The Hear And Now

Greetings from God and Christ His beloved Son!!!! I love this whole idea around blogging, self expression and whatnot, they why don't I do it (that's another topic). I'm sitting in a very unique place, it's get more unique by the day, I've never been without a job this long involuntarily ever in my life. There are good days and challenged days, days when I'm full of hope, and days when I could use some more. Praise God that I'm saved by His grace and can turn my troubles over to my Lord and savior Jesus Christ!!! You may ask, why has it taken sooooo long to find a job, easily one could point to the horrid condition of Northern California schools, the federal budget situation and on and on, but quite honestly I wasn't a good enough steward on my last two Sacramento area jobs and the Lord had just had enough!!! Sure there may have been other circumstances that will remain unproven but bottom line it comes down to me. What did I do to remain employed, did I go the extra mile, put in the extra time, seek answers when I had questions...NO!!! I'm putting my family through some tough times but I remain faithful and I trust in the Lord, I've got work to do on myself, I'm not sure I've even changed much, unfortunately I'm very selfish, there's no blessing in it, i need to humble myself, repent, ask for forgiveness and make amends, only then might I hear from the Lord!!!

unemployed but not null and void

Greetings To All and To All Greetings,

My prayer is that you stay tuned in to God's will for your life and He will answer. Blogging is too new for me but I was encouraged to return to it last night by an old friend so here I am. Where to begin...somewhere, anywhere, everywhere right? In the here and now I'm blessed, woke up to yet another day of grace, favor, forgiveness. At the same time I'm unemployed, "line starts here" you might add, I'm feeling ya!! I can't complain, God takes care of every single one of my needs and many of my "wants." My lovely wife Lucy loves me and me her, she's besides me every step of the way. Back to the unemployed deal; I've been on a few interviews this summer, close but no cigar; I've got a district considering me literally as we speak, to God be the glory. It's gonna happen, what's gonna happen, somethings gonna happen, I have faith that the Lord will provide, He hasn't failed me yet (That's good news y'all).

Anyway, have I said it's hecka hOT in Sacramento? I don't mess around, I'm inside, let someone get burn up (I say that lovingly), my mom is the sun worshiper, I worship the Son!!! It's cool inside with the a/c and fans, I'll be outside on the deck well after the sun goes down. Thank the Lord church tomorrow and after that I'm supposed to fishing, was considering going this morning but a brotha was tired from going late Thur night. Anyway, holla at me with any constructive criticism, suggestions, ideas or comments. I'm out!! Praise The Lord!!

God's Grace & Mercy

May God's Choicest Blessings Surround You All!!!

In spite of the current conditions of our country and world, we give God the Glory and All The Praise!! In His Word He said there would be trials and tribulations, that the devil would keep busy, the more Christians and other God fearing people seek God the attacks from the evil one quicken. Friends and family be encouraged, God is in control, He knows just how much we can bear, He wants us to rely on Him, trust your faith!! I'm not saying it's easy, it ain't, but we can do it in God's name. The upcoming holiday season will have special meaning to many people in a myriad of ways...joy, pain, gratitude, grief, relief, suffering and happiness to name a few. My prayer is to be a shining light and to be of service to my fellow man or woman and get away from selfishness. LASTLY, I thought it would be kinda neat to have a blog to express various thoughts and feelings. I pray that it's received with the good intentions that it's sent with. God Bless!!
