Making your own chicken from "scratch". lol. Unprepared. Not unprepared so you need salt and pepper. Unprepared like you need a shotgun. That's something I've been struggling with. Recently things have come into my lift that's given the invitation to switch gears around and get out of my comfort zone; and I am SCARED! I'm afraid I'll just stay at this same old, go nowhere job for the rest of my lift. I never went to college, I've worked for the past 4 years out of high school. I'm not at all an academic type of person. But as the saying goes you won't go anywhere without a college degree. Although that's not entirely true for all professions. Good jobs can have on the job training, or spend 6 months at a technical school, etc. So when my small group guys have been pushing and encouraging me to go back to school; I've become very scared. I want to do well and have a good job and make a living that would support a future family, etc. Right now the dream seems so far from my grasp. I think I've just got to jump and live the adventure. It won't be easy, but God will be there. Matt Silver says about our relationship with God; "you gotta do the work" (pray, read your Bible, meet regularly with other christians) if you want to grow. Same is true in life, nothing's handed to you, you gotta do the work. So thanks for encouraging me to live the adventure. Ethan, give me a buzz if you ever feel like getting lost in the woods, or um.......... killing and eating a chicken. Ryan That’s something I haven’t seen before.
