Is this real life? (The coming chronicles of a soon-to-be bartender near you)
I promise I am not being controversial because I can. I have not gone off the deep end. I am legitimately sane. I still love Jesus and I think he has led me to my current path in life.
I just went to my first day of bartending school. And I loved it.
This is not surprising to those of you who know me best. And some of you may even be surprised that I think some people I know might be surprised or disappointed in my decisions.
But maybe for some of you, this is the next thing on your list that makes you question my sanity.
To you, I say: I love you, yes I have changed a lot, but I'm still me, I love Jesus, he led me here; and if you have questions, that's totally fine. Ask them.
I do not want to create controversy, but I am not afraid of it. I am not afraid of disagreement, though I would like for it to be as civil and loving as possible.
Don't freak out on me. Don't drop me like a hot plate.
and please, please, don't question my love for my Lord. Through him, it is stronger than ever.
My thoughts are this: obedience, ministry; and job flexibility, availability, and security. Saving up for traveling...school...whatever God has for me next.
I'm not going to write a long post explaining all of my thought processes, but I just wanted to put this out there. This is what I'm doing for now.
and I'm pretty excited about it. :)
...
Stay tuned for motorcycles and tattoos. ha.
Though, I'm seriously not kidding about that either.

I totally wanted to go to bartending school! Then again I do have a motorcycle and a tattoo. hmmmm Love you friend!
ReplyDeleteHaha. I could totally see you doing it, too.
DeleteLove you!!!
Anyone who drops you like a hot plate for something that isn't even wrong... Well, continuing that sentence would not involve anything nice. I'm proud of you for doing what you feel is right, even when it may offend a lot of people who you are close to, simply because they choose not to understand. That is integrity. And not very many people truly have that.
ReplyDeleteLove, the dear brother from another mother.
Brother dear,
Deletethank you, thank you. You are so encouraging.
Truly thankful for you.
Love you lots!
Aw, I'm just happy to bluntly state the truth, and I'm thankful for you also!
DeleteSweet, so you'll come over and show me what you're learning right? So far I stick to a shot to a glass of coke or rum and mountain dew :)
