I started school this week for those of you that didn't know, actually yesterday to be exact. I'm driving up to Schaumburg two days a week from Ottawa to go to the Illinois Institute of Art in Schaumburg for Digital Film and Video Production. Yesterday was fun, but I think I'm in remedial drawing. We were working on one-point perspective yesterday and a lot of people were having trouble with it. Maybe I can just visualize things better than the other people in my class
Also, I got a job at JTS Pools in Ottawa, and I'm getting a '05 Pontiac vibe. Things are starting to look up for me. It's funny, because I figured that God was going to protect me and give me things as I need them, but it was just so hard to trust him. But now, I have a job, a car and I'm going to school. It's time for me to start giving back again. Through all of this, I've realized what i really do have and that none of what I think I have is actually mine. I think of the book of Job from the Bible. Job had a lot of stuff, in fact, he was the richest man alive at the time. But God allowed Satan to take everything, houses, children, servants, cattle, money and everything else that you can think of, except for his wife and his health. While not everything was taken away from me. At the time, it seemed like I was losing everything, but I realize now that I never really had any of it. It's one of those things that's in my mind for a while, then I forget and I need to be re-reminded. It sucks that I have to go through that, hopefully I've learned my lesson this time, but in the end, I'm going to better for it.
