now playing: First Day of the Rest of Our Lives – MxPx
So i woke up this morning with Genesis 50:20 going through my head… well, that was the second time i woke up this morning, but it was the time i stayed awake… see, this goes along with something that i guess i never ended up posting, but have written somewhere else that i can no longer access…
the gist of that entry was: be careful what you read… i took note once again that often times, i find that the media that i consume speaks directly into the circumstances that i find myself in… case in point, a few weeks ago, i was reading about Judas Iscariot… and what i learned – because, really what is there to learn about Judas? – was more about how Jesus continued to treat him with respect despite knowing that he would eventually betray Him…
Anyway, i suppose that this morning’s episode ( and i wasn’t even reading in Genesis recently ) has more to do with reassurance than anything else… i mean the deed is done… i’m out the door… i’m officially unemployed for the first time in an extremely long time… and it’s not exactly the most enjoyable feeling right now, but then again, God meant it for good… God means it for good… and that’s all good…
So, pardon my dust, but i’m in the rebuilding stage right now, i’ve lost a lot of files and whatnot, and i’m a little preoccupied, but hopefully this will be a wonderful and productive transitional time… ( and hopefully without the whole prison time ) …
by the way, i’m currently reading In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day by Mark Batterson and it’s about taking risks in life… interesting…
peace… love… bdg…
