To Be Sure

How do we know when we are doing the right thing? How do we know when the path that we are taking, is "the ONE". I DON'T KNOW that's why I am asking you! Maybe it is the natural flow of things. When things just fall in line. I have a theory. Life isn't all about following commandments. I don't even think it is about doing the right thing! I believe it is about having and maintaing the "right" relationship with God. Life is all relational. You can gauge success in life by your meaningful relationships. Leave a legacy of love. that last line, I'm sure of.

Smiles All Around

This is the first Valentine's Day, that I have bought jewlery for my girls. Necklaces with a heart-shaped birthstone charm. They went CRAZY. kind of like if I hit every number on the powerball and the powerball #. I wasn't able to spend much time with them, but every minute counts to them(and to me)>

Now I could be wrong, but....

I guess learning to love starts with loving yourself. Knowing that you have self worth is a vital motivational tool. Knowing that God Loves us and has something (mission)that we ourselves should see as worth doing. That's where I am at. Working on the life application of what a "mission" is. Jesus tell us to "GO.." but the mission might be right here, right where we are. In the state we don't want to be in, At a job we don't want to work at, with people that we cant stand to be around, in a relationship that crashed three months ago, but we don't have the wisdom to crawl out from the wreckage. I found out that most of the people i don't like to be around are like me, one way or another. i have to be still enough to see how to deal with that person so that I can allow God to work on me. I have to stay in places I don't want to be, so that God can develop a spirit of perseverance in me

Later Than Never

So , Here I am thirty years old and finally getting thing under way. What things, well....Life in general. I mean growing up, all I knew is that I had to go out and GET. "Get" a Job. Get A car. Get a life. Now I have nothing that I went out and got. Every opportunity that I thought I created, I didn't actually create. I received so many gifts that I mishandled, because I didn't realize they were divine gifts. I just thought I was that good, and I deserved it. Boy, Was I greedy and naive.

i know in my heart, that God has always been with me, and I love him for that. Mostly because I have not always been the easiest guy to "always" be around (and I have a few ex-girlfriends that will high five me on that. Thank you God, for opening my eyes and ears.
