We had a real nice group for our positive living group tonight. There were only three of us, but that proves to be very intimate with more heart to heart talks. The topic of the night was the right associations or be careful who your friends are. A friend can influence you faster than anything. My buddy Wayne says “Show me who your friends are and I’ll show you what your destiny is.” That can work both for the positive and the negative.
I was a little bit tired today after watching the Oscars at 4am. I love watching the telecast. For the longest time I believed I’d win one someday. Now that Im a bit older my goals and dreams have changed somewhat. I still have some very big aspirations. But what I want to do more than anything is following the plan that God has for my life. I have a general direction where I want to head (that is the “Man Plans his ways” part). My general direction is to have a loving relationship with my children, be a good husband to Jennifer, use my creative skills to inspire others to better themselves, exemplify Christ through my life style, and to change the world. Now those are the generals. How am I going to get there (the “God directs his steps part”) I have an idea but Its just a hunch. God is handling all the details as he directs my steps. Three years ago I had the general direction down, but I just couldn’t envision the details. Now that time has passed and my relationship with God has matured I think I have a bit of an indication of how my steps might be directed. But at this point its only a strong hunch. The details aren’t that important. But what is important is knowing wherever my next step will be, be it either left, right, north or south that God will bless that step and each ensuing step. All I have to do is live according live according to His purpose and I can’t lose. I think that is where the peace that passes all understanding comes in.
Im attaching a picture Nishad made from our waterpark visit. It’s pretty funny.
Please continue to pray for my children.
