Welcome back me :)

 It's been an amazingly long time since I've written to you, you being...well whoever or no one I guess.  Not many people read these things anymore, but I've learned that for me writing is up utmost importance.  So here it goes...I've been back in the lower 48 for almost a year now and I'm happy.  It's been a rough transition but things are settling out a little.  I have a job I love almost every day and good friends that make me smile.  I think that's about all for now but its great to be back.

Enjoy the journey!

So today

I've been pretty silent for quite some time and mainly it's because I've had nothing of any worth to say.  Now for some reading you might still think what I have to say is of little worth, but here goes anyway.

Today I waited and waited for a phone call or email about a job.  I literally sat on the couch and watched tv and waited.  It was the worst use of a day in the history my days.  I worried and fretted over something I have no control over.  I obsessed and analysed the emails I've gotten from this prospective employer. 

Then tonight I went to a concert...nothing out of the ordinary for a concert at SBU.  At the end of the concert we sang a reletively old worship song called Holy and Anointed (I think).  The words are:

Jesus, Jesus

Holy and Anointed One

Jesus

Your Name is like honey on my lips

Your Spirit like water to my soul

Your Word is a lamp unto my feet.

Jesus I love you, I love you

Jesus, Jesus

Risen and Exalted One

Jesus

So, your thinking, big deal.  Well, it was a big deal to me tonight.  I was reminded that today and most of the other days I've lived in the past 2 months have been completely about me.  There is something wrong.   As the Lord was reminding me tonight that there is a lot to give.  That I've lived life and should be actively sharing that with people around me.  Lord willing, gone are the days of sitting on the couch and thinking only of myself.  The job the Lord is going to give me is not going to come any sooner if I sit and wait and worry.  Tomorrow is a new day and I can't wait to be a part of what the Lord has for it. 

Father- You are glorious and beautiful!  Your Name is above all names.  You hold all things together and I can trust Your will for my journey.  Thank you Father for your character and how you continually pull me back into what you have for me.  You, my precious Lord amaze me.  Help me to always see and be watching for Your movement in and around me.  Amen and Amen

Long time, no post

Hi everyone.  It's been some time and I can tell you why.  I've been in Missouri for 7 weeks and nothing has really happened.  I still don't have a job, despite trying and trying.  Church and friends are amazing.  I've spent a lot of time with friends.  But my heart desires to be on to the next step.  I've never been unemployeed for this long before and I'm ready for something new.  Not much to report but here is what I have.  Grace and Peace!

Can I just say that my Grandmother is so cool.  I called my dad yesterday and he, along with his brother, were taking my Grandmother to Hayes for the next semester.  She is moving into the student apartments she lived in last year.  I'm not sure what masters she is going for, but I'm sure she will keep everyone informed. 

I remember when I moved to college, my dad said, I couldn't take anything more than would fit in my car.  But he let Grandmother take enough stuff to fill 2 pickups and her car.  I think that's pretty sweet.

Grandmother, I'm praying for you this semester. 

 

Grace and Peace

A break from the trip home...

So, the past few blogs have been about the trip home from Alaska but I would like to pause for a minute and let the world know how thankful I am for Christian community and it's expression through friends and family. Tonight the women of Living Stones got together just like they normally do and prayed for each other.  It was real, we didn't talk about everyone's 3rd cosin removed who has a friend that sprained their ankle.  It's real life and precious requests that paint the beauty of life mixed with the pain of life.  Father I'm thankful for my sisters and their faithfulness to You in prayer and encouragement.  I ask You tonight Father to remind me of my sisters needs and praises.  Help me not to fall asleep on them.  Amen and Amen
