JCISONLINE – Resources for Tween and Preteen Ministry

Well I haven’t written a blog in sometime and basically its because I am sort of in a major transition in my life right now. After praying and seeking God for 5 straight days with everything I had I knew that He wanted me to just pack up and move to SC. I got advice, I got counsel, I got scared, I got hopeful and all of these emotions balled into one mass that spilled over when I arrived in Greenville. I have never had a more beautiful moment in my life than having God say “J.C. you’re here, time to start over” No job is the main thing for me… for those of you that no me this is absolutely nothing like me. My ducks are always in a row and while I am spontaneous I would never do something as risky as this. I still don’t have a job and my car broke down after I finally got to where I am staying so needless to say it hasn’t been necessarily earth shattering blessing. But the small things are rocking my world. 

•  I can see Kristen everyday!!!(if I could fill this entire page with ! it wouldn’t come close to how I feel about this.)
• I get to be a part of student ministry again (again no amount of ! can express how I feel)
• I got to do the game at Brookwood Church which I haven’t been in front of students for probably 5 or 6 months! It was awesome.
• I know that God is preparing me for something and I can’t wait to see what it actually is.

Well I would daresay that some of you today will be voting. I only would tell you a few things. 

1.  Don’t vote if you aren’t educated about the candidates… the percentage of people that don’t vote around 20-48% depending on which resources you listen to, pales in comparison to those that don’t make an educated decision 60-85% again depending on whom you listen.
2. I am including a link to a website that will show you a few of the stances that these candidates have  

2decide.comSo as someone who takes this issue very seriously for multiple reasons please get educated about the candidates and don’t use your lack of knowledge of the candidates as a reason not to vote. Take some time to learn about where they stand and make an educated decision… out 

So my interview went well with Aerotek and they actually asked me alot of questions about something I knew alot about: UPS…interestingly enough they hire for UPS Freight, which is a division of UPS and not necessarily my division but still under the umbrella.

 But anyway the job is as a recruiter for a privately held staffing company. Sounded pretty good but honestly just doesn’t make my tongue drip with urging. But again when I say this realize that interviews aren’t all they are cracked up to be and also that the job search is about finding the job that God wants me to have for me and my family.

 While I was here however, I got in touch with some people and had some other interviews set up. Synnex corporation and Jackson Dawson Marketing. Synnex would be more of an inside sales position. While Jackson Dawson Marketing or JDSouth as they call themselves is “a marketing firm” I got those interviews literally today and they said that they wanted to talk to me tomorrow, Thursday January 17th!! Man I am pumped.

One problem…there is now about 2 inches of snow outside of Josh and Renae Bradley’s house where I am currently staying and most of the schools in mid to upper SC are closed.

If you read this tomorrow or today on Thursday January 17th immediately I am asking you to drop everything that you are doing and pray that God works our a miracle. Please I was so pumped and am now extremely confused. Either way God is working, please pray.

John 1:50

Please read around this passage…this is what I read this on Monday of this week!!

anyways I’ll keep everyone updated.

Tomorrow I travel to SC for some time with Kristen and for sure an interview on Tuesday with Aerotek. I just want the job that God has for me and maybe something else will happen and I’ll have another interview next week, you never know how God is working…so I am just asking that you pray that I would hear God speaking and that I would know if this job is the one for me or do I go back to waiting and praying some more. Please, Please, Please, pray.

 God is working maybe its time maybe its not but I want to know for sure what He wants me to do.

I’m so glad you asked…. The interview went pretty well. They asked me for another interview for next week when I go to Greenville, SC. Please pray that I would know what God’s will is.  I would be a recruiter that would move into sales. It would eventually give me a chance to move into the area that I got a degree in so that is good. It is longer hours and since I am used to making production I am not used to wanting to work long hours plus you just don’t want to have to work for a long time… But this is a real opportunity with benefits and decent pay. So pray that God’s will would be done.  continue to pray PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE out 

well here are a few things:work has been ridiculous, supervisors might get fired for some mistakes that were made.Word to the Wise-if your boss asks you to do something you might want to do it, im just sayin. Grizzlies actually looked good last night with Conley in the line-up. But if you have any kind of fantasy team play any Celtic that you can. Even if you still have a fantasy football team. Find a way to put Garnett in at WR or something. Memphis plays Siena tonight and UNC played Kent State both soft teams which one do you think is on TV? There has been talk of Memphis going undefeated alot by ESPN surprisingly considering they hate Memphis but really not that much by local media I wonder if they are trying not to jinx us…huh also the job search is making a little progress i think. I actually found some jobs and applied today and have an email pending to the HR lady in the Greeville Region for UPS. Please pray that God’s will be done and that I find a job soon! Anyway keep me in your prayers and watch the tigers dominate on cstv if you have it. 

well david jacks was house sitting last night and he invited me over and we played ROCK BAND for a few hours. Our Band “Our Band kicks your band in the” was very successful. I have learned that no matter how much fun the drums are to play that I am not gifted enough to play them for more than ten minutes at a time. Mad respect to Jeff and mainly Carmen for this realization. well new year now and am waiting for the new beginning to come for me in SC. Proverbs 3:5-6 has become my rock lately and God is where im leaning even though I am searching and searching God is where my strength and faith come from. continue to pray for me. I need them dearly! out 

I am following doctor’s orders and taking all of my medicine though. And now im about to be in a new routine. No school!!! Its gonna be really weird i mean me and school have known one another for over 15 years so its gonna be a weird transition. The question is now what do I do in that large space of time that is no longer filled. Well my parents want me to make some more money, and i want to hit up the gym on a consistent basis. But if anybody has any ideas on some work or a sweet gym let me know. 

the tigers play another big game tonight and im sick what sucks more is that my sister is gonna get to cheer at the game and possibly on tv. So i’m down i might still go but right now i just don’t feel up to it but maybe a little later i will til then out 

I am trying to reunite two friends right now knowing that soon i will be in Greenville, SC. I know that they both read my blog so they will both see this and it might even push them further apart but they look like they were in a bad break up….ignoring each other, making innuendos everytime, and asking if the other one said anything about them… I just wish they would both grow up forgive one another and become friends again. So pray that I can get them to get back together.  out
