Good morning and happy Friday. Well I I think I know how Moses and the people of Israel felt in that desert for all those years. Some of you know about my job situation and the four year wait to see if I get it back. Well just as we were topping the last mountain, it seemed, we find it's just the top of another in line. The hearing is now put off until September after really feeling like it was happening this month. I've learned now, after this long, to not ask why any more and just keep moving. I've learned some perseverance that I thought I already had. No, I have some now and have found a very content place in all this. I am frustrated a bit and would just like the answer, yes or no, so I can move on to the next thing He has for me. But right now this  may be the next thing He has for me. I'm just coming to realize it. When they walked around not knowing where or when, it had to be frustrating to trust. And there's the point. I'm really learning to trust that He has a plan for me and I need to follow Him to get there. Making choices on my own without His council will prove to be unfulfilling. Trust is a hard thing to learn. It's even harder to give into. Thank you all for walking it with me. Just like Moses, he didn't go alone into the desert, but he may have felt like it. Trust God to lead you to the best place you've ever been. He will take to the Promised Land. In love always. <>< 

Good morning and happy Thursday.  Ever notice how you can talk to your friends or people you know from work about stuff and even offer advise? Ever wonder why you can't seem to do that as easily with your family? It's because they know you. They know your past and that stuff you're saying to them seems hypocritical to them because they know what you did. We say we don't hold someone's past against them but try as we might we do. As they walk away we mention something from way back to the person standing next to us. I am so glad that God does not do that with me. He loves me in spite of my past choices. He guides me to use my past to be able to use it to help someone else. Because we know someone's past is the reason why we should be able to hear them speak to us. They've been there and know the way out. Accepting help and the Grace of God are the most foundational things to a new, better and peaceful life with God and our families. Just because of your past, don't be afraid to share what you know of Him and how a day on the cross saved you. In love always. <><

Good morning and happy Wednesday. "So how's things going? Everything good? Yeah just workin and getting by. Doin the family thing and stuff, you know". Sound familiar? Are our lives really making a difference to anyone outside our home? What will be said of you when you're just a memory? Who will know you when your gone and who will care?  It's not that it's important to leave a legacy, it's the kind of one you left. Tyrants have a legacy and people still talk about them. Mother Theresa was about the love of her Lord and we'll be talking about her for years. But the people she helped have felt her love for them and the compassion she had from Jesus to give of herself to them. When Jesus comes to get us I hope that He asks, "Where's Bryan?" and then I'm found over some place doing His work, right up to the end. I don't wanna be at the front of the line with eyes bugged out at the Glory coming. I want someone to know Jesus because I knew Him and He led me to them. As soon as we can focus our lives on Him, we will live for Him. When the trumpet sounds be in the field working for Him and the sound of His voice is your call to be done and go Home. I wanna live like that. In love always. <>< 

Good morning and happy Tuesday. We always seem to have to have proof of something. Archeologist dig to prove where we come from and how the Earth was formed. Scientist work in labs to prove a cure, disease, or other problems of the world. Yet we all love a good mystery and I think that's why God made us that way. So we would fall in love with the mystery who is God. He reveals just enough of Himself so we can know Him, but keeps us from some things so we dig into it and discover how deep His love for us really is. There is good in a mystery of not knowing everything about something. Sometimes God is simply protecting us from things or even ourselves. I love a good mystery and I love God. I love that I don't know everything about Him or about what is coming for me. It helps me trust Him more and to want to know Him more. I want my life to be proof of His love. It's come a long way already but there is still a ways to go. I can't wait to see what's around he next corner. Thanks for the mystery God. In love always. <><
