You may not know this, but today’s the ten-year anniversary in which I became Christian in 2009. It is also the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 13 launching for humans to set foot on the moon for the first time. I learned this first by watching Men In Black 3 (then finding out something about the moon landing online — totally real, by the way, I do not discount anything that happened).
I still don’t have any leads on the deli job, though. I wish I could get a transmit message from the store to where I’m at without even having to use the phone to call them, for that just seems super-annoying. But while I write this down, I have to ask: why do people question anything we see that’s real? Where do people get some conspiracy stories from yet get hateful about the people Christ created? Those questions I don’t have clear answers to, but this much I can tell: people know but don’t believe the truth.
I did manage to jump in the pool at my backyard, though. I would’ve gone to a waterpark today, but I wanted to savor the memories Sarah and I had made when we went on June 29th. I pray we are able to spend plenty of time in the Six Flags waterpark in northwestern Phoenix when we can… and also (this came as an afterthought) I would’ve spent a little too much going anywhere today, I think. Not that I didn’t want to spend any time with my niece (I thought there was a swimming class today, but my brother told me otherwise), but I just don’t have any cash. Still, I pray to get some help soon, for I owe too much to pay off for my student loans early next month. I’m working over 20 hours this week, which would be great for savings-wise, but whatever. Indeed, I don’t think I can make the first payment even with the deli job (I owe more than $300). How will my family react to this? I just don’t understand why anyone would get me to college and then screw something up before I even get to start 😓😖😭😭😭 and it’s hard to remember encouragement even from God when I’m stuck with too many payments and not enough hours at work. Pray that I might escape this madness…
If you also have a prayer request, send one (or multiple) in my e-mail: ron.outland4727@gmail.com! If I see any e-mails, I’ll write them down and put them on my bedroom walls! I’ll make two posts about Genesis 15:12-16 in the next two weeks, and the first one will be tomorrow night. See you then!
