Okay. What do you say? This whole thing is being dictated and typed by my beloved. It has been almost 6 months since my last super-blog. You wonder, really, what it is that we are doing here on earth. As a Christian, life has a series of trials, humor, and unexpected turns and twists. It is nothing short of awesome what God has done in these last six months. . . (dramatic pause) I mean, how is it that someone as limited in resources personally and spiritually can see some of the things that seem to be unfolding in our lives. Why does God choose to show His goodness to people who really are just trying to get through the day? Do we seek Him? Do we cry out? Are we doing anything that allows or opens a way for the goodness of God to pour out and to invade our day to day existence? All I can say is, yes, you are a merciful God. How do you explain that I did not know my wife a year ago? In fact, we only met last January, and now, our lives and the impact we are having upon our children is going to effect generations to come. . . (ponder . . .)

You know, inside your heart there might be some small area that there is an optimism or a last ditch hope that just doesn't seem to go away no matter how irrational it seems. Yet the fact remains - there it is. What is that? Why is that? I guess it is a breakthrough of the Holy Spirit within us. You know, King David described it like this: "Who am I and what is my household that you would bless me in such a way?" Truly there are so many examples of the goodness of God in our lives. Here is one: before our youngest son was born, (I am being corrected as I am dictating to my loving wife ... ha ha ha) I saw him in a vision or a dream leading worship as a man and strongly felt this was the call upon his life. Three years later, his grandma bought him a real guitar (to replace his, basically, completely worn out ukulele which he would tell you earnestly was a guitar). This impacted my heart in such a deep way that this would happen, three years AFTER God revealed it to my heart - and now it's so obvious that this is his calling. We just can not imagine the beautiful plan that God has... GOD has for us.

You know, (I know I use "you know" a lot)... I hope that this is an encouragement to my one and only faithful follower. Just kidding. The power and reality of the heart of God: Three and 1/4 years ago I was on welfare, raising an almost newborn and 1 year old by myself. I could not see even a half an hour ahead in my life. Now, God has brought me to a point of trusting His faithfulness and as it says in the Word, His Name is worthy of our trust (possibly Psalm 34 - check for yourself). Now in the company that I work for, I am recognized as one of the best in making national dials to billion dollar corporations. How did this happen? I honor God. He ALONE promotes us, this has been a hard lesson - not to promote myself but to allow Him in His time, to break through in ways I wouldn't ever expect.

Reading God’s word today, 2 Chronicles talking about Hezekiah and how God drew himself away from Hezekiah in order to see what was truly in his heart. Wow now I am beginning to understand who God is….Now some things are starting to fall into place.
Killer weather outside, up early today…Life is all about choices…A choice to be awake earlier etc….The choices we make now determine our future, sometimes we will get second chances…but other times not so much. We truly can miss opportunities to do things in our lives either through disobedience or complacency. Living God do not let
Me or my family miss these opportunities…The defining of our character is in direct relation to the choices we make : for example disciplining our children; If I just say oh that’s okay when they misbehave or oh isn’t that cute the way he or she says “no”….MAN am I asking for it! But if I ask the child address it and see them understand and grow again my character is changed for the better. But if I find it as inconvenient to
address the issue with my child then I am propagating laziness and rebellion. Which in my core is lazy but also fearful to act. How about the future disrespect from your children due to these actions? God let my heart be set towards you today fully. God show me the areas that my heart is not making right choices and please change them!

Power?

Alright now I am all over with being a rookblogr.
This is my 2nd entry now it all seems to be “old hat”.
You know the big question I have is when do we really die to the flesh?
I mean just in the last 48 hours how many times have I found myself being defensive
And trying to justify a stronghold in my heart! I am amazed how the flesh our soul, our insidiousness nature, my own choices contradict Christianity. One time I learned a lesson from the Father, Hes said, “You have no excuse” I was angry when God said this to me do you not know what the other person did or acted etc…again the Father said “You have no excuse”. What I am still learning is if we want to live and allow Christ to live in us we must completely surrender our rights to defend ourselves, and not to be offended when situations arise that would in most people’s eyes give you this right. When we accepted Christ , we surrendered our own will to do His will.Sometimes things are heavy ya know, but mostly things are spectac. What is our purpose?Do we all want to follow someonelse or be followed by others? What truly are we doing with our lives? I am married have two awesome young children, but truly what is it that God will do with our lives?It is so unclear, yet we go on choosing to love him.Now I am going back to typing from home
Row instead of finger pecking…going to slow me down but hey you only live once.
Wow what an incredible journey life is. Why are some people’s live’s so obscure or misunderstood yet have profound influence in their future mostly after they have passed away God if that is what you want for us so be it.Smokin hot weather just realized we h ad the switch off for the central air, so basically we were having to deal with conditions around us that we actually had complete control to change our circumstances yet were
Unaware of the power we possessed.Lord what other areas are we not wielding all of our power or authority?

Newbie
