"I wanna be a billionaire..."

Great, great song. I definetely love the collab between Bruno Mars and Travie McCoy a lot. Plus, the beat is great for a summer anthem

As of now, not much to report here. Just working, working, and working some more. Plus, add in raising funds for Haiti....things be crazy up in here! Here's a play by play of what's gone on in the last few days

• Friday: Cleaned up house and then worked till close
• Saturday: Signed a lease for a place out at UOaks, worked with Mom all day, then relaxed with family
• Sunday: Church with family, cleaned up my room, and then had more family time

Today, pretty much a relaxed and lazy kind of day. Just love enjoying life and not having to worry a lot about everything that's going on. Now to just go raise the funds for Haiti and get that taken care of!

"Kilamanjaro!"

Ok, call me a dork, but hearing the name of a mountain being yelled during a video game is pretty hilarious all things being considered!

But now for the fun stuff. I'm still playing the waiting game with Blue Choice on whether or not my malaria meds are covered under insurance or not. Also, I have happy news to report...NO MORE MIKE AT WORK!! Mike is leaving to go be the GM at another Ruby Tuesday. In his place we get back a guy that we had loved, even though he was with us only a short time, Matt. Side note, I've found that 9/10 times people with the name of Matt are pretty stinking awesome guys.

So, things are starting to turn around for those who are being patient. What throws me off is this...Josh told me to, "wait another week, and good things will come for those who have waited." Now, while Josh's dad is a district manager, something sounds funny about this. I'm really hoping it's not something too bad that would cost me money. I'm thinking that Doug (our GM now) will be gone and we will have someone new come in. Now, will it be Jeremy? The guy who was aggravating as nothing else? Or, will some miracle happen and we get Will back? I have no clue. But, I'm excited

Patience

I blogged on strength before, but now comes the patience....

Patience is not one of my best qualities. Most of the people I know and love will tell you that if they could sum what I do not have in one word, patience would be at the top of that list. Lately, God has been working on my heart to test everything that I can be patient about. And I mean everything...

This last weekend has been a prime example of God working in my life to test my patience. He has done what ever is possible to test my patience with work, family, friends, and those at church.

1) Work: I have never had so many things go wrong in one kitchen with my orders in one night. The worst part? Seeing our food runner not care, our grill guy not care, and our culinary manager place bets on the steak temperature knowing it wasn't right. Trust me, not a fun sight...

2) Family: I love my family, to the end of my days I will always love them. But sometimes I push them, sometimes they push me. I won't go too into detail, but lately, I've been tested by God to have patience and remember they are human just like me...

3) Friends: My "friends" at USC were things that you could toss quotations around. They were mainly just people to have fun with, nothing too close to having any substantial friendship with. Worst part? Was me thinking these "friends" would last. Not a chance

4) Church: The last two days I have been worn out physically, which takes away from me mentally, which finally drains me spiritually as a result since I am weaker to the enemy

So, 1 is not that bad. With 2, I could definetely work on that. For 3 though, that is a almost closed case as a lot of people that I were "cool with at USC were not good for me. With 4, I really need to learn to control my feelings and also to realize what the real mission is for me at church and to avoid things that may detract from that
