sorry i haven't been updating lately. things have been changing with my new hours at work. and thanks to randy for undating you on that. like he said i am working 4, 10 hour shifts a week. from 6 till 4:30. (so basically i get a 4 day weekend every other week) so that means any time that i do have i am either resting, off at some activity or driving siblings to theirs, or i am spending time with someone very important. which means that i haven't even been on the internet very much. and when i am it's either for a short time or i just don't feel like typing anything out. so that is my explanation for not posting lately. hopefully once i get this whole new schedule figured out i will be able to post on a more regular basis.
as for work. i am starting to enjoy it even more. i am finally getting a chance to weld now, since i passed a CWB test (Canadian Welding Bureau) it is a practical test that i have heard many people have failed their first time. but i was successful on my first attempt. during the work day i can be found doing a variety of different things. anything from welding to cutting parts, making deliveries, picking up parts, sweeping, or just helping others out with whatever they are doing. i've been told by a few different people around the shop that i could probably do just about anything in the back shop. and i am close to being able to do that. i have just been doing what others have told me to do and have learned so much along the way.
there have also been a few struggles along the way. just being in an environment like that has been spiritually draining. with the strong language that is usually used around the shop i have had to watch what i say and use the 5 second rule that was established at Sonshine. just so i have the time to think about what i am going to say. there have been quite a few thoughts that have come to my head that i try to push off. like swears and insults that i know i shouldn't use. but God has also given me opportunities to talk to others not quite on a spiritual level but about drinking or drugs. i feel like these conversations are starting to get more in depth and am just waiting for them to reach the spiritual aspect of things.
so hopefully this has satisfied those that have been longing for an update and like i said i will try to update this a little more often.
