much, and letting things bottle up inside of you, but there seems to be less of that in today's society than there is of personal relationships deteriorating into gigantic indescriminate complaints. The book of Proverbs talks a lot about discretion. Proverbs 29:11 in the KJV says: "A fool uttereth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth it in till afterwards." Anyway, I hope you have a good day of prayer and Bible-reading. Say, can I contact you in the future by e-mail? I feel a little awkward leaving lengthy notes.

Yes, as you put it, more wisdom for next time, right. Have a pleasant afternoon, and keep writing!

P.S. I'm not very good at waiting quietly, either. And I'm still recovering from the negative emotional effects of last night's chess game. More in the area of letting go, I believe.

I just read your note, and your recent entry. Odd dream you had there. Frasier's my favorite show too, by the way. It's the most sophisticated show on commercial television. I don't own a TV, though, and therefore only watch it sparingly. Well, I'm glad they like you at your house-sitting job (if that's what you call it.) Eventually you'll get a teaching job and be able to use your strengths.

I have a hard time letting go sometimes too. I'm sorry you didn't get that teaching job, but I strongly feel that one will come up for you. I haven't read that much of your diary, but from what I've read, you seem to be an intelligent person with a healthy attitude. I suspect you will do well in life.

Susabeth, thanks bunches. That picture was a total accident (most good ones are), but I told her if there ever was a book titled "Michaela in NY", this would have to be the photo on the inside jacket. Nice to meet you! :-)

"should" is a very, very burdensome word.

Yay for Susan's ability to change templates so well (and pick such a lovely one at that!). I like it so much.

Your lack of laughter is lackluster.
