The Bigger World

As I sit here in reflection, having drifted in thought while gazing at my backyard, I look up from my backyard and see the bayou and it's greenery over my backyard's fence. This gives me an astounding revelation: so often I focus too heavily on my little scope of the world and my problems, yet I often neglect to see the bigger world - it's beauty, possibilities and how I can contribute to it all. GOD placed me here to serve a purpose, HIS purpose - not to stagnate within my petty little problems. After all, HE is the Author and Finisher of my faith, my Creator and Provider of all that I am ever to be and be in need of. I need to be about HIS business and to commit to and entrust all of these things that only HE can work out anyway.

Stepping Forward

Alas! I am unemployed again, yet I am not stopping to worry or pine. Moving forward is the only viable option. I have faith that HE will work it all out and I need to be about living life and doing HIS will. One very important thing I have learned about life: there are always obstacles and disappointments along the way and if I choose to get up and step forward then I have made the best decision possible.
