Random Thoughts

Yep that’s right, I am headed back to class in January. Well, I am not going anywhere, I am actually taking online classes. After much research about schools that offered distance learning, I chose Liberty University. I really like what they stand for and am honored to have been accepted to the program. I don’t know how long my degree is going to take yet because they are checking my transcripts to see what if anything will transfer. All I know is that I am excited that I took the first step toward getting an actual degree. I will try and keep you updated after classes begin. My goal here is the same as it was when I attended North Metro, 4.0gpa. I maintained the 4.0 status the entire time I was at NMT and hope to keep it up while taking classes for Liberty. Say a little prayer and let’s get this party started.

This is what I have to ask myself lately. Things have happened and that’s okay, but why do things that should make me happy only piss me off? I am not going into details because that just isn’t who I am. I shall just continue to pray for God to give me strength and wisdom as what I need to do. If something is wrong, then you should let people know what is happening, not let them think all is good. If things are bad then you should let them know just how bad they really are. I know that this post seems really negative, but I just needed an avenue to vent and since this is MY blog that is exactly what I am going. Things were going pretty good at work until just recently and now it is back to the same old crap, just another verse. Today he started with the “I don’t know how much longer we can last” crap. This is not what I wanted to hear while trying to adjust things in my life getting ready to lose the Oak Leaf income. I can’t imagine what the future holds if something happens with my full time job. I have been applying for different jobs like crazy but nothing has materialized as of yet. I know that we shouldn’t question God for the things that happen but it is becoming increasingly hard to not just get down on my knees and scream WHY at the top of my lungs.

Okay it has been a while since the last update but I will try to make it quick and painless. Working at the restaurant has gotten easier the past month, but now some people are starting to act crazy again. Oak Leaf is AMAZING, but due to financial situations, I no longer have a job there. It really SUCKS, that was a HUGE part of my life and my walk with God. I am still gonna help out some, but not in the capacity that I have been, since I was there every chance I had. It has been a hard adjustment for me, and now I have to figure out how to supplement my income. To say we were struggling while I had the extra income would be an understatement, now I have to figure out how to keep from drowning. We will survive somehow, God will take care of us. So there you go, that is my life short and sweet.

I know that people say that all the time, but do they really believe it? I sit and wonder just how many so called Christian just say what they think people want to hear. I know people that act like a God fearing person on the weekend but be some helluns during the week. Let me just tell you that God has been good to us and he has provided for us when we thought there was no way out.
I really wish that more people would trust what God has told them and live each and every moment

Okay, so I know I say this a lot, but I can’t get my mind to shut down sometimes. Saturday night is the worst night of them all because I am so pumped up about OLC and what God is doing there. I am thankful to be able so see it first hand! A few years ago, it is sad to say but I could have cared less what you said about church or going to church. God is mighty and forgiving, I know this first hand. He took me off the path I was leading about humbled me. I didn’t fault him for what happend, but started talking to him on a regular basis and then he led me to Oak Leaf the Sunday after opening weekend. I have been sold out to the vision every since that day. I get excited when it is time to serve on the weekends, and I talk about what God is doing at OLC to anyone that will listen. Right now it is almost 12:30am and I am ready to go !!!!! My prayer is that my passion for God and His church is contagious and that the excitement I feel will rub off on those around me. I am not saying that I do no wrong, but I can say that I am not living like I used too.
