Ok, so I have been insanely busy but it is going to calm down for a week before picking back up into light speed. So last night at work I had an awesome night. I made more money than I thought I was going to and had a great time. I did however choose to eat a messed up slice of pizza in the wrong area where I knew I was not supposed to eat, on the clock I might add. Of course I was caught and knew some sort of punishment was coming. I was hoping for just a write up but I am suspended and written up. this write up is my first and final. I did how ever write an email to both of the managers involved apologizing for my direct disobedience.
This is a very bad time for me not to be a able to work. My medical bills for my leg have arrived, my car insurance went up, my truck costs me about a whole lot in gas(but I love my truck), and its snowboard season. I know so far this is depressing but honestly for some reason I feel okay. I know I screwed up and I know its going to be a rough week but I am really excited to see what God is going to do with this.
I am asking anyone who reads this to pray for wisdom and direction for my extra time off. Also where God wants me and what He wants me to do for school/career. I personally have no clue. Lately for the past few months I have felt the tug and pull on my heart to try to go to Biola. I have had a lot of really neat reaffirmations. My Grandfather says don't worry God will take care of it. I have multiple friends there now who say don't worry about the money and just go. My mom talked to a stranger who was a client of hers and she said to her that I am going to go there. My mom said she was really emotional and almost in tears. My name is now in this ladies wallet and she is praying for me. She also said that her and her husband love to sponsor and donate to kids/students to help them. Kinda weird and really cool. If anyone has any words or images that come to mind I would love to here them. I also do not know what I would want to major in. To most people I would seem lost but I do not feel lost. I feel out of control but that is exactly where I want to be. Anyways this feels like a ramble but now I am going to share a couple things from my devotional that I that was so awesome, inspiring, and jest great!
The Lord guards you.
the Lord is the shade that
protects you from the sun.
The sun cannot hurt you durring
the day,
and the moon cannot hurt you
at night.
The Lord will protect you from all
dangers;
he will guard your life.
The Lord will guard you as you
come and go,
both now and forever.
Psalms 121:5-8
The other is this
I WILL WORSHIP
"God, you are with me
and you can help me;
You were with me when I was
taken, and you are with me now.
You strengthen me.
The God I serve is everywhere-
in heaven and earth and the sea,
but he is above them all,
for all live in him:
All were created by him,
and by him only do they remain.
I will worship only the true God;
you will I carry in my heart;
No one on earth shall be able to
separate me from you."
Quirinus of Siscia

Richard,
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be praying for you. Praying for your job, I am assuming that it's True Foods, and praying for favor. I'm praying for what God is doing in your heart and what he will be doing in you during your time off. I love that you find comfort in being under the wing of our Father. That he will direct your steps. Where you are going to go to school and what you are studying- your passions- are align with the Father when you seek him, which you are doing. So, I'm praying for those times specifically.
Your in my wallet, friend.
