Memories

I remember graduating high school and being so ready to get out of school, so excited that I was FREE AT LAST. I also remember the apprehension I felt, would I be able to pass my freshman year at Tulane, would I be able to take care of myself if - gasp - I was by myself for the rest of my life. Well I am living proof that I can and did indeed make it through. Now I am at another crossroads and I am excited and apprehensive. It will be interesting. And it's all in God's control!!!

Blowing it

I have blown opportunities many many times in  my life. Relationships too. Some have forgiven me. Some opportunities have returned and been good. Some are lost in cyberspace (figuratively and literally). But there is one opportunity and one relationship that is stable and certain and firm. That with God and Jesus. And I praise them for that,

God's Direction

God told Abraham that He would give Him a son. He told Him that through that son there would be a mighty nation. The only detail God left out was how long it would take. He was teaching Abraham to have faith, and that faith takes patience and waiting on God. I have learned to do this. I do not know what the next chapter holds for me but I do know God will bless me as He always has. I went to see about a job opportunity to be a supplement to what I have but God revealed during the interview this isn't what I wanted at all. So I retire with petHelper and only petHelper. But I know that He will bless me always. ALWAYS!

Blessings beyond blessings

I am an ordinary person. I have no special talents, nor am I particularly gifted. All that I can do is from God. If I am scared that I will fail, I will fail. I will fail. God will not. Whatever I do is dross, whatever He does is gold. I believed that in school. I believe that now. Wherever He wants me to go from here I will follow. I will not move without His guidance, ever again. Many times I moved without Him. Never again.

Knowing your limits

Knowing limits is actually basic in mathematics. There is a limit in decision making in probability where one makes a decision with 95% confidence one way, 5% confidence another way. And all decisions and choices come within the bell shaped curve. Sometimes there is an outside chance things are one way. These decisions are represented on the edge. Sometimes you can bet the house that things are one way and these decisions are represented in the middle of the curve. In every day life it is important to know the middle of the curve and the edges and to make our decisions based on knowing those limits. And not to worry if our decisions go to the outside of the larger diameter, because there is the off chance that that decision is correct. No one should ever say something is wrong if it is not done the way most people proceed. No one should ever say something is right if it is done according to the methods which are in the middle of the curve. Does this mean there is no right and wrong? No but that has to do with morality, not decision making and math.Both are from God...and He equips us well to know our limits in both situations.
