Now. Looking back. I can say that many things are different. I'm almost ready to graduate with an A.S. in Early Childhood Education and have laid canvassing aside for the time being.
Mmmm. Why? Well, I have become weary in well doing you might say. That perhaps was wrong terminology but the point I'm making is that we sometimes need a break even from good activities. The Lord says, "Come apart and rest awhile", and He means just what He says.
Canvassing is probably one of the most fulfilling jobs one will ever find. It's far from boring and offers many opportunities to touch thousands of lives. You find people who are at the point of giving up on God and their situation. They are suffering and have no one to turn to. Until you come with books about Someone who can give them a new beginning.
Nonetheless, I have chosen to lay canvassing aside for the time being and pursue other occupations. I must say that it has been a good change.
A break from hectic hours and sleeping on floors is nice. I don't miss waking up at 3 AM to pack up and move to another location or clean up the church so it's presentable when the head elder comes to evaluate how we've taken care of the building. However, I'm glad each of those things happened because, though I wasn't pleased then, it makes for great laughs today.
I laugh about the times I messed up horribly during the canvass and must have looked retarded. I find it funny the times I tripped and scattered my books while heading to doors. The super hilarious rejections poor souls tried to muster up which didn't really make sense. I hope they have a chance again in the future to accept the Gospel.
Randomness.
Life changes and every next chapter is beautiful.
It's possible that this is the end of my college career. But even if that's the case, it's not the end of learning by any means. Nor will it be the end of the classroom. Teachers never leave.
I will now retreat back into my cave and perhaps blog when the fancy strikes again. Wait and see!
