Wilma? or Won'tma?

Short and Sweet. We are closing on our house Tuesday. Everything we own is fully insured as long as it is in the new house. The insurance company thought we closed on the 15th. So we are going to try to move as much as we can into our new house before the red headed bombshell makes a visit.

We will make a call on our evacuation plans Friday. I'm hoping God just gave us two days off to move our stuff in to OUR NEW HOME!!!!! Hopefully we will have it for more than 3 days.

Besides all that boring situation stuff, I'm feeling a lot better about my job as a teacher. I'm realizing that God may be trying to correct a flaw in my thinking towards my work. I have always gotten my identity from the kind of work I do. I take a lot of pride in my work.

There is nothing wrong with doing the best you can at work. God honors that. But as a child of God my identity has to be through Him and Him only. Some of you who do not have a real close relationship with God probably won't understand. But if I identify myself as an Engineer instead of a child of God then my main job and purpose becomes making things better, instead of showing people the Glory of God through my life.

Since I have realized this truth about the kingdom of God, my attitude toward teaching has been great.

I started this blog to show people how the realization of God's love, wisdom, and power can bring peace into any situation. It has taken me 11 weeks of prayer to see what God is showing me, but now I see and the peace in my life is as He has always promised.

I believe that God designed Life to show us this 1 fact. That is why it's so hard. There is always something in our lives that is crap! A person can ignore it and try to make the best out of it, or learn to laugh about it, like I try to do. The problem with that is your missing the truth that will set you free.

A mentally strong person can be happy in a jail cell if that person simply entertains himself in his mind. But he is still not free. I am being set free from the identity of an Engineer. It does not sound like a bad thing to be set free from, but when your not working in an Engineering position it is just the worst feeling ever. Especially when you suffered through 7 years of school to be an Engineer.

Cancel the short and sweet, give me good and real.
