wow! did you see paul hamm's performance tonight?! that was absolutely CrAZy how he pulled it off and won the all-around gold medal! he went from being in 1st to 12th to 4th and then back to 1st again! talk about an amazing moment! now that's what i call a "clutch" performance!
after seeing that performance, i felt moved to watch one of my favorite movies growing up...Nadia! i'm sure not many people have seen this movie about nadia comaneci, the best woman gymnast in history, but this movie really inspired me growing up. even in all its cheesy-ness, i'm always amazed by her "never give up" attitude which led her to receive the first perfect 10 in gymnastics history followed by 6 more in the 1976 olympics! cRAzY!
as for me, i've finally officially begun my job search. no, this isn't an "amazing moment" (though my parents might say it is), but it is significant. i've been saying that i'm going to start looking for months now, but something always came up and i postponed beginning my search. but, this past week i finally got to submitting resumes...3 to be exact.
it's really kind of sad that the motivating factor that got me here is b/c i may be facing a potential move soon, and i really want to find a job before that happens. i think w/o this potential move, i might have thought about postponing my search until the fall. i'm thinking that God really knows me best, and finally arranged for me to be in this situation to nudge me along as if to say "ok, c'mon, gotta get looking". while i totally appreciate this "nudge" thru this situation given to me by God's grace, i really wish i could be more motivated on my own like paul hamm and nadia comaneci. *sigh*
but now, i gotta get cramming so that i can do well in my first interview coming up next week. ugh...must...be...more...motivated!
note: i got some serious cramming to do after jems warm beach this weekend! please pray for me!
