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.

Acts of Kindness (Day 449)

It was a dreadful day at the restaurant. I was upset with my coworkers, the guy I was training, and pretty much everything else. But just a few minutes ago as I was reflecting on my day with God, my heart was nudged by something I had done.

All We Have To Do Is Ask (Day 443)

Sometimes I find myself caught up in a difficult day and sometimes I just need to know I'm loved. Today turned out to be one of those days and as I was driving to work I asked God to show me He loved me. I know for a fact He does, I just wanted to see it today. I hoped for something that would hit the cords of my heart perfectly. I wanted that love letter that made me feel pursued. Whenever I ask Him for this sweet little gesture, I never know what to expect. Sometimes it's something simple like taking a backroad and seeing something unexpected, sometimes it's in an unexpected event that turns out in my favor, but most of the time it's words from another person. It's words you don't hear everyday. Ones that you didn't really know were true about you. God knows that I love to hear what He and others think about me and He gave me just that.
