Hanging Up the Green Apron

Yeah people! Ya heard!? Its all true as of this time next month I shall no longer be a Starbucks Barista. I will tender my resignation in the coming days.

The reason? Well something that was said last week - The fact that we just load ourself up with more responsibilities and even more responsibilities after that and later complain bout not having the time for oneself to relax - really got to me.

So obviously it doesn't take long for me to come to the conclusion that amidst my ever growing assignment workload and church duties perhaps it is better I do not load myself with a side job which I took at a whim being backed by a university buddy who has some what changed for the worst since recent events and doesn't realize it (but who am I to judge her, its her life), with me not really needing the money much.

SO.. three days worth of deliberations and after seeking counsel with my inner circle of advisors I decided to call it quits today. I have to say I'm feeling quite good about it.

There are other inside factors, though none of them major factors, made it very much easier for me to come to this conclusion, however there are those who I will not forget during this lifetime and I hope they are blessed the way they have been a blessing to me.

And so with a slightly heavy heart and lifted burden from my back I prepare to bid thee goodbye green apron, thou hast been funeth whileth it lasteth.

"A man's discernment often leads to him making a choice he doesn't want to make," - Sypher 2008.

There is three things a man cannot escape; death, judgement and change. Lately changes have left me having to step out of my own comort zone and forcing me to take a wider view of the rosy picture I've painted for myself and I realize that where I dwell is but a place where a person like me has no place. Or so I thought.

I shall not name any names, though as tempted as I am to give these people a piece of my mind, has made me question certian things that go on in church. Question it so much in fact that I barely recognized that place anymore.

But some how things that God put in my life more recently forced me to take step further back to realized I'm not meant to drone on these things. I was given these gifts by God and as little as these gifts are, it is meant to glorify He who gave me the gifts. Yeah sounding a little happy clappy but its true, I get so wound up in my overthinking I forget the fundamentals of the faith which is to forgive.

And so as of today no matter how much *blank* I go through this blog shall edify and not ridicule.
