Life's unexpected turns

  Well, Today has just been one of those days where you feel like it's just not going to turn out well.. but I am still trusting the Lord with every situation.
  Today I tried to get a hold of the lady that I am waiting to hear back for my job next year. Well, she called me back and told me that for now things are not going to work out. The reason is they needed someone for the summer, and this girl already lives in Nashville. But if for some reason she doesn't work out they will give me a call...

  So.. let's just say things are kind of at a stand-still. I'm not sure what to do at this moment other then try again. I know that the Lord has called me to Nashville. Now i just have to decide if I'm going to allow one setback to totally set me back from where the Lord has called me to.
  So.. if you are reading this I ask for your prayers. I know this is where the Lord wants me. He is the one directing my path.

Knowing the value of family

  Many of you know that recently there have been a lot of bad weather hit in several different area's around the US. I think sometimes in the US we see all the tragedy happening in other parts of the world and we think that could never happen to us. And now we are seeing these things happen in our own neighborhoods.
  I recently had a phone conversation with my mom and she told me that my brother's house was partially destroyed by the tornado. Almost the entire roof was taken off of his house. Thankfully he was not home when this happened. Thank God he wasn't home.. Really. I was just sitting here thinking about it, and a part of me wants to weep. My brother could have been in the number of those dead from the storm damage. I thank God for the things that made it seem that it was taking too much time. because of that my brother is still alive.
  Some and read this and think I'm making too big of a deal about this... but i assure you i am not. It is by the Lord's grace alone that my brother is still here.

Please be in prayer though.. the rebuilding process will be difficult. Pray that my brother would see the grace of the Lord on his life and truly come to know Him.

Let's give this a go..

So, this is not my first time attempting to write a blog. You know, the craze with xanga and other blog sites. Been there, done that.. made about 2 posts, then forgot about having it. So, all of that to say that I hope to keep up on this and actually write something every once and a while.

I know this first post isn't much to look at.. but maybe in a few days I'll have something else up.
Until then.. enjoy your day. :)
