Will you trust me?

On yet another glorious run through the park this morning, I was struggling with something. I am to meet with the school board on Wednesday. Our HR chief called me yesterday to 'give me the heads up' on this week's interview. I have come to feel like we have a great relationship, and that I can be very open and honest with him about everything, and we have shared in some intense conversations on God and our walks. So he tells me the board is interviewing another candidate that they actually brought to NHA who is a strong candidate that is local. All I can do is my best, but it appears that maybe this school is not on the horizon. I don't know that, and I am going to hit another home run tomorrow night. But as I ran and pondered the possibilities, I felt like God again challenged me to the question: 'Will you trust me?' and my answer is "I sure hope so." It has been hard to go through the range of emotions once with thinking something would happen, and it didn't. And now I may face that again. Perhaps if that happens it will be easier. But I strive to put my trust not in a school, or a position, or a principalship, but in He who created me for so much more. I will try to put all my trust in just that. Today. Tomorrow. And for the rest of this process. Help me Jesus, send the Holy Spirit to guide me.

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...
