I Got My Fixie and a Job!

My dreams are starting to take shape wonderfully the longer I live. I recently got hired at Starbucks, a franchise that highly respects its employees and gives them many perks, and I just bought my brakeless (yikes!) fixed gear bike (aka fixie).
I'm looking forward to my first job experience and the money I will make that I will be sure to save for my future manual Honda Civic and another fixie.
I'm also looking forward to modding my fixie and making it my own by changing the rims, handlebars, crankset, and adding lights to it. I also want to learn how to do tricks on my fixie. I guess I'll learn by practicing downstairs in my garage where it's so smooth that my tire doesn't burn off when I skid!
I can't wait to get really good at it!

Oh! I also got my driver's license in the mail two days ago! Woohoo! Surprisingly, I still haven't gone on the freeway yet because there always seems to be a reason why I can't go on it. Oh well! It'll happen in time and I know I'll be fine because Jesus drives for me and through me :)

Interviews and Jobs

Well, as you may know, I got my license this week but unfortunately I am still in need of a job, just like many of you that are reading this post. But I realized something important in my ongoing endeavor to find a job; you need a lot of persistence and determination. You may even have to wake up at 4 in the morning to go to Starbucks to talk to the manager for 30 seconds and then leave (which is what I did today). But I know that if I keep working at it I will get the job and God will be glorified. Now that I've been enlightened about some biblical doctrine, I can really see that my life in Jesus is far from futile and is exactly what He wants it to be. He will work all these things for my good and, ultimately, for His glory.

God bless you,
