Someone in the thread Describing the End as Soon? Should we? said they would like to hear more about my experiences and I can't think of a more approprate place. If this is not the correct place then please feel free to move it to a more suited location.

Chinese Laundry
Every job I've had after my youth has been one I asked God for, then get out of the blue. I was driving my car in the city and ran across a sign, "Chinese Laundry". I thought it would be interesting to see what a chinese laundry was so I stopped my car and went inside, a woman's shoe store. I scratched my head and asked God if I could work there, I'd like to meet the guy who came up with that name.
I'm at work, unhappy with my job, when I get a call from a head hunter. This head hunter offers me a job for Cels Enterprises. I set uo an interview over the phone, we're far away from each other so we decide to meet in a coffee shop between us. We have the interview, I get the job, show up on Monday.
I pull into the address and notice Chinese Laundry is in the same lot. I go to the office, oh, Cels Enterprises is the Corporate office.

The gift of faith
When I was very young I read about the gift of faith in the bible, if you have the faith of a mustard seed and tell this mountain to be lifted up and cast into the ocean and believe it will thwn it will be so (one passage has faith in God, one leaves In God out). I wanted this so I tried to get it, I figured levitation was a good start. I read about levitation and such and couldn't levitate and I tried to figure out why I couldn't, and I realized it was because I didn't believe I could. Digginng deeper, I didn't believe I could because everyone said it was impossible. I realized it wasn't the the fact that I didn't believe I could enough it was because I believed I couldn't. I had to figure out a way to get rid of this disbelief, to let what happen, happen because I knew it would. I was able to suspend my disbelief long enough to levitate to the ceiling. I've done this twice, obce when I was young, like I said, and another time in my early 20's just to see if I still could, and I could. It is not easy to get into such a believing state though.
