I don't want to sound like I'm whining, but, I guess I really am.

It has been said, that hard work has never killed anyone. However, my company is trying to disprove that statement. I have been working so much lately that my dogs either, rush me as if I'm a stranger or follow me around so much that I'm tripping over them.

My very patient and supportive gal, jokes that we need to actually go out on a date for us to see each other. However, she will remind me, that even when we are out I get phone calls and text messages from work from various levels of people.

Attempts to find a new position in ministry, obviously, have not been very successful as I am still whining and complaining about my current position. I have a sense of humor about the whole thing but there comes a time when that humor humour becomes madness. LOL.

My current employer is having a negative impact on my spiritual, emotional, and relationship walk.
I especially not happy as I have no time for serious Bible study, and blog posting. Those interests, and my favorite gal, are the only things keeping me focused, and sane.

 I would ask for your prayers as I'm prepared to work another very long day, and look for other opportunities to you serve the Lord any upcoming week. Pray for a spiritual breakthrough, and a positive escape from the deep rut.

Some people fear the truth; I've spent so much time over the last couple of years facing the truth about myself that I no longer fear it. In fact, I embrace it, have learned from it, and have become a better person. Still flawed, and imperfect, but better.

Random Thoughts I 
Ever notice the more you study the Bible and try to get into the Word, the more the enemy disrupts your life?
 
Random Thoughts 2
The more I study the Book of Revelation, the more I believe the church should preach the Book of Revelation.
 
Random Thought 3
We spend a lot of time trying to figure out our purpose for being here, instead of listening to God, and His purpose for us being here.
 
THE PAST
Try as we might, our past attaches itself to us, and doesn't let go. Sometimes, good, often painful, the past can be a stumbling block to our future and relationship with God.  If I think of all the bad things that I did in the past, I would doubt that God could look past them, and use me to spread the Gospel, let alone accept me into His kingdom.
 
However, when you ask for forgiveness and take Jesus Christ as your Savior, the past is forgotten, at least by God.  We have a much harder time.
While you can never forget your past, don't let it get in the way of your walk with God, and your future.
 
"Forget what happened in the past, and do not dwell on events from long ago."
 
Isaiah 43:18
 
JOB OPPORTUNITY
Not happy with your current position? Looking for a way to make a positive impact around you? Here is an opportunity that can fill that requirement.
 
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and earth.
 
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
 
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. " Amen
 
Matthew 28:18-20
 
JAMES 1:19
James 1:19 So then my beloved brethren, be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; 20 for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
 
As we travel around the rest of this week; we need to take these words to heart as we come into contact with others. Your kindness and patience could be returned to you if you become one of "those people" to someone else.
