I recently moved to Oregon from California and was hoping that maybe, just maybe, it would be easier to get a job up here. Apparently not.
I'm back from college and living with the family trying to earn my way back to school. I've managed to get my hands on random jobs of babysitting, house keeping, and gardening while looking for an actual steady job. It gets irritating, believe you me when your parents expect you to be quick and get a job but it just doesn't work like that, you know?
On another note, it's wonderful to think that Christmas is just in a few short days! My brother and his wife were able to get enough time off of work to come from Utah to Oregon (and then onto California) to spend the season with the family. My aunt and my grandma were also able to make time and the trip and so our Christmas dinner will be crowded but well worth it. :)
On Sunday, the choir will be performing a handful of songs and, along with two boys, I was asked to give a short talk to the congregation. It will be interesting for sure especially seeing as I can talk for ages and will only be allotted 5-7 minutes. Not cool seeing as it'll take a lot of work to keep it short, concise and worth listening to. I'm to give a talk about the wise men who came to see Jesus Christ and somehow tie in the saying that one usually sees on bumper stickers: wise men still seek Him. There aren't many scriptural references to the wise men for the Christmas story and so lds.org will most definitely be my best friend for the next couple of days. I'll have to remember to let you know how it all goes down.
I can't think of anything else to write as of right now but hopefully I will be updating this blog a little more often. ;)
Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!! And may you all see how the Spirit of Christ blesses your lives.
