Just a word or three thousand....
No, nothing that long. Just checking in so my friends aren't worried.
I've had a blessed week. Things have fallen into place regarding my financial situation that I never saw coming, and those are the blessings I've been talking about. Nothing I want to share, news wise, but my financial picture is looking rosy for the first time in a year and I'm actually able to live up to a biblical instruction to pay what you owe. The reasons for this turn-around I credit to God's mercy and grace!
To answer the question, what did my mother give me? The gift my mother gave me on Mother's Day was some sound advice regarding this huge moral dilemma I have. I kid you not, just the very next day, BBN Radio sent me a little pamphlet called "The Discipline of Dilemma." The point of the pamphlet, very simply, is when you're faced with dilemmas, follow God's word. 50% of the people involved in the dilemma are willing to listen to God's Word and follow His will. The other 50%, well, she doesn't see things the way I do but I'm praying for God's will to prevail. It's hard being forced to do something you know in your heart is wrong, but at this point, there is little I can do except respond in the best way I can find and have faith that God's will be done.
In this time, I'm getting to build on my relationship with Christ. I've been very blessed and shown that if I trust in Jesus, that I need not worry through the day. I'm building on that relationship and like I said before, things are transpiring well for me and building a better pathway for the future.
I took some time from the blog to just remember how to enjoy some good things happening in my life. That's why I've been quiet.
I have great friends and I just want to say one more thing... I have an amazing support system if things get to the point I cannot handle them. I have a great program through my job if I need it, a very supportive pastor, and the best friends a man could ever have. When I don't do or say dumb stuff and profess and demonstrate a willingness to apply the things I learn from growing closer to God, my life gets easier. It's only when things go south and I don't apply those truths, that things get rough. I stumbled last week but by this week, that event is merely a reminder to not be that way again. I believe the Lord has me walking on a path with HIm that He wants me on. Random has been in high gear and always the same message. I just need 50% of the people involved with the dilemma to trust in Him.
That's it. I know it's not Monday of next week, but I kinda get the impression that some get a little worried when I get quiet. I'm fine. Just busy, working a lot, and remembering how to enjoy life when the good things happen.
