WAITING ON GOD

Are there things that you are unsure of, the future where you are headed or even if your steps are correct? I am often there, as I am not sure of many things going on now, but one thing I am sure of is that God is a God of glory and truth and He will never steer me wrong. May God bless me in whatever comes in the future and may He always bring blessings on His children.

Changes

Time is drawing near when the day I have planned for for the past 4 years is finally coming. I am running through a mix of emotions as I deal with a mom in failing health, although physically she is fabulous for a 92 year old. I am also dealing with a boss who is only an interim boss and yet she has striven to change and to challenge every thing that came before her. Even though past practices were acceptable, or at least some of them were. I am also dealing with bureaucracy at its most inefficient and yet most demanding. I am scared what will happen when I retire. I am anxious but I know that my Redeemer lives and as such i know He will provide. May God bless all those who are going through changes in their lives.

Get a grip

So the time I have before I retire is growing shorter and as it does it is becoming apparent that I am very, very, very fortunate that I am not hanging with the feds until I am at least not in a position to only to receive a portion of my pension. And the silliness and lunacy is really coming out. I am appalled frequently by the politics that are played at any given level of the government and am glad to be leaving. 25 years ago I started out as a Veterinary Medical Officer. I said "yes, ma'am" and "no, ma'am". And got things done. Now I am accused of not doing things even if there is evidence that these things are done. Our government is a wonderful thing, making life free for those who are here but it is not for those who are not patient. I am afraid I am reaching that point. It's time to put my resources to work for me instead of to put me to work for a boss that requires jumping two squares when only asked to jump one square.

America

America. What a country! Made up of people of all colors, multiple races, multiple beliefs and yet there are those who forget what this country was founded on. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom....basically, the freedom to be. If you disagree with what the government says feel free to say it. Burning the flag goes a little far for me, but the expression of disillusionment with the country does not. Just as hitting someone because one is angry with that someone is unacceptable behaviour but the expression of anger is not, it should just be done a little more peaceably. Because you see while we have freedom that does not give us the moral right to hurt or harm and burning a flag means that we would burn or shoot or do what it takes to express our displeasure. It deprives someone of the right to love the flag and that is the firewall that blocks any freedom. Will it do harm to someone? Then your freedom is no longer your freedom but it enslaves you to immediate gratification of getting things the way you like them. Praise be to God there is a more excellent way.
