There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.

First of all, that quote is terrible!! CATS! a refuge from miseries of life?? please explain to me how they are a source of refuge.


So as I was attempting to sum up my complete professional career after over 17 years of life on to 1 sheet of paper, I started to think. The things that really matter in life, the things that I consider important, aren't what you would call appropriate for a professional business resume.

Which is a bummer because my real resume, was pretty lame. It consisted mostly of super-inflated words that described my experience as a lifeguard, and a hostess...and something about national beta club? However, I am such a good inflater of words that "sitting in a chair with a whistle" and "standing there and occasionally seating people" turned into almost two pages of utter nonsense.

What would a life resume look like? Our complete story of the relationship with Jesus Christ, for starters! i could be done with my resume with just that qualification, thank you! how i have helped to raise my younger siblings as well as the responsibility that it produces, how i have learned through hard experiences and matured and grown through them. awesome trips that i've been a part of that have changed my life. favorite Christmas gifts, the occasional inside joke and pictures, pictures, pictures!!! But if you think about it, who would you even give a life resume to? God? If that were the case you could just stop at my first credential. done. That's so crazy to think that all we really need in this life is accepting Christ's saving grace and we are good to go. All of life's other stuff is just fluff. Just think of ALL of the sins you have committed in your life compared to ..saying yes to Jesus!! we got it good. Anyways, I'm done rambling.
