I guess since "everyone is doing it" maybe I should jump in and join the blogosphere yet again. However, I decided to write my own blog engine, and through the process of actually blogging, I'll develop and improve the code until it's actually usable.
Life right now has become a tenuous waiting game, waiting for the phone to ring with news of my clearance being issued with accompanying start date. Till then, I go everyday to work at a job that I could be giving my two weeks notice to at any date. However right now, I find that I'm more or less, working my butt off, since I'm working for God not the company (even though they're nice enough to pay me). So I find that I'm flying through work, working extremely hard, only to get more work piled on top as soon as I finish. For example, today I called off since I woke up to a fit of vertigo and nausea, by quitting time after working for an hour on project plan, I had 4 more assignments for to add to the giant project I'm already working on. That's what I get for doing everything for the glory of God despite the circumstances. Many would slow down to the point of barely working while waiting to give their two weeks, but my love for God has me working harder than I have in the 10 months I've worked there.
Also, I'm less than a week away from starting a Life Group (or Bible Study/Small Group) with my wife Jaime. We've been asked to lead on so we jumped on the idea, since we've been largely dormant in serving since the birth of our daughters. I'm getting a little nervous about teaching each week at a Bible Study, since I'm not exactly one who does that kinda stuff...then again before last June I could say I'm not exactly the kinda guy that preaches sermons either, but God stretched me there too. The more I think about it the more God comes back with this verse:
*
"They couldn't take their eyes off
them—Peter and John standing there so
confident, so sure of themselves!
Their fascination deepened when they
realized these two were laymen with no
training in Scripture or formal
education. They recognized them as
companions of Jesus" (Acts 4:13 Msg).
*
The part that God's been hammering in is, no formal education is needed, time with Jesus is. Therefore I'm gonna just spend some time chilling with Jesus this week, and allow that time hanging out with the guy who wrote those same scriptures allow me to understand them well enough to "teach them", to our group no matter how big or small that group ends up being.
