Working...again

Hello my followers,

I've been working since Thursday...well...I worked Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday(today). I talked to Rino, my boss in August, yesterday and I will be working for him during nights. That won't start until next week or so. I hope its soon because I'm only here for a short time.

I need to work as much as I could before July 13th. I will work as the Carpenter's helper Monday through Friday and I will work nights at Stanton's Distributing Monday through Friday and on Saturday I will during the day for Stanton's.

Not much else has been happening. Can you believe we've been graduated for a week and 5 days. Almost two weeks. Its over. I read the plan the church laid out for me to take the church as Pastor. So as of right now, I'm an assistant TO the pastor. In a year or two, year at least and two at most, I will become assistant Pastor. Then Associate in the same timeline, and then Pastor.

Well, I will go.

For His purpose,

Shane Gordon.

Home...again

Hey everybody!!!

I've been home for about two days now and well...its like one big blur. College is over and done with, now, its work and save money until I get back to the States to marry my sweetheart Sandy. I am really looking forward to being her husband. I am certainly blessed by God to have such a wonderful girl to be my bride and have her come all the way up here to live with me. Usually, its the other way around these days. The husband goes to where the wife's family is.

Anyways, I started work today. I am once again a carpenter's helper. They gave me a dollar raise. I praise the Lord for that. I won't be able to start my second job until next week I think...I hope. I'll probably get a dollar raise there too. I'm hoping I'll get a dollar raise. The second job is Stanton's distributing. Its a grocery store and a warehouse and a food distributor to other communities around Inuvik.

Actually, they just opened a store in Aklavik. So they have a store in Inuvik, Tuk, and Aklavik. So one thing I'm hoping to get is a full time job there after Sandy and I get married. So pray for that if you will. Thanks everybody.

What else is new?....My room is full of boxes. I have hardly any room to move around. I have to step over things and around things to get to my bed. I'm probably going to move my boxes into my dad's huge gigantic trailer outside until next week. Next week I start moving my belongings to the trailer Sandy and I will be living in. My pastor needs to move some things of his son's out of the trailer before I can start moving my stuff in.

I won't be living there until Sandy and I get back into town from our wedding. So, for now, its just storing my things there. I also have some of Sandy's belongings here in my room. So I'm running out of space. She has already sent a couple more boxes in the past few days. So I'm going to run out of a lot of space quick if I don't get a move on. I have 2 more boxes of my own still coming.

Well, thats all for now.

Last Week

Hello all,

Well, I'm in the last week. This week you would call the beginning of the end. I have one last final and that is tomorrow. That should go well. It is a lot of lasts this week. I had my last Sunday service here, last junior church, last nursing home, last ministry slip, etc. But the end cannot come sooner.

My parents made it. It was good to see them.

I have nothing else to say. I just want to be done.

The Countdown has commenced...

Howdy you all (y'all),

Well, it is another adventure to another one hundred more posts Lord willing. Who knows what it will be like when I'm giving you my 200th post. It shall be interesting but that is way up ahead in time and a little too far ahead to be thinking about.

But I am looking forward to graduation and its coming fast. Precisely a week and 3 days. The countdown has begun! May the 14th will be the beginning of the end of my college career. These past 4 years have been a growing experience in my life. A lot of lessons learned in good and bad ways but they were learned.

In other news...my parents will be arriving this Sunday. It will be good to see them since I have not seen them since August of 08. Skip Wilson is getting excited to take my Dad to Cabela's. My Mom will be going along for the ride too I assume. I think it will be May the 12th when they go. Skip said that is probably the best day to go. May the 12th will be my last day of finals.

My finals begin this Wednesday. I have one Wednesday, one Thursday, and a week tomorrow will be my last one. I've been looking forward to being done for quite some time now. I'm glad I stuck it out and will be finishing a four year degree in Pastoral Studies. The Lord is good and patient.

For His purpose,

Shane Gordon.
