Life and the Road we Travel

Heyas all,

Recently I am facing once again an issue of life and death in my family. It is not easy for sure yet, it causes me to wonder about things. Particularly, "Why is it happening to me?," and second "What am I supposed to learn from this (insert any situation here)?" It is puzzling and not cool to say the least. I of course and doing the typically thing of sorta knocking on God's door and saying, "Hey man, why? What did I do this time?" Ya know?

I just keep moving forward as best I can even though it is not easy. I guess the key thing to remember in any tough event, is that we are human not robots. We do cry and that's an OK thing to do. Besides it helps, just try it sometime you'd be amazed.

That's all for now & have a good one! :)

Thoughts

Ever had one of those days were you were just doing your own thing then suddenly something just hit you? No, I'm not talking about a two by four rather just a thought? That happened to me today.....

I was chatting online when my mind wandered back to my previous post here...plus at how I am not quite lining up like I should be... Let me use analogy/word picture to help you out

I have been sitting on a fence with a leg hanging over each side or I have both feet on either side of the yellow lines on a road. The left side being bad and the right side being good. Now we all know that we cannot as God said be either hot or cold (a song comes to mind that sorta fits it). Somehow I have been at least thinking I've been doing both yet that cannot really be. Rather I've been on the left (bad side of the road) and other days I've been on the right (good side). Lately I've been on the bad side more than the good; granted that does not sound cool yet, I have been having fun on the bad side. As with anything, the bad stuff (things we should not do) are the hardest to drop and give up at times. I know how that is friends......


I went to Granger Community Church this past weekend and Dr. Beeson was asking various questions. One had to deal with "Can someone loose his or her salvation?" He responded rather interestingly. He stated that the question was not more about can him/her loose salvation rather from a heart wanting to know basically how far can I go to the edge before I fall off it. He asked us a question which was (and I'm paraphrasing) "Where is your heart pointed? Towards Jesus or as far away as possible?" Let's just say that I was going away and somehow now (today/this weekend whatever) I guess I'm feeling somewhat convicted? Sorta? I'm not entirely sure.....I still am figuring that out.


I know it might seem like I sound down/bummed but I'm not. I'm alive and could be in a totally different part of the world. I just want you to know that I struggle just as you do with life and questions etc. It is part of learning and growing as we travel down the road of life.


Have a good day all. :)

2009 & New Stuff

Hello everyone,

The new year has official started! Woot! So, what does that mean for you? Only you can answer that question. For myself, I have decided to become part of a newsletter team at church. That for me is new. Why? I haven't done much there since I stepped down as Media Director back in May of 2008. I do not know what it all entails nor how things will go. It basically started after speaking with Deb and saying that I should be willing to be part of the solution/help (that is the key thing with numerous church or business realms). I just kept pointing out errors in the newsletter vs saying Hey, I'm detail oriented/ I have some technical skills.

I must admit that is the hardest thing to do nowadays: become part of the solution. It is so much easier to critique or add one's thoughts vs saying I'll get down in the mud and help get this box outta here or whatever. I will say I am not fond of getting into the mud nor wanting to help out at times yet, one must help another or we are all doomed in this life. Jesus stated that rather simply: love God and love your neighbor. Boom done. So you might be thinking, "how does Jesus' command apply to me?" Well, in order to love someone, doesn't that mean you help them out at times? You might give them a ride to work or help them move furniture or even fix a PC. Think about that friends.



Also, my Blog is new. I've added some blogs that I keep an eye on plus I have renamed my blog title. That is new as of this year as well. I hope to keep this blog more up to date then in the past. Plus I am also considering joining part of the Twitter bandwagon though I have not yet made up my mind. Please feel free to send me your thoughts and comments regarding the program.


Have an awesome New Year everyone! :)
