How crazy can life get?

Sorry i haven't left any update. I went from sitting around looking for jobs to a fully crazy week. Last monday I had an interview for Holland America. I waited around until Thursday for their reply. I was offered a position as a Staff accountant in the Alaska Motorcoach division. This is the same company that I drove busses with in Alaska. So everything worked out well and I started work yesterday. I was really nervous at first because it's a big responsibillity, but I think I'll get the hang of it soon. It appears that it will be a lot of work, but not too hard.

When I found out that I start wednesday, I went online and looked for a ticket to kona, and found one for $375!!! So I went to kona and saw my friends and it was so cool. The 3 days I was there I feel like I re-experienced my entire 7 month DTS. Everything from adventures, to hanging out to climbing the water tower to surviving a huge earthquake...I believe that God wanted me there to remind me where I've been and what I've come through. He wanted to remind me before I entered the working world. So this last week was the fullest week I've been through since I've been home, and it was good for me because I believe I'm ready to be back in 'the world' since God has shown me how to not be "of" it. As always, I thank you all for being a part of my life and my adventures.

I'm happy for you, that's awesome that you got to go back to Kona again before you started work. I knew that God would provide you with a good job and I pray that I can fully learn how to be in the world and not of it.

Hi Joel, It sounds like you have the job you were trained for. For a period of time anyway. Do you have any thing to say about your trip to Fairbanks?
Gordy's granddaughter Sarah had a baby girl last night. So now there are 2 great granddaughters in our family! Keep the blogs coming. They're great. Love and Prayers, Grandma
