March Madness Has Begun!
NCAA Basketball (american uni) playoffs have arrived. It's one of the good things abuot being back home. For the next 2 weeks, it's a lot of basketball on my television. This is a good thing right now because I don't know when I'll be able to get into Moose Jaw. The snow keeps coming down fast. For lots of people, this isn't a problem. However, because I was in England until 3 weeks ago, I missed all of the winter driving experiences. Sad to say, but I've gone soft. BUT visibility is poor as well, so better to play it safe than sorry. Ok, back to the topic at hand. NCAA basketball playoffs is when (if i am at home during the last 2 weeks in march, which i haven't for a few years) my dad and i get tp really hang out by ourselves because no one else in the family is interested in it. It's one of my favourite times with my dad. Last night while my dad and I were watching basketball, we had an amazing talk about integrating your faith into a secular sports environment/organisation. Which I had been struggling with a lot lately. It was so encouraging for me to hear just about the little things my dad does or says within the athletic league he is involved with as being an athletic director of a Bible college (the only one in the league). We also had a great chat about the possibility of me being able to graduate next May---a whole 6 months ahead of schedule maybe. It would be a lot of hard work and would include me taking possibly 6 modules over first semester, but it would also mean that the only thing i would have left to do in January is my work placement. So we talked about the possibilities of where I could do my placement and he knows if I could, I would be going back to England for it. (For those of you over there, if you know of any places that would be great for a sport management placement, please let me know!) I have really realised just how special a father-daughter relationship is. I've always been close to my dad, but i've taken it for granted way too often. Thank you Lord for my dad and the relationship that we have where I can share what is on my heart and I can learn from his experiences and advice. Please help me not to take it for granted.
I am now getting excited for going back to U of M first in May for two weeks of modules (a semester's worth of a module crammed into 1 week. It's hard work, but the plus side is that they are finished in a week) and sorting out more distance education modules. And then I am getting excited to go back in September which will hopefully be my final year. Please pray for me as I try to make that choice.
Quick job update: Possibly have the opportunity to work at pizza hut. Through a family friend who is the district manager of pizza hut for my area has told me to drop off my resume at the moose jaw pizza hut and to tell the manager there that i talked with the district manager. So, as soon as this snow has cleared up somewhat, i'm off to see if i can get myself a job. prayers appreciated for that one too.
