Just a thought
The "right" one is when you see all those weaknesses and shortcomings but your still excited to see them at the end of the day.

Jobs
I'm stuck in a dilemma. I've been thinking about it for since thanksgiving break when my associate for the EWU Jazz Festival suggested that we would be great planning numerous festivals together. I had the same thought and knew that I could learn a lot from him.
So here's the dilemma, for the past year I have been involved with the Spokane All-Cities Jazz Ensembles, and it is growing. It has doubled this year. It's a non-profit organization that has students involved all over the Spokane area forming Jazz Ensembles. Rob Tapper, my trombone instructor at Eastern, is the director of these groups. That is how I became the Administrative Assistant. Like I said, it is growing. This year it doubled from one high school group and one middle school group to two of each! It's a great opportunity for these students- and for me. The other day Rob shared a vision with me of where he see's it going. I am honored that I get to be a part of this process.
I also was just recently offered a position, one of which I can't say right now, at a place that is also on it's way to being the best thing in music business in Spokane. The problem is, I need to jump on right now, which actually... is great! because I need money. This position will hopefully fill in the gaps that SAJE income doesn't cover. Ok, this is sounding great, but for the past few months I have been thinking of going on a mission, but my reply to that thought is, "we'll see what happens this year" since I turn 21 in the end of august. When I have had that thought of waiting and seeing was a direct correlation to an inward thought 'am I going to get married this year?'. The problem with accepting these positions, or not accepting them is I have to decided about a mission now, or make a more further decision. A company is not going to want to me to join and leave right as the growth is taking way after a 9 months of training and learning all about the business. AND what about the last year of work I have done for SAJE? I can't leave them hanging with someone new, I was the first one to hold this position so I know what's going on.
Rich keeps on telling me that I don't have to go on a mission to be a missionary, which is true, but I feel that I won't focus on it unless it is my focus 24/7, which I feel is kind of selfish on my part. I guess we'll just have to see where this year takes me.
On another hand, I'm really excited because I've been struggling lately with some personal issues and last night Amanda and I hung out since she had work off and I decided to not go to the concert. We talked a bit about this issue and I asked her if she would do scripture study and prayer with me before we go to bed each night. This means I will have to stay up and wait for her to get off work every night, but I think it will help me, and help us become closer together.
I'm excited for Christmas time! I'm excited to be with my family again. I just need to figure out this new position and how much work I'll have to do in spokane so i know when I can come home.
Well, that's all for me. Love ya'll!
