Still Working

 

Nothing is moving forward quickly but things are moving and I am trying to enjoy the process. This past year or two has been something of an eyeopener in regards to human nature and the idea of truth and honesty. I found myself in a couple situations that were not expected or wanted but they have reminded me directly about how people can make choices, give or withhold information with intention and the results of said choices or info. 

Without getting into the details or specifics let's just say it's personal and has affected my life and the direction of my future plans. It might be a direct cause for the revamping of my desire to write publicly about my life again. Thinking my silly life or my ideas about it all might help, affect, encourage others to improve their lives, seek help and or give ideas for such is the main goal of it all. I've found that in life sometimes we come across people, ideas or thoughts in random ways and it can affect change in our lives and quite possibly those around us. One could say that God works in mysterious ways and yes, this whole new season is in direct relation to Him and what He wants for my life, or what is left of it anyway...

To say that I have found my way back to my faith is an understatement. I have been praying for years and years that my two children will find their way to Jesus and their personal walk with Him. Being that I was married to a wonderful lady for almost 20 years who was not interested in having a relationship with Him I always found it hard to try and introduce Him to my kids. I did though, I tried many times in my own way and thought for all these years that I had been a failure. A couple years ago my daughter got married and at her wedding reception my son told me he had found his way and was studying about Him. A few weeks later I found out that my daughter and her husband were also investigating Him and starting their own walk.... Huge!

I did not expect any of that and it gave me so much joy! It was like the best news I had ever heard in my entire life, was life changing for me and I would expect for them as well. We have not talked all that much about it together but I have had many talks with my son and that has brought so much light into my simple life that it's hard to describe in words. The relationship we have with the Lord is so personal and important that just hearing your kids are entering into that relationship is unreal and soul lifting. I can't imagine not having that relationship myself and even though I'm a sinner like everyone else it gives me hope that He can reach anyone, anytime, anyplace and we are all His. As a Christian father, hearing that your kids are finding their way is the biggest gift one can receive and hearing it was just that. Praise be!

Anyway, I'm going to do my level best to continue to push forward everyday with humility in my new season, in a quiet but steady way that hopefully will help anyone that stumbles across my ideas and writing. We all need some help in this life that's for sure and if I can do that for anyone though this it will be all worth it in the end. Take care world and peace be with you...
