So I have been taking this medical administration class at so I can become certified to administer medications and I took the test on Friday (passed) and I took the intership test today (passed) and now I am recieving my promotion. I have also been reading this book a lot lately about starting a nonprofit for child advocacy and I am super excited. Sometimes I feel frustrated because things dont seem to be moving fast enough or if I can't seem to understand or know everything about what is happening with my life but I was reminded when I read 1st Kings chapter 6 that God has all those details. When Solomon was building the temple, everything was built so specifically and to see those details come to be, I take comfort in the fact that God works out the details in my life and they will become tangible in the right time. I think about what it takes to build a building... You have to actually have the dream or get the instruction to build, then you need the land to build on, then you have to have the materials. You also need the help of others, then you have to start on the foundation and sometimes you have to go back to the blueprint. All these things remind me of God not just being my author and finsher but He is my builder and perfector and my trainer and I know my life is in His hands.

And my enemies will become my footstool...this is true! But what I find is sometimes we get caught up with our enemies becoming our footstool that we dont pray for them. Lately, I have been having a very rough time at work. My supervisor seemed to be discriminating against me because of my culture. I spoke to her today and I thank God for giving me the boldness to tell her my heartfelt feelings and observations about her job performance and not only has she apologized to me, but she is now confiding in me her hopes and dreams and I thought of POC as sue was telling me her dream of getting her books published and getting a tshirt line out. Sometimes things seem to really suck but when you ask God to renew your mind and heart daily, He will give you fresh perspectives and to those who can endure the trials remembering that they have already won, you won't miss the opportunities to bless those that curse you. Live fearlessly, Love truthfully and Laugh hard :-) goodnight

Unsurety and Insight
What do you do when things seem unsure? Pray anyway, love anyway, laugh anyway, live anyway. I have learned this truth along time ago but I have experienced this truth for the last few months. Honestly, I grew very weary of dong good at some points but God really reminded me to do anyway, continue anyway...in and out of season. I dont know where God is leading me but I can see the connections and the thngs that relate along the way. The vision God gave me for the group home is very real to me. That is my BHAG. I'm still doing research on defining and refining it in its totality but it is becomng mind boggling to me right now. But regardless of my unsurety, I will still move forward, and I guess I'll be learning along the way.
