Some of my thoughts for the day.......

Sorry it has been a while since my last post. Things at work have not really been wonderful, and daily life has gotten in the way and has brought many challenges as of late. So I thought I would just sit down now and blog about what is going on. I know if you have read my wife's blog lately you know the kind of personal attack that we have been under. Now, I am not a whiner and one to complain, but as my wife said I have taken this personally and am quite offended by what has been said. I do think what hurts the most is the fact that the ones that have done the talking are ones that we have opened our house and our hearts to. All I will say about the whole situation is I forgive them that have done the talking, and you know who you are, but I do also feel extremely sorry for you because you hurt and messed with God's anointed, and the bible says "do not touch mine anointed". The bible states that is a sin and woe unto the person that does this. Now, this has passed me and I have let it go and let God take it and am looking forward to the future and the excitement that I have for what is going to take place. So now on to something else................................................................
I am excited about our trip to Ft. Jackson South Carolina to see a very close friend of mine named Nathan Bracken. He will be graduating from Army bootcamp and we are very proud of him. Despite everything that goes wrong and haywire, God is still good and he is in control. I can't wait to see what happens over the next few months in regards to my families lives and the path God has for us. Have a good day...............................Until next time....

BE WHAT YOU PROFESS TO BE

One of my biggest pet peeves are people who do not live up to what they profess to be. If you profess to be a christian and are against certain worldly things, DO NOT go back on those things just because you are alone or with a group of people you think are your friends and you think it is OK. YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE EFFECTS YOU HAVE ON PEOPLE'S LIVES, AND TO WHAT STANDARD THEY HOLD YOU UP TO. I don't claim to be anything great, but one thing is for sure, you will never, ever see me do something that I talk against....

ABOVE ANYTHING ELSE, HAVE ENOUGH RESPECT FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR GOD TO STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE AND DO NOT CHANGE A BELIEF JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE WITH FRIENDS.. IT MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A BIG DEAL TO YOU, BUT YOUR SOUL AND YOUR INTEGRITY ARE AT STAKE, AND FOR SOME OF YOU..... YOU HAVE LOST RESPECT FROM ME!!!!!!

DRAMA

So, can anyone tell me why there always has to be drama? Why in everything we do in life is there a way for this little worm that wiggles its way in and its goal is just to start discord, why is it allowed in everything we do? I don't know if it is allowed, but why do we let it show its head and begin to fester? I am so sick and tired of everything we try to do to forward a project, that there always has to be someone that throws a wrench in the process by causing drama. We are about to encounter a situation in a few weeks, where I am sure the drama level is going to increase, and it will be totally up to me to stop it in its tracks. The Manmountain vs. Drama, who will win??

The work day is almost over

Today has not quite been one of those awful days that you wish it had never started, but it has not been one of greatest either. It's been one of those days that tonight when I get in bed I will lay there and think what a total waste of a work day. I don't know what the deal has been this week, but I have had one of the worst attitude problems toward my co-workers and really just anyone that I deal with in general. And now that my day is almost over, I am looking forward to going home. My plans for this evening- Go home and relax, then me and doo-dah will go to bed and watch the basketball game. Now, this may not sound too exciting to you, but this will be one great night. I cannot wait!!!! Hopefully it goes as planned.

My Wonderful Weekend

Well, this past weekend was a real bummer. Friday started off good, work went good and the day flew by. I actually even traded in my car friday for a 2004 Hyundai Sonata. It is a very nice car and I got it for a great price. I just needed something to get me back and forth to work, and this car will be great for that, and it is in good shape and runs like a champ so I am sure I will have the car for a while. Well then the fun began. Friday night I was sitting at the house with my wife and kids, and two of my favorite people, Jeffrey and Danielle. As I was sitting there, I kept dozing off and for the life of me could not keep my eyes open. I felt like I was drugged big time, and then began to get sick to my stomach, so I ended up just going on to bed. I woke up early saturday morning and was very sick to my stomach and had a horrible headache. So needless to say, I woke up the dead as I began to throw up from my toes. If you have ever been around me when I get sick, you know that it is quite the spectacle. So i spent the majority of my weeked sick in bed. I was scheduled to preach sunday night, and I knew this was just a tactic to get me out of preaching. So I tried to take it easy and get to feeling better. So Sunday afternoon rolled around and I got up and ate something and began to feel a little better. So I studied for the sermon and began to feel better and better. I was not at 100% but I wanted to be in church. So of course, church was just amazing. The spirit of God was there in such an amazing and powerful way. The whole service flowed in one direction and the move of God was beyone comparison. God spoke to us and we just had an amazing service. Thank God for the change that he is doing in my life. So, all in all, it was a great weekend.

Just another day......

Today is just another one of them days. Things just seem to coast along, not alot happening and everything just seems to be dull and boring. I do the same things everyday it seems. I do the same things at work almost everyday, in the same way with the same people. Sometimes I just want something different, nothing extreme, but something else. Believe me, I know that complacency is a tactic of the enemy to make you feel not wanted or alone even though people are all around you. It even teeters on the point of depression and loss of self worth. There are so many things that I want to do, but I just don't. I always think, well someone else will do them or that's not my place. But as of this moment right now, I want to make a change in my life and attitude. I want to be the front runner, I want to be the ALPHA MALE if you understand what I mean. I have never had a lot of self confidence or pride in myself and have always felt less than worthy or less than adequate. I know people that have the attitude of they can do anything and they come across conceded or jerks and I don't want to be like that, but I do wish I had more self confidence. I am going to try and change my mindset, I have always been taught you have to dress for the job you want. Basically if you can see yourself doing it in your mind, then you can do it in life. I am going to start "dressing for my new attitude" and change my mindset and become bold and be the man that I want to be. Don't get me wrong, I have an amazing life and God has blessed me beyond compare, but I don't think I am living up to the potential that I could be. So, lets see what happens from here...............................
