Inside My Closet (Day 532)

I'm writing this one a little differently today. It's in the form of a prayer. A prayer of thanks. I used to be afraid of praying because I thought the words had to be perfect. When I realized all I had to do was close my eyes, realize it was just me and God, and speak through my heart, praying got a whole lot easier. And for some reason I don't feel like talking about the blessings is enough. My heart is overwhelmed with praise and the only way I can find to be the most true in my thankfulness is through an honest prayer. It's a little nerve-racking letting you see this side of me. It's a side I hide. It's a side only God gets to see. It's me at my most vulnerable. But I feel called to share it and if it's meant to bring Him glory and to bring people to Christ then I will do what needs to be done.

Wednesday to Saturday (Day 113-116)

It's been a few days, but this time it's thankfully not because my heart ran dry. I was just so busy praising God and trying to glorify Him through my life! I've been relishing in all of the crazy ways God has worked over the past few days as I've seen my path unfold before me.

Fortunes (Day 511/512)

Two days have past since my last post and both days have been surprising. I had my interview at Jenks High School yesterday. Honestly, I went in blind. I didn't really know what the job entailed, I just knew it was a position at the high school and that's where I wanted to be. It had the words media, computers, printing, and books in the description so I thought with my graphic design skills and my love of books I'd try it out. The worst that could happen is I would go in for an interview and they wouldn't like me. Well that didn't quite happen that way.

Harsh Realities? (Day 510)

Once again I was given the chance to mold my swimmers. These chances keep on popping up as if I've been in continuous prayer for them... (Hope you caught what I'm hinting at right there.)

What a Day (Day 509)

It's a good day when you bring a kid from tears to smiles. And it's a good day when you see a kid you've trained finally get that time she's been chasing after. And it's a really good day when you see your high schoolers come together and support something you want to start.

Questions (Day 507)

My normal routine is to write in my blog every evening but since most July 4th activities happen once the sun goes down I'm forced to write about yesterday today. After spending time in the Word I felt moved to pick up Forgotten God again. My questions were posed in the four chapters I read and they sent me on a journey I wasn't expecting to take.

Found My Heart (Day 506)

The first sentence of a blog post is always the hardest to find. It's the statement that keeps people or sends them on. Today I don't have a first sentence, I just have a message. It has been a month since I posted anything as you can tell by the previous date stamp. I could blame work, but what's the point, we all know if I really wanted to make time I would. This blog has sat idle for a month because the author's heart was idle. Really, it had been more than a month but I tried to keep up the passion I once had. It was when I found myself faking too many of the words I used to express about Jesus that I just decide to call it quits. The blog fell back into the recesses of my mind and after awhile I thought it was a lost cause.
