Back At Home

After eight awesome days in Costa Rica, I am back home! Jason, April, and I had a great time!! Costa Rica is amazing, and we got to experience some cool things. Jason had been in the same area for a month earlier this year, so he was a great tour guide for restaurants, surfing spots, etc.

After all the talk about SCUBA diving, we ended up not doing it at all. Turns out the conditions are not all that great where we were, and we didnt want to spend 4 days of our trip on it. So we surfed, explored, went tubing, and did an amazing ropes course in the mountains! Click the picture below to see more pics of our trip!

Hello From Tamarindo, Costa Rica

Just wanted to say hello from Costa Rica! We are having a blast so far- went surfing yesterday and probably scuba diving tomorrow. The country is beautiful, the people a great, and the food is amazing!! Check out the pic from our room last night…..

Costa Rica

Just in case you were wondering, this is where I will be all week! Jealous? (I know, that wasnt nice of me)

Jason, April, and I are going to Tamarindo, Costa Rica for a week to do some surfing and get SCUBA certified!! Looking forward to it except that I sprained my foot badly this morning lugging sound equipment. Hope I will still be able to do some stuff once we get there. Anyway- will post pics asap. See you all in a week!

Calling

Wow, time flies. I have been out of a job for over 2 months already! I really should have gotten something else going by now, but Im having a hard time getting motivated. Now before you write me off as just being lazy, hear me out. Im having a hard time getting motivated to just take whatever the best job I happen to find is.

See, my first job after college, working for FCA, was something that to me felt like a “calling.” It was something that I was excited about, something I was good at, and something that I could feel God using me in. I felt like a fish in water. Ever since then, my jobs have followed the path of least resistance. I have simply weighed the options available to me and chosen the best one. I have always prayed for God’s leading, that He would “call” me to another place that fits my passions and strengths. But he has been pretty quiet about the whole thing. So I choose the best option and go with it. Only I am miserable.

I do not want to continue down the same path. I dont want to just pick something and try to do it in a way that honors God. I want to be doing something that i was made to do. So I continually ask him what that thing is. And he is silent. So I keep asking. And wait.

Good and Bad

Good – I got to go hear Blues Traveler last night. (you know, the 90’s rock band with a great funky sound that gave new meaning to playing the harmonica)

Bad- The sound at Headliners was so awful, you could barely hear the vocals and the harmonica. HELLO- those are the 2 things that are the most important. I know I am picky about that kind of thing, but even my non-musician friends were frustrated by it. I even walked around the whole place trying to find a spot where the mix was decent, but no luck. Every show I have ever gone to there has sounded terrible. I am not sure if I will ever go back. How can you call yourself a “music venue” and consistently have terrible sound?
