In Just a Little While

I al-freaking-most have a plan.  Almost have a job.  Almost have all the resources figured out.
Know what?  That is actually amazing.  Plan is easy.  Job is hard. Resources have been near impossible and all of the sudden they have started to pile up.  I am not exactly sponsoring a village in Africa yet, but I might have more than a hundred bucks in my savings account for a change.  Might have get CD or something.
Dear Lord!  This is too normal.  Maybe I need to find another wagon, white bread guy, and 2.5 kids and join the masses of SPU grads of 2001.  Or not! =)  I am so, so grateful a slight grade of downhill.  I can't tell you.  I got a little gusto left, but this downhill gives me a good blood sugar boost.

Funny how circumstances can turn good, bad, perfect, horrible and chill within such a short amount of time.  God take me thru it all and help me make the best in each situation.

For now, I will cautiously proceed and pray for a the last miracle.  A job.  Something I can't quite give myself right now.  Verse I am hanging onto this week.  Its in Hebrews.  You know, that book is a little severe.  Its actually Paul delivering news and a bit of education to the Hebrews on life in Christ.  They had lived a long time in serving God, but at such a distance.  This was a pretty big switch and I can imagine they were afraid of change.  Like me. =)

 Hebrews 10: 32-39
 32 Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you endured in a great conflict full of suffering. 33 Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. 34 You suffered along with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. 35 So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.
 36 You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. 37For,
   “In just a little while,
   he who is coming will come
   and will not delay.”[f]
 38 And,
   “But my righteous[g] one will live by faith.
   And I take no pleasure
   in the one who shrinks back.”[h]

39 But we do not belong to those who shrink back and are destroyed, but to those who have faith and are saved.


Thank you Lord!

I promise to write more.  I need more therapy. =)

Here is a little teaser from Ireland:
me and b at the top of blarney castle.  which btw, was one of the coolest things we did. rick steves vehemently recommended you not go.  we did not listen. =)

B kissing the Blarney Stone with fervor.  There might have been some French in his kiss.  Then he asked for some alcohol for his lips.  haha!
Less French, more laughing.  The older man at right was making all kinds of cracks.  
ancient blarney castle built into the rock.  if you look close, there is a seam down the middle.
