how about an update..

What a week.. nuff said! what a week.. Oh the stress was killing me, thank God it's the weekend. This past week i have been in a state of thinking... where is God placing me this very second in my life?? Like i always say, God is working in my life using me as clay molding me into the man that he wants me to be. It's hard to see what the outcome is.. im quit aware of that.. BUT prayer works! I have prayed and prayed that things will work out according to his will. When you know what he wants you to do, it hits you like a ton of bricks! i know this for a fact! I found myself praying what i thought was best..... turns out he had a far more bigger plan than i realized. I know what i want, BUT is that what God wants for me? Turns out that i took time to realize, and BAM i got what ive been praying for.. it's like when you know something is right... well you know it. I guess this only makes sence to me, but thats ok ha. I had thoughts about getting in the same routine, and going into the same motions not knowing if i would be happy in the end.. So i took a chance and saw that everything was worth it..
Anyways tonight was a great night. went to the barons game with the family. it was red diamond night and we got in for free, free hats, food, all that good stuff.. not to mention dad won $50.. ahh so proud, so proud. top it off with some fireworks in the end. which made for a great night. What i know is that God listens and is far more bigger than me and my plans! till then H.I.B

praise God for His sovreignty, eh? i'm glad to hear you are doing well- flourishing, even! all i can say, contrite and cliche as it may sound, is to keep praying. prayer is seriously one of the greatest and most neglected tools God gives us. anyway, glad you posted. hope to see you soon!

To me, not praying is kind of like ....not talking to that old friend for awhile. You seem to grow apart and have too much ground to cover when you finally do see each other.
Prayer keeps our thoughts on God. Prayer keeps us humbled before God. And maybe most important, prayer keeps us DEPENDANT on God. All of these are part of enjoying and glorifying God, which is our purpose. H.I.B. homey.
