Life's no Game of Dice

The title while hinting to a great quote was really just something that came to mind, and now that I have grabbed your attention I have come to a decision, which telling the people who will read this individually would be long winded.
I'm going to take charge of my life and look into therapy, which I've already started, on how to better manage and handle stress. My life and where I want it is going to be hectic, so I need have a better grip on stress and how to let it go. So for this reason I've decided to look into this.

The title says it all but is honestly true in a multitude of ways. Compared to high school, I'm physically, emotionally, financially, sexually and spiritually in a very different place then I expected to be. And I can't complain, though I'm not used to having responsibility.
This year has been strange is the only real word I can think to use. But I'm getting what I wanted and needed in my life slowly and am highly thankful for that, as well as being a part of some amazing changes in my local community. Part of me expects something bad to happen, but to be honest, while finding jobs is a pain now a days, I now know I'm not alone and have back up plans if I lose this job, I'm not on my own at all, and I have new references as well as new experience in both paying and not paying jobs. Next Monday I'll have kept a job for a month.
Which is kinda a big deal. Yea work is hard at times, since this is my first real job, and all my other jobs didn't A) give me nearly enough hours, B) didn't last very long, C) just never clicked.
Pretty much everyone on staff has said I'm doing great, I'm still slow, but I'm in a very fast pace store and I'm trusted on the line(the line is the term for my work station) by myself, and I do keep up most of the time. Some rushes get crazy though. One time I had 12 orders come in within the span of two minutes. I'll get used to it but yea x.x right now.
Well that's where I am working, and now for the other life updates. As I've said my church got a merger, and we are having a preschool built, well it turns out its sooner then expected, and I spent my days off this week helping move stuff and organize for the preschool, and other community events that'll be coming in the next few years.Its all discussion right now but we are turning our warehouse into a school, where we plan to have adult classes, and possibly a youth group for teens and a young adult group next year. I'm on staff and after the church being the same for all my life its interesting for such a change.
As another religious life change I'm also going to a second church, though thsi one is at evenings and is more for an understanding of sexuality and faith meeting in the middle if that makes sense. Anyone here could tell pretty easily I have a thing for the guys, and well as we all know the people in the bible disagree. Thsi was a major issue I had with Christianity in my youth, and one I asked every single pastor I had their thoughts on it, oddly none asked if I was gay for it, but I guess that'd be rude to ask a young teen when the asker is a 40+ year old man.
I went last week and it was a very important and above all needed trip. I plan to make it a weekly inclusion in my life, and if I have the day off, I might go to their weekend event next week, as while I'm no fan of golf, I am quite ready to meet new people.
Where did I see myself years ago? In college or some desk job filing numbers and typing

New and old jobs

Interesting title no? Anywho this is a life update journal but meh, just wanted to talk about yesterday. Yesterday the church I go to had a merger celebration because three churches have joined together on two campuses to to enhance the community, such as the fact the south campus is covering its spare rooms into classrooms for an on site pre school.
Well yesterday we had two services for the campus, the normal morning one and the merger. Needless to say, the Merger one was long. As I mentioned before I do the media stuff for the church and I find out the day of I'm in charge of it all. The turn out was only around 200 people but needless to say I was running around that sanctuary getting everything set on sound.
Now those who know me well know I'm a bit of a Yes Man, so I'll be honest being in ANY form of leadership was different but good. I could rattle off all the small problems but I'll instead say that good communication is what every organization needs and we had just that so every issue got nipped in the bud before it could be a problem for the service.
In the end the service was one you had to be there to see. Our choir leader was AMAZING on his solo. And so was the north campus' Bell player. Be Still My Soul played entirely by bells is just amazing to hear.
Everyone involved gave their all into it and it came out wonderfully. I'm happy I got the chance to be a part of something so amazing. The cookies afterwards were nice too.
After the service we had a ice cream treat thing and everyone loved everything. The ice cream was great, and some of our members went and made some really good cookies, mine got a few comments and a woman asked me for the recipe. Needless to say everyone had fun.
And with all that we start on the next bit. I have a new job that starts today. I do kitchen work for Steak and Shake. I'm both excited and nervous as all hell about the job. I was gonna wait to describe how my first day was but yea the service was still on my mind.
Should be interesting working with a friend from middle school.
Nothing else much to say .

Well my net is back through much slower but that is not what I'm here about. What I am here about is that I have work, well will soon.
So lets see whats new shall we.
*I had a job interview last week and am now waiting on a background check and an opening to be hired for a kitchen job at steak and shake.
*I have a sound board technician internship with my church
*Decided to get in shape starting yesterday with some light workouts for now.
The church one is very interesting as while I've worked the sound board during service for awhile as a helper to the sound guy, the church wants me to be in charge of sound for the youth service that will be held there by this summer. Its all in planning and waiting for a few weeks but yea, can't wait.
Not much else peeps. But hey work already is great news.
