Beyond Recognition

A busy week. In GR last week, which was incredibly perfect timing as a booster shot of leadership training that filled my leadership tank that was running on LOW LOW LOW LOW> Apple bottom jeans....boots with the fur. But I digress. What a reminder that the relational capacity we own with the people we are entrusted to lead is the most powerful tool we have in our belt. If we don't build relationships with people, there is no opportunity for growth for them, nor for us. This plays out not only in work, but also in life. If I don't have the relational capacity to serve others in my neighborhood, they certainly will not be open to the gift of grace. Any who - While there, I had an opportunity to sit down with AD and ask some questions about my future as an employee. I have been wondering if I should be concerned with that, as many of you know, the positions I thought I was moving to NYC did not all workout as we had thought they might. That being said, I have certainly learned to trust God more daily, and even on the men's retreat, I felt like God convicted me that HE is my treasure, and HIS TRUST is what I should treasure. Again I say Any Who -AD has come to be someone that I respect and trust, and I don't know if I am overstepping my bounds in saying he is a friend of mine, but I certainly hope so. In our conversation, I got to hear about how he is doing with his responsibilities, how life is treating him, and enjoy some conversation of both work and non-work items, which I enjoyed. By the end of the conversation, he assured me that I am valued in our company. And that they feel that I can offer some positive things in whatever role I might be in. Not going to lie to you, I wasn't really sure on that, but I thought I was there. There is a possibility that I might work with the Aussie in the future, and work to develop the leadership components. If this is God's hand, I am blessed beyond recognition now and forever more. It is my hope this is his hand, and that he will open these doors, and never let them close. I trust him with my career. My life and my all. But secretly, I pray that this will be his will for 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...
