Waiting for Arlene
To anyone who prayed for my requests yesterday, thank you so much. Prayer is such an incredible thing. I don't have any more updates on them as of now, but I'll definitely post them as they come.
Today was fairly standard. I went to work around 10:30 this morning and stayed until shortly after 5:00. They asked me to stay an extra hour because apparantly someone on night crew was going to be late coming in. So hooray for extra hours. :) I actually needed to speak to my operator about working night shift for the week of July 11-15. My church has Creative Arts Camp that week, and they need some volunteers to help with activities like music, drama, arts, and crafts. But since I've been working during the day ever since I started with Haywood Mall, I wanted to make sure I cleared it with the operator before I committed to it. Thankfully, he had no qualms with it and gave me his complete support. You're the greatest, Keith. Managers like you are hard to come by.
Wow. Three major events back-to-back-to-back. Creative Arts Camp, our family trip to North Myrtle Beach, and then the mission trip to Johns Island. At least I'll be staying busy.
I forgot to mention that last week marked the beginning of the 2005 hurricane season. And as if on cue, the first tropical system of the year has formed: Arlene. As I speak, I'm monitoring this strong tropical storm, fast closing on hurricane strength with winds of 70 mph, as it bears down on the Gulf Coast. In fact, with the rate that the barometric pressure of the storm is dropping, it'll probably be a hurricane by the time I publish this entry. And its heading straight for the Florida/Louisiana coast, which is certainly the last thing those poor residents need to hear. After dealing with the likes of Charley, Frances and Ivan last year in a record-breaking season of hurricanes that struck land, to have the first storm of the season coming your way right off the bat is enough to make you groan. My prayers are with them all. Arlene's not Ivan the Terrible, but it's certainly another headache to deal with.
