Holy Cow

So I'm not dead...yet. I'm still alive. I think I'm still awake, but sometimes I'm not sure...

That "lateral move" I spoke of earlier ended up being a "rocket to another level" move. I'm happy. I really am. I'm working 60+ hours a week and have been given a level of responsibility that I honestly have done nothing to deserve, as far as this company is concerned. I've gone from struggling to figure out how to stop wasting time on the internet at work to trying to figure out how in the world I'm going to maintain a life outside of work! This is something I've prayed for and God has put together and I really couldn't be happier.

Enough vague generalities. I'm working on a contract hiring project with BMW. What a great company. Organized, efficent, and I get to be involved in planning and organizing a major part of this whole hiring process. It is just like planning how a machine is going to put parts out except we are putting out people...not parts.

What is even more interesting is how I'm able to throw myself into this so fully yet still know in the back of my mind that it is only a stepping stone to what God has called me to do. It's work and we do it well but perspective is given to us through our relationship with Jesus.

The only drawback seems to have reared its ugly head today. It's Saturday...and I'm working a 12+ hour day. I had a moment to look at some people's blogs that I haven't seen since I started on this whole project and an overwhelming feeling of social disconnection came over me! I thought, holy cow, do I have friends anymore??? So I went on a 15 person phone call rampage....and no one picked up!!! I just chalk that up as a fluke...for now.

But I'm thankful. I truly am. Even if this takes me away from some other things I really enjoy doing, I know it won't last forever and God has a purpose in all of it. Oh, and Angela, if you read this, I'm needing a back massage like crazy, yo. You rock!!!
