Bobcat Athletics

So after years of wanting to be a journalist, I made the decision that I wanted to stick around San Marcos and work in the Texas State Athletic Department. I've made it very well known that I want to work there, but so far the opportunities just havent popped up. A couple of 12K jobs have opened up, but seriously I could make more money working at McDonalds. Yes it isn't all about the money, but 12K is seriously a slap in the face.

So now, my options are still graduate school which involves more school, and probably more debt, or finding a job around San Marcos hoping that a decent opportunity comes up sometime.

Right now I joke around a lot that I am really not doing much of anything, but thats not the case. I am still interning in the athletic department (even though it looks like i wont get any kind of good job there yet), and I am still working with BobcatFans and in some capacity ASG.

So there are a lot of things still up in the air which is scary, but I know that somehow the Lord will provide for me a plan.

So prayers are needed for direction and guidance that I keep on track with what he wants for me, instead of what I want for me. Easier said than done.

Hamilton and the Job Hunt

I missed out yesterday, dang it!

Anyways, I hope at least one person read yesterdays post, because not many people outside the baseball fan community know about Josh Hamilton. Right now, he is on top of the baseball and sports world and is shouting Jesus's name from the rooftops in every interview that I have ever seen him do.

It's absolutely amazing to think the journey Christ takes us on to put us where we are.

I am still on the job hunt. I have my application in a few places on campus, hopefully I land one of them!

Space Jam

The past.... those two words conjure up so many different memories. Some good and some not so good.

Tonight I watched Space Jam. It was a big time blast from the past, and made me think about a lot where I have been.

It reminded me of Waco, and everything that went on there. I had lots of good times, but lots of bad times also happened. I thought about

-the principals office visits
-the fights
-the bullying (both ways)
-the good grades
-the bad grades
-the baseball
-the basketball
-the girlfriends
-choir
-journalism
-science fair
-video games
-the TV shows
-Disney movies
-skating
-karate

I could go on and on, but whats the point? Most of that stuff is gone, and is being replaced with new memories. I will never forget these things. It got me thinking as to how God has shaped my life. Everything that has ever happened in my life was not me doing it, it was God orchestrating his amazing plan for me to bring me where I am today, and to lead me tomorrow. It's absolutely crazy to think that God brought me here. God brought me through all that, and then some. God brought me to Texas State, where I met certain people and got involved in christian ministries on campus.

It's crazy to think that God used Space Jam to bring all these memories back, but thats exactly what happened.
