Blessings abound

So really stop for a minute and process life with me if you would. I have a position right now where they are paying me well to learn from them. Did I mention that I love to learn? It has officially been a week today, and I am already locked in at my new school. This is going to be a place that makes a long lasting impression on my life, how I live, what I do, and where I am at. I never expected to be working in D-town at this point in time, and yet, if you process with me, this is the most incredible place that I could be. Period. Learning how to do things from the best. Everyone in said organization keeps saying 'oh, that is a great school', or 'she is the best' about the principal. I have not met a slacker as of yet. It is energizing to be in a new place, at a new time, with a new approach to life. Refreshing and invigerating. I just hope to 'help' in some way shape or form this year, not just sponge it up.

Our men's group did a fast on Monday, and I think it did some incredible things for people. I prayed solidly all day for the men in our group, and that God would speak to them. He did just that, and it is pretty cool to watch that all unfold.

Tonight, I am at the godson's to hang out for the night. T. wattsy and wifey had some serious things to consider this week, and I am blessed to see the unselfishness in their thoughts, their words, and their actions. I am blown away by their willingness to try to do what is right and love others before themselves. I am certain that God will lead them in the right direction, and demonstrate His love to them.

Once again, summer is over, and the pace of my schedule is picking up. I know I need to keep the balance in check so that I can take time to engage with the kkft that is so vital. I look forward to an awesome fall in all aspects of my world. Keep doing what is right, and wrongs won't happen for you.

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Righteous or Unrighteous?

Today, as I thoroughly enjoyed my walk to the school, I pondered quite a few things, as I often do on my walk. Sometimes I pray for people like Hammy, Jimmer, sick pete, mg, cdubs, pastor, beary, and the like. But today, I simply reveled in the fact that God loves me. As I watched the snow melting away, I could see the dirt and garbage left behind throughout my walk. I think of how God melts away our dirt and our garbage. How he longs to be in relationship with us, and how he cleanses our sins from existence. As the sun rose, I couldn't help but think of the verse I read this morning in Matthew 5:45 - "...that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes the sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." I pondered if Jesus was walking with me, which of the above categories would HE put me in? I'm pretty sure the unrighteous one at times. But yet he still walks with me and leads my steps. He brings the heat ...

Casa de Kelly - a nice place to dine.

It has been a challenging week for me personally. Struggling with some things personal in nature, nothing that I need to go into, but just working hard to keep my chin up. But encouragement comes to me through others that follow God. Thanks to sick Pete for his encouragement to me this week. Thanks to BK for his prayers and vulnerability. But my biggest thanks goes out to the kkft. After a tough week, I got an email yesterday from superstar saying she was hoping to take me out to dinner for drinks, conversation, and even dessert. But no sitter. So her and the girls were working on 'casa de kelly' restaurant in our apartment. I am almost certain it was the best restaurant I have ever visited in my life. Candlelight, mexican food and latin music, time to sit and chat with my wife, the girls serving us and giving us privacy (even had the taboo buzzer to call them when we needed something :)), it was my best night of the year by far. But perhaps the biggest part of the n...
