I hope you are all ready for this. I finally have my own blog, where I can write about what I want, put up pictures of who I want and be ME! This will be just general things I care about. I'm looking forward to putting my thoughts down in script and of course, showing off Carolyn, Sean and Anne. They will definitely be featured. More than likely, they will be mostly what I talk about. So profound for the first post of many. I try to live by this quote by Jim Rohn, "For things to change, you must change, for you to get better, you must become better." How true. I will try to add a little philosophical phrase to my posts. But really, there is nothing the outside world can do for me to make my life better. As Zig Ziglar talks about money, he says its not the most important thing but its close to oxygen, "when you need it, you need it." "It can buy you a house, but it can't buy you a home." One of the major changes for me was moving to NC. A whole story in itself. But it made me realize that family, however far apart, is very important to me. We never saw one another everyday, in most case not every week, but you knew they were there. But my home is where my heart is. Carolyn and I are doing our best to "rear" our children, (don't you love the southern slang I have now) the way God wants us to. We have to be the examples of Christ for them to follow. Its not easy, but its important, more than that, its a necessity. I really do believe God was in the move. Is it always rosy? NO! Is it perfect? NO! But its God's timing. Success is not a place to come to and say, "I have arrived", but its the journey. Faith in action.
We had an evangelist a few weeks ago that made a statement like, "The cross sometimes gets in the way" WOW! Think about it for awhile. Ok that's long enough. Sometimes God gets right in the middle of our plans and dreams and changes the order of the itinerary. He really does care about where we are and what we are going through. Can we give him the time to bless our lives?
All I can do to make my life better is ........ be better for God. Then everything will fall into place. Thanks for being here and enjoy the ride with me.
