Well it has been three months since I started my new job. And all I can say is I am glad God is in-charge of my life making the decisions, and not me. A little more than three months ago my life was in turmoil and I though I was losing the best job I ever had. Man was I wrong. I am happier, more fullfilled, more rested, feel like I am making more of a difference in the world, and God has seen fit...

I do not understand why people always try to define and confine God, or box Him in based off of their limited understanding of Him and what he can/will do based off what they think they know of God. God is God. He is all-knowing,all-powerful, omni-present. He always was and always will be. He is infinite God that we try to define and understand with finite minds....it does and will not work. When...

What an interesting few weeks. All of the highs and lows were amazing. Six months ago I was talking to my parents and wife and was not sure that my current job was where I wanted to be or it was where God wanted me to be. I was making great money, but was working, and this is not an exaggeration, between 3000 and 4000 hours a year; and though my job was fulfilling, I was not sure this was what/where...

I just recently lost my six figure job, and I am not sure what God is trying to teach me through this. I never thought that I was conceited or arrogant or took credit for what happened in my life. I was/am proud of what I do/did. I pray for God's will in my life, and for God to reveal His plan for my life, but I am still not sure what all of this is suppossed to be teaching me....yes, yes I know rely...

Well that was a nice punch to the gut today. I do not know what God has planned for my life, obviously it was not to stay employed at my job, curious....Well we will see what happens, God will provide, I know that for a fact. I just do not understand why He allowed this to happen, no clue. I am not bitter, angry or anything like that, just confused. I do not know what He has planned for me, I will...

I was reading through The Gospel of John today as part of my daily devotional and was struck by the prayer promises that Jesus makes. Three different times in the passage Jesus promises,(1) Ask in my name and I will do it, Unitl now you have not asked for anything in my name. (2) Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete, (3) I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you...

As I wait for the two o'clock hour to approach today, I look back on my life in the past week. I went from being on top of the world last week, albeit a little sick, as I had the flu; too being as low as I have ever been, questions and doubts fill my mind. I do not understand why God allows certain things to come into our lives that feel like a sucker punch to the guts. What have I done to diserve...

Is there a difference in assuming God is going to or will answer our prayers vs having faith that He is going to or will answer our prayers. I do not know. Is there a danger in just assuming that God will answer our prayers? Does God answer a prayer more if you pray more about it, or is once good enough, here goes the whole faith vs assumption again. I do not know, just more stuff going through my...

I know that God allows certain things/events to happen in our lives, tempered by fire, whatever you want to call it. I also know that He will not allow things to happen to us that we cannot bear, or think we cannot bear; but man the weight and enormity of what I am going through with my Job is devestating me! I know that God will provide and care for me and my family reguardless of what happens; inetectually,...
