Wow, what a time it has been for me this month. I haven't written anything in a while due to wrong motives and a desire to people please. Also, since i started school on the 2nd of March this has added some more responsibility to my plate so I thank you for your patience.
So, here is the skinny on my emotions now and during this time of absence. I have been discouraged because I have never been out of work this long since joining the work force in 1988. I was having trouble believing in Gods promises during this time of testing. I was lying to myself about how I was doing because I wasn't taking time to examine myself. My bible reading was awesome but the heart connection was lacking and so was prayer.
I got some advice and was asked to do something to move Gods heart so I arranged a 10 hour prayer night that really changed things for my walk with God. A lot of folks came to support this effort and it was and continues to be very inspiring. since that night I have been on several job interviews and more continue to come. i also got open about specific sin's in my life that I felt would condemn me if God were to come and take me home for judgment.
I will share what that sin is in person if you are interested. Also my faith was strengthened because I don't have to carry that baggage around any longer. God has and is still working his magic in my heart and life. Thank you for praying for our family and continue to pray for me to see God's will for my life!
Philippians 1:9-11 give me new direction for my life!

Flawless
How often do I think of God as Flawless? I am poised to think of how often i negate Gods power and majesty when I see his qualities in the bible. God is awesome and deserves the utmost respect from me and I need to always trust that he is righteous and will deliver me no matter what state of life I am in.
Proverbs 30:5 tells me that my refuge should be in God all the time and there is no safer place for me to be. I forget that when I am waking up in the mornings and later in the day when life comes at me. I need to know and be reassured from the scriptures that He is there and all I have to do is reach out to him in prayer and fullness of heart.
God forgive me for not seeing how flawless you are, for forsaking the truth that you are with me always. guide my heart to understand that nothing in this world happens without your hand upon it. Guide my mind to take refuge in you when I feel down or discouraged. Grant me the ability to trust you completely with my life and hold me close to your bosom. May your loving arms protect me and your wisdom guide me.
