For those of you who have been wondering where my blog has gone, and who the guilty party is...I am ready to make my accusation:
Senior Design, in Richie's Senior Year, with the Copious Amounts of Work
But now that is over, and I have more important issues to deal with. In particular I need to work on trusting the Lord in all things. This was made very clear to me today when my boss told me that, due to a corporate wide hiring freeze caused by the economic situation, he can't promise me a job when I graduate. While this does not cause me any immediate hardship, it does throw my future into doubt...and I'm not good with doubt.
The whole trusting thing...not my strong point. I know everything happens according to God's providential control, and yet I'm the kind of guy that, even when I'm spinning out of control on an endless sheet of ice...you can bet my hands will be on the steering wheel. And somehow having the steering wheel rip off in my hands is infinitely more terrifying than spinning in the first place. Logical? I think not.
But back in the real world. It does raise a very legitimate question about where I will be living over the next few years. I had hoped to stay in the area and live where I am now...but now it seems increasingly likely that I will end up somewhere much further away. Texas seems to have a lot of jobs, and good paying ones at that. Texas is a long way away. And still any semblance of a job in TN alludes me...

I highly recommend finding yourself in situations where you have no control, and where said lack of control makes you abjectly miserable, as a means of learning to care less about control in the first place.
"eludes"
=P
but, i'm in the "not trusting God enough" club, too, so ... yeah.
