About Me

I am a wife, a mother, a grandmother, a sister, an aunt, a cousin, a friend, a daughter, and a teacher. I am many things, especially a writer. I am a person who loves the Lord. I am a Child of God. I am a Christian under construction. I want to be a Christ-like Christian. I want Jesus to call me "a woman who loves sharing about our Lord and Savior with others."

So much to say, so little time.

I have a little time to write because hubby is fishing and but should be home in a little while.  I got off work and thought to myself that I had time to write.  But then I got to thinking what can I write about in the time frame that I have.  I could write so much but don't want to have to stop writing in the middle of it and not be able to submit it.  So, I will write about my issue with my new job at Sonic Drive In.  I work with NO Christians.  If they are I would not know it.  The cussing, oh the language that is used there.  And the subjects they talk about.  I just am torn.  I need to work but I dread listening to such ungodly words and subjects.  It is not just the teenagers I work with, it is also the adults and management.  I told them I don't want their behavior to wear off on me.  They know I am a Christian.  And I don't even slang cuss.  But the area where we work is so tight that I can't escape from the language and subjects.  So, I just go about my business and do my work.  Occasionally they talk about decent things and I can join in on the conversations.  But most of the time I am the quiet one.  And if anyone knows me I am not a quiet person.  I am extroverted.  I am the type of person who is always talking and you can't shut up.  I know I am not going to be able to change these people, but hopefully they will respect me and not talk like that around me so much. 

I may not stay at the drive in anyway.  I am not as young as I was 18 years ago when I worked at the drive in before.  I also multi-tasked so much more then too.  I just am not able to get fast enough.  Maybe I could if I wanted to make a career of it, but that is not my desire.   I thought I could go ahead and stay there and train to be management, but after only a week I realized that my heart is in teaching.  I am a teacher who needs students.  So I will work at the drive in for the summer and praying I will get hired in a school for the fall session.  I will be miserable if I don't teach.  I will not be happy in a job that is not meant to be for me.  So, I will begin my quest to get a teaching job again.  Pray for me okay.  That is so selfish of me.  Pray for me.  I should not be always asking someone to pray for me.  I need to work on praying for others more than my own self.  That is something I am going to work on too.  Praying for others first.  That will glorify the Lord more to do that.  I am sure of that. 

Well, time to get ready to see my son.  I aint been to the jail house in two weeks because I worked at the store.  The store gave me off tonite and tomorrow.  I get to go to church tomorrow and that is exciting.  Good thing too because I signed up for breakfast.  Gotta decide what to fix for the breakfast.  Probably pancakes this go round.  Well, until next post, may you know how much God loves you.  Marshel
