It's true. And now someone else is all trying to out-journal me.

Not gonna happen.

In other news, I'm beginning to feel kinda useless. Not when it comes to my job, per se, but I mean in more of a Kingdom-minded way. It's been about a month since I was at FBC Springfield. Now some of that was due to Christmas break, and some of it wasn't, but either way you can't really do much with a church when you're not there.

But also, I'm really starting to feel the effects of working behind a desk...ministering from a distance. I like the people I'm working for, don't get me wrong, but I feel like I'm in a bubble again, where it's really easy for God to kinda just slip your mind. At times I kinda miss Walmart. I felt like people there needed to hear what I had to say, and needed someone who would listen to what they had to say in return. I was ministering directly. Instant gratification, no patience required. And I needed to be on top of my game. I needed to be able to defend my faith, and to do that I needed to be actively embracing that faith.

I do not think I made a mistake in leaving Walmart, but I think this is all sort of a kick-in-the-butt-hey-Erica-get-back-out-there-and-do-stuff thing. When I left I still had the Christmas program and then a break, but now I'm way overdue to get out and let God show me where I can be used next.
