Potato Leeked

So much has gone on since my last entry…. I will try to give the cliff-notes version… Well I only have two weeks until my first triathlon ever. The Olympic distance is most defiantly going to be a challenge. Some days I have trouble running just three miles after a long bike or swim. I have to keep reminding myself that I can run and walk the last leg or the race.
These last few weeks I have been praying long and hard that God would direct me into my career. I know that the offer from Grant Thornton is still on the table come September. This offer is contingent upon me finishing the accounting program this summer at Santa Clara. With my four jobs and trying to figure out how to pay for it sometimes I just put my hands in the air and said God what the heck do you want me to do? Most of my workweeks I put in about 60-80 hour weeks and how am I going to finish school while doing this? About a week ago I was working in the kitchen at the Salvation Army and one of the kids only put a single bag in one of the trash cans. I proceeded to pull the bag out of the can and lode it on the gator 4x4 and take it out to the dumpster. I drove out to the dumpster and pulled the bag off the tailgate to hoist it into the dumpster and the bag burst all over me. I was drenched with Potato Leek soup and bacon grease. I wanted to cuss so dang bad. I just grumbled back to the kitchen dripping and had a conversation with God saying why the heck am I here? I have a college degree and I am chucking soup and grease bags. At this point I realized that I had to do whatever I could to jump into my career. I had pressed on some doors and the only door that was opened was the accounting.
Some people think accounting and they think about how boring it is going to be. I think about the talents that God has engifted me with and that I can help people in their weakness. What a great thing. Plus it is one of my life goals to get a CPA. Another interesting thing is that if you look through the classified adds in the job section there are always going to be two jobs people are always looking for Accountants and Nurses. Match Set Point.
