So today we are heading down to Bastrop. A small town outside of Austin where we are going to be hanging out with our SF group. I am stoked at the opportunity to finally spend some extendo time with our group. So far all we have been able to do is meet on Sunday, and that is usually pretty forced. Every once in a while the time goes well but usually it feels like we are just going through the motions fulfilling a requirement for the Seminary. This weekend should be a lot of fun.

I registered for my fall classes and will only have class on Tues/Thurs. Thats pretty great. I could use the extra time for studying, work etc.

Whitney and I are still praying about where to go to church. We want to be in a place where we both can get plugged in. Eventually I also have to complete an internship. Preferably my internship would be something that I can get excited about being a part of in addition to being something that I could possibly be paid for doing. I am also considering the possibility of finishing my classes here in Dallas, then returning to CA to do my internship possibly in Oakland. That way I could transition from internship to full time ministry there. Who knows. Only God knows the plans that He has for Whitney and I.

I am ultimately frustrated with Whole Foods. I feel like I am not being paid fairly. It is also incredibly difficult to be under people that I should be managing. I have to pray a lot to remain humble. If I wasn't in Seminary I could be making a lot more money and do whatever I want. But my life is not my own. Jesus promised that if He is first in our lives then we will always have what we need. Although my paychecks are not close to what they could be, or even what they used to be, we have always had enough for our needs.

If you want to pray for Whitney and I pray that our weekend goes well and that we build better relationships with the people in our SF group.
