Two Years Later

Can't believe it's been two years already.  Time flies by when your focus is off.  Tonight I was going through some old files and found a blog I never posted a few years ago, and believe it or not I did exactly what I said I should not do.  That is going back to the service industry.  I made exactly what I said I would, but money is not everything.  I did have fun running a small wine bar and meeting many new people in the Gayberhood of Oak Lawn in Dallas Texas.  Some good and some a bit off, but that's anywhere you go.  I've strayed off from my calling over the past two years, but there again I spent 9 years full time, 7 day's a week doing church/ministry.  I have had many people tell me there is no such thing as full time ministry, and my response is "Shit, guess you haven't worked for R.O. then..."

Through all this I have been through so much good and bad, but out of it all I have found one true thing that has rekindled the fire in my heart.

When I finally got sick and tired of failed relationships I quit looking,  and when I did I found Shane.
I can truly say, I don't think I have ever been this happy with someone ever.  Are we perfect? By no means are we, but we communicate.  It doesn't always come freely, I sometimes have to work it out of him. In the end of the day, the work is so worth it.  I have never had anything in life given to me that didn't need constant attention to keep it working.  Wether a car, pet, house, relationship.  It all takes work, it is up to us to decide what we want to put into it.
Although relationships are not cars, they do require daily maintenance.  Same thing goes for our faith.  Faith without works is dead.

  Patience is they key.  I've come to learn that; “Impatience is not only a mark of immaturity and unbelief, but it is a mark of fleshly living.” Excerpt From: Wiersbe, Warren. “The Strategy of Satan.” Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., 2011-12-15. iBooks.  Blending two different lived together is never easy, but with perseverance, patience, and a few other key fruits it can be done.   The only differences we have is 17 years.  Yes it makes a relationship difficult, and many times I forget that there is that age gap between us.  On the plus side,we've almost reached one year, and it has been difficult and rough. Worth every moment.      A Better Beginning  A night stroll around Dallas, babe looking for abandoned places.  This one was quite an interesting find.

Day 23 of 40

Today's Chapter is "How We Grow". From the book ; The Purpose Driven Life, by Rick Warren. "The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel influences the way you act." For me, that directly interfears which the 100 children in my after school program.  I learned first hand how my attitude and feelings were being watched a lot more than ya think.  All hundred see everything, and just like they do with their parents, they absorb a small part of your life style. You just think they aren't listening!!

Revealing God's Plan

“Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20) In fact our citizenship is now in heaven (Philippians 3:20). We are in the world, but not of the world. We are now born from above, from God. But God has us here as his representatives, his ambassadors. As ambassadors, we are not doing our own business, but the business of heaven. As ambassadors for Christ, we should be speaking for God, not for ourselves. We should be speaking accurately in Christ’s name (Luke 24:47;Colossians 3:17; 1 Peter 4:11; Isaiah 59:21). Our mission is to work with God to bring rebels to the place where they will obey the gospel. All men are rebels by nature and need a radical change if they are going to have any eternal future with God. The old must go, the new must come (2 Corinthians 5:17). As I stare off into the mountains only one thing comes to mind," Lord, what direction are
