Getting There...

I just finished applying for a job... not just any job, but a "job, job."

What's funny is that i've spent so much time being busy with school and work that once I finished my schooling and got my bachelor's, i'm noticing all the little things i've been missing.

Now is definitely a time to work on "character". Character... that word gives me chills. I have been trying to read the first chapter out of Dallas Willard's Divine Conspiracy, and although it racks my brain... the pearls of wisdom are amazing!

There is a desperate need for connecting the intellectual with the practical - do we do what we know, and do we know what we do? Are we truly living out what we say we're living out, or are we babbling and carrying ourselves out to be what we profess?

It's not a religious philosophy... it's common sense right?

We're in a generational era where we want "real" - real life dramas, reality t.v., real time speeds, etc... what about real character?

Do we even know who we are? Are we in touch with our character?

The answer... well, I guess that's personal and subjective... For me, the quest of developing solid character begins... tonight.

Am I going to do this, or do that? So many different decisions to make...

Character...

As I sent the final product of my application and resume, I am feeling hopeful, anxious and yet, optimistic on what bright new things God has in store for me and my future.
