| The events of life are so amusing to me. I show up to work to find out that one person is no longer able to work the night shift another one quite and so there is one individual that is going to be expected to work all the call 7 days a week along with the normal shift they are expected to do. How amazing is that. Yet I sit here day after day wondering what I should try and do next to stay busy? Irony I think so. On top of that there are also changes going on behind the scenes with my job that no one really knows about but many rumors are flying. I think God understood what He was doing when He told us to not worry about tomorrow and to speak the truth out of our mouth not talking out of two sides. I am sure thankful that He is in control and I don’t have to figure it all out.
I think there is a lot to be said for quality leadership. Leaders shape the face of all that is accomplished by those under them. They have the ability to organize and advance or shrink and struggle. I have learned that I want to be in leadership or I want to be associated with individuals who have success. Not because they are then successful but because success is related to leadership.
Yesterday I got some great news. I was called from the PA school in Montana and offered a position in their program starting in July. I have been waiting so long to have a direction to go I am utterly amazed. I am still going to finish all my applications but have this feeling in the back of my mind that ultimately I am going to end up in Billings. The amount of stress relief is great. I finally have a direction to go. I don’t know what it will look like, I don’t now where we will live, I don’t even know how hard it is going to be or what sort of job I will end up with when it is all done but I do know that my desire to work in the medical field is one step closer then I have seen for several years. I don’t know that I can even express my emotions towards this event. I do know that I am blessed and taken care of by my Father who has had a plan since the beginning.
That being said I think I can endure this job until then although a little more excitement would be nice. Until next time.

Today is one of those days that you don’t really want to be
at work and there are several things that you don’t want to do but probably
should do. One of those glorious days
that we used to have back in Seattle
when it would snow like 1 inch and they would close school for the day, an unexpected
day off to enjoy life. We don’t seem to
have those days here in the Great State of Wyoming and it did not snow last
night anyway but I still sort of feel like just hanging out and not doing
anything.
I finished the old testament this morning. That was cool. I have been working on it
steadily since the beginning of the school year but it was a project started
about a full calendar year ago. I have
never sat down and read it from beginning to end. It was cool to look at he pieces of the minor
prophets that fit together and compare those with some of this history that I have
been getting out of the YVBI class. It
is amazing to see the challenges that the people of Israel
went through and how each piece fits together to further God’s plan in sending
his son to complete the Kingdom
of God.
I am also in awe by the same faithfulness that we are shown
in our lives each and everyday. Whether it is me screwing up in my relationship
with Amy because I am selfish and inconsiderate or just the mental games that
go on in my brain on a daily basis. I
realize that my heart is not at all close to the point that I want it to
be. I was thinking about Paul this
morning and how he was such an amazing man of faith that stood against all
things. For a moment I thought O maybe I
could do that. Then looking at it again I
realized how crazy that is. I have so
much to learn and so much to work on yet God stands at my side encouraging and
pushing me onward to reach the goal that He has set before me.
Well back to work.

|  So this is the first one of these that i have done but based on the time that other people around the world spend doing this I thought I would give it a try. Today I woke up at the normal time of 600 and decided that it must have snowed and that was going t be great. I then went upstairs to read some of my devotions. I am almost done with the old testament very exciting. I realized that the minor prophets are full of profetic words about who knows what but it is cool to see that God wants to speak to us. I once had a teacher that told me that God did not speak to people through visions. I think that she must have never read any of the minor prophets. I am glad to know that God does infact speak that way. I finished that and then proceeded to go and shovel the walk since Brandon no longer lives with us. I often complain about this place but this morning I realized why i am blessed to live in Laramie WY. The crisp fresh air and the couple inches of snow covering everything. I love it . I t reminds me of what God does in our lives. He comes into our lives and then covers all our screw ups showing in the end the perfection of who he is. the only difference is that it never melts away and those pieces that he has covered do not just exist under the surface instead He replaces them and makes us whole. God is good. I am thankful for the passion that he has for me even in the midst of my mistakes and sins.
So now i am at the end and dont know how to spell check so if there are numerous errors i am sorry but i will have to seek expert advice from dave.
