Yeah, I said I’d post four posts last week and that didn’t happen too well. I guess that accountability thing didn’t work out too swell.
Did you notice that rhyme? Soak it in, because you might have to get used to it. Just kidding. Maybe.

At a divisional staff meeting, my area talked about our roles as staff on campus. For whatever reason, someone brought up the idea of InterVarsity staff as “slayers”… Campus Slayers for the Gospel.
You might think we’re freaks, but we’re just trying to be symbolic here. Look at Paul in Ephesians 6. There’s a lot of metaphor in that.

I’ve been claimed again. Except this time, I am working at a Christian bookstore instead of a high-end retail clothing store. Ironically, grumpy customers still manage to follow me. It’s like I have this detection signal in my leg and people have radars to find me. “Oh, Krizel thinks she can escape the wrath of retail horrors by working at a Christian store. Let’s go send a rampant army of infuriated customers there to complain about not being able to use a coupon that expired in ’97. Maybe we’ll even try to return something completely irrelevant to the store, like a samurai sword and rotten waffles. I think there’s a pile of shirts we can demolish, too.”

Like everyone else in this world, I have issues. I have a chronic, debilitating mental infection called wourriphilus. Wourrie for short. Actually, it’s just worry. I’m sorry if I frightened you. I know this doesn’t sound as uncontrollably merciless as Mad Cow Disease or the Ebola virus. But when you’re an introvert, like me, dark thoughts fester in a frenzy, eating away – like a legion of venomous zombies – at any good thing left in your daydreaming, rainbow mind moments so that only wourrie can have its freedom and room to exist.
I am a wourriphilus wart.

Hi friends. Just an update, if you care. I got sick recently and it’s been really hard to focus on anything, except being sick. I try to socialize, and all I can think about is how I want to puke or yell for no apparent reason. So, I tried to write in my prayer journal, thinking it’d be a kind of remedy that’ll help me take my mind off my body. I considered it inspiration.

For some, I realize that my conversational drawings and chat room experience may not provide too much depth into how I serve or what I envision for the campus. But I hope that the previous entries would at least make you feel more welcome to my world of… confessions… ? Confessions of a Campus Staff Minister, I guess.

Note: This is just a friendly exaggeration. 
Even after explaining why I’ll be going to Fresno, some people insist on asking, “Why Fresno” as if I haven’t provided any substantial reasoning to justify a move from a place like Los Angeles to a place like Fresno (which was considered one of America’s Most Boring Cities next to Bakersfield, according to Forbes.) Or I get questions like “What’s in Fresno” when I already explained that my calling and occupation resides in this area. It’s like the mention of the city paralyzes them from being able to comprehend.
