Snow White

I love snow and ice. I love the challenge of driving in the snow.

I am not working these days, (which will be changing come Feb 9th, God willing). And today Andy was off work as well. I love having this man around. Why you ask, because he is a complete joy to be around. Now we have our differences and disagreements, but he is a wonderful friend. A good friend, a truly great friend will bring life to your bones.

Today he and I took several trips out and about. Taco Buano served as a lunch and Braum's gave us some desert. Andy and I are the crazy people who like Braum's yogurt ice cream late at night.

How much of our life is prescript ed in our heads? I heard a teaching today that said religious people tend to not recognize Jesus in everyday life because they already have a script for their day. Ice and snow remove the script. These are good days to have the scripts changed up a bit.

Remove the scripts and see Jesus in new lights.

Door closed, Door OPEN

So, I have resigned from Devon, (and I smile). I worked for Devon for two years. That is the longest I have ever worked for any organization.



Just this week Devon was named the 13th best company to work for. I just left the 13th best company to work for, by Fortune's standards. But what about my standards? It doesn't hit quite as high.



I haven't been working for almost a month and a half now. That is the longest I have ever not worked. And what I have come to understand is that I really haven't missed it.



So what have I missed? Passion. Plainly put, I have missed having a Passion about life and work. It was like my heart couldn't go any more. For two years I have been working in a job that I don't like. I changed half way through, but still nothing. I pressed on for two reasons, MONEY and PARENTS.



Notice Jesus is not in there any where. Laura is not in there anywhere. Now I know that lots of people hate their jobs. I know that most people in this world have no Passion, but for some reason only God knows, it really took a toll on my body, heart and health to stay.


But Jesus is good. He renews your heart and mind. He promises to be all that I need, to give me all that I need. He promises to be my right hand, forgiveness of sin, of Restoration and for joy to by my strength.



Pressing on toward the goal. Pressing on!

The days of Interest

These last few months have been really stretching. I have had to open my thoughts to a lot of people for help and advice. When you are 26 years old this can be very difficult. But, hey when you really think about it, it is hard for any age.

I want a teach able heart. 12 Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge. Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding.

Wisdom is to work hard in life, to love God shown through obedience, to not love money and to love your neighbor. (not in that order :)

The good things in life, like joy and peace, patience, these are the things of my interest. I want them with all my heart. I want the Holy Spirit. I want His Fruit. These are my interest.
