"Love"

God what does one have to do to feel the love of another?
Someone special and who understands what love is.
Someone who is truly unique in of their own right and love me the same because they love you.
So what do I have to do ?
God your love is enough, but it's incredibly challenging when I see others who seem to have found that love.
Gosh, my heart just aches at times and right now is one of those times.

Preparation

2012 was great, but I think honestly 2013 will be way better than anything I can imagine honestly and for that very reason I'm excited! There's been a lot of moving pieces already for an already new year and now there is no time, but now what we have in front of us. Not really a New Years resolution, just something that I want to work on is doing the right thing when it comes to eating and other habits that I struggle. It may sound silly, but honestly it's something that I would like to change!

Preparation is what happens when changes are about to be made and we are either ready for them or not. What we can do is prepare ourselves for the changes that are about to come our way. We can either prepare or we can sit and twiddle our thumbs, be belligerent, or act like we don't know what's going. In the reality what's going on is we are about to have some life changes happening. There are plenty of good examples within the Bible that talk about preparation everything from going to war, to sending the twelve disciples, and the time Jesus spent before he was arrested and sentenced to death on a cross. You see every time something major was happening God prepared his people and the people that were going to lead his people. I know for me there are a lot of things that are happening right now which go hand in hand with preparation.

With exactly everything that's happening right now preparation is been at the forefront of a lot of what I've done or have been doing. It's all in preparation for what I believe is me moving for schooling. It's not something that's easy and frankly it's challenging for several reasons. I'm not an academic type person it's all about hands for me when I learn something. The fact that when I was in high school I hoped for a career in the military and therefore never gave any attention to or enough to school. Do my 20 years and get out then enjoy life, but that's not how things worked out. You see all my life I've dreaded school, sitting in a classroom where power point has become the primary tool to teach students just puts me to sleep. It bores me to death and I honestly can't stand it! I would like to take the person who made power point and have a come to Jesus meeting with them. It's a great tool when used properly, but it's abused by professionals, schools, teachers, and even in the work place. 

Well now that I've said that and with all things that's happening right now it's very possible that school is where I'm headed again. Deep breath. It's not exactly ideal, but it's where I do believe that I'm being called. Hope you got something out of this! Take care and God Bless!!
