weird things are happening // i’m the new SID and the new women’s soccer assistant coach at San Diego Christian College for 2009-2010 year (wheww, a lot to learn). it’s crazy to think that over the last 2 years, I have gone through interviews for all that consists of this new job… here’s what I mean.

  • April 2007, I proposed the revamp of the SID spot to IWU – soundly rejected for reasons I won’t go into.
  • August 2007, interviewed and landed a graphic design job in Indianapolis.
  • February 2008, interviewed for Grad Assistant position- allowing me to get my masters in organizational leadership from Olivet Nazarene and serve as the women’s assistant coach… only God knows what happened with that. but needless to say, I stayed in Indianapolis and never moved to the Chicago area.
  • March 2008, I lose my job as a graphic designer and obey the Lord to wait and not look for work because it will come to me.
  • January 12, 2009, I get a call for a job offer – it entails: SID (attempted April 07), Designer (fulfilled 2007-08), Assistant women’s soccer coach (attempted Feb 08).

With that being said, God is funny to me. It officially starts July 1, but i’ll be doing groundwork up until then. Still waiting for the other big key to fall into place – the church..but He’ll do His thing. Funny reconnections are going to happen at this place. Some date back to forever ago, some were deeper than others, some meerly were name i knew that i’ve met for the first time. Good things.. all good…. even if not at first glance…all good things.

I’ll leave you with 2 pictures.. from my trusty EnV.

you most likely pay for what you get. yes, that may not be true for items found at macy’s…because you could probably find something comperable at walmart or target. but for moving cross country, i am willing to bet MUCH money, that it is true. a few things to beware of if you plan on moving across country…or anything outside of driving your own uhaul.

  1. do not take for granted the blessing of customer service that can speak your language.
  2. before they come, request a copy of everything that you’ll be signing because they won’t have them on them.
  3. question everything that is “provided” on the estimate. EVERYTHING. because you may come to find that the boxes they promised are only for “local” customers. (chicago to indy isn’t local)
  4. grill them on pick up to departure time frames/delivery time frames/gratuity costs. because they most likely will not document that on their website.
  5. if they demand cash on delivery for the final payment… steer clear.
  6. if you have a time frame that you need your things by… look for a company that guarantees delivery factored into the price.
  7. somethings you just have to learn on your own…

praise God i don’t need my things immediately.. now to work on the whole, getting a license scene. you can’t do anything in CA without a license.. get a job..drive a car..get car insurance..open a bank account….

ah, california…
