I’m overwhelmed with life right now. In all aspects, so pardon me for not responding to emails/tweets/gchat messages/comments/phone calls… I’m working on pulling myself together but it’s taking so much effort just to get by at the moment. *sigh* I reiterate, 2010 is NOT such a good year.
Update on Anthony: Since my last post, he arrived at Andrews AFB Sunday night and was taken over to Walter Reed, where he’ll be for the foreseeable future. Shauna (my cousin and his wife) and my Uncle Billy are there with him.
Monday was a long day filled with extensive surgeries. That’s going to be the routine for a while. During this time they were bringing him in and out of sedation to test neurological functions. He starting breathing 40% on his own. By the end of the day he was taken off sedation and is now just on pain meds.
Yesterday, was filled with more surgeries to cleanse and repair his many wounds. He’s still fighting for his life at this point, and the doctor’s are doing everything they possibly can for him.
Prayers are VERY much still needed. And VERY much appreciated by my whole family.
Life: This whole situation is crazy… I mean for all of the obvious reasons, but also because it’s made me fall to my knees and ask God for help. I can’t remember the last time where I’ve really relied on God like this. My faith used to be SUCH an important part of my life, but over the years it’s taken a back-burner to every other thing imaginable. This happened for a reason, but I’ve never managed to get things back into perspective.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve tried. Heck, I’ve desperately tried to find a good church up here, but I’ve had no luck. There were a few places that I kind of liked, but in the end they just didn’t work out. Now I want to find a good church home more than ever, I just don’t know where I start. I don’t want the uber-formal liturgical style church. I want a church home with other young professionals. Some place that has a contemporary service. And preferably Baptist, but I’m not beholden to that.
I guess my standards are set high, because my parents have SUCH an amazing church in NC.
Praying that this too works out… that I find a church home SOONER rather than later.
Job front: I’m so ready for a job right now too. I feel so selfish thinking about this whilst everything else is happening in my life, but I feel as though I’ve lost a sense of purpose this summer. I know I’m one of the best new media/political messaging people around (sorry if I’m not being humble, but I work my butt off), and I’m having THE hardest time. When I had a job, EVERYONE wanted to poach me from it and hire me. Now that I’m looking for a job, there are none to be found and “everyone” seems to have already hired someone else.
I’m beginning to think I need a new field. A new town. A new purpose. Heck, any purpose right about now would be good.
I’m just so over everything.
