What's go'in on?

What's go'in on? That's really the question that we've been asking ourselves. What is going on? Deidre and I moved down here about a month and a half ago and sometimes it seems like nothing has really happened. Of course, then we look at what has happened and it seems like a ton.
First the job situations:
Deidre now works for the California Pizza Kitchen, which is a pizza restaurant that feels a little like a step down from Stanford's, but it's really just a job to pay the bills. But hopefully it won't be for too much longer, only till we get set up substitute teaching, but I guess we'll see about that.
I now have 3 jobs- one EMT-ing for special events like Ice Hockey games and Eric Clapton concerts (I'm working the Long Beach Grand Prix this next weekend, I'm kinda excited about that) it is only occasional work, and pays $8/ hr. so it is kinda supplemental as well. I also work for a company called the Boojum Institute. This is a institute that does Outdoor Experiential Education and takes kids on backpacking trips and ropes courses and fun stuff like that. This job doesn't happen too often, so it's kinda part time as well...which is the reason for the last job. The last one is new, and I start training next week, it's at a restaurant down on the waterfront here in Long Beach. It seems like a really nice place, and the people are friendly.

Other than that, church has been really good recently. We were just over at the pastor's house for Easter earlier today and got to talking about starting a high school ministry at the High School that is (literally) across the street from us. Something like 4000+ 10-12 graders that are African American, Hispanic, or Samoan. Sounds perfect for Deidre and I, we'll see if anything works out with it though...

I guess, other than that we've kinda been hanging out seeing if all this stuff can come together somehow, knowing that the Lord is faithful, and He knows that getting hired on at the school districts as substitutes is taking forever - it's not an accident. Living that reality is tough for Deidre and me both right now. Thanks for supporting us as we follow Him!
