The repetitive squeaks of my puppy’s chew toy act as a verbal reminder. You hate your job. You hate your job. You hate your job. With each bite I wanna punch something. It’s funny, because in the restaurant business you have to appear happy and willing to serve at all times. You can’t be real or honest about your emotional state. And yet, most people despise what they do.
I was meant for more than this, we all were. I was meant for more than serving boneless buffalo wings and bringing six containers of ranch dressing because guests have no self control. I was meant for more than refilling lemonades, than bussing tables. It’s a job, yes, and I’m grateful that in this economy I have one, but it’s not a career for me. Every day I’m tempted to up and leave in the middle of my shift, to just punch out and high tail it out the back door. But I don’t because that would negatively effect my coworkers. Besides, I leave in less than a month anyway. But for me, if it was only about me, I’d leave now.
Today I was reminded at work about just how much I’m meant for another job. Because at my work a guy asked me about what Jesus said about a topic. And while girls whispered about me and judged me as I gave the best response I could about what Jesus said about the issue, my heart came alive. I didn’t really care what they said, though I knew full well what it was (girls are generally crappy at whispering). It doesn’t matter. Because I knew what I was saying was true, because I just said what Jesus said. Because regardless of their opinions, the only thing that really matters is what Jesus did. It changed everything.
And it is those moments, when I’m feeling alive in what I’m saying, that I remember the hold that Jesus has on my heart, the hand He’s had in my future, and the sweet words of encouragement He speaks to me, “Chin up Kels, it’s gonna be all right.”

New Game: Whenever you go to the bathroom (in a toilet bowl, not a urinal), as soon as the pee hits the water shout out “Somebody’s poisoned the waterhole!” in your best Woody impression. Good times.
I love this kid.

George Lucas Strikes Back of the Day: Star Wars creator George Lucas has been trying for years to convert a large parcel of land in Marin County, California into a 300,000 square foot movie studio, with amenities including a day care center, restaurants, a gym and a parking garage, only to be shot down by his wealthy neighbors.
Because the local homeowners’ association has refused to let Lucas move forward with the studio, he’s decided to put the land to good use by transforming it into low-income housing, simultaneously doing a good deed and trolling his fellow landowners.
“If everyone feels that housing is less impactful on the land, then we are hoping that people who need it the most will benefit,” Lucas snarked.
He’s even donating the various studies and surveys he paid for while working on the movie studio project, to help the new housing development get underway more quickly.
That might be almost enough to outweigh creating Jar Jar Binks.

I worry about things I ought not to.
I know that God is more than capable of taking care of everything and everyone in my life, and beyond my life. And yet I worry that awful things will happen if I don’t have control over them. So, clenched fist Kelsey takes over and tries to hold onto everything for dear life because she isn’t trusting that she can let go and let God take care of it.
And that’s pride, really.
So, Jesus, let’s work on this. ok?
Do not be afraid of sudden terror
or of the ruin of the wicked, when it comes,
for the Lord will be your confidence
and will keep your foot from being caught.
