MIA but Working on it

It's been quite some time since I sat down to put "pen to paper" so to speak. But I will do my best to post more often. Truth is I doubt many people read this blog, but I want to be able to capture a lot of my important, significant, memorable or funny life events. With that said, the next post arrives in 3...2...

Building in New Territory for 2023 and Beyond

Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. Psalm 127:1 (ESV) I'm starting 2023 in a new country, a new job and with a new mindset. But if it's one thing I'm clear about, there's an old and yet enduring principle that guides this new season. It's this: higher heights require deeper roots. Or using another analogy, deeper foundations. This house that I am figuratively building, cannot stand up if it's done in my strength and with my tools. But if I build as God instructs and with His tools, it can stand up to any storm.  And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. Matthew 7:25 (ESV) There is a Rock on which I'm building. Steady, unmoving, dependable, sure, and more. It's great comfort to me as I navigate this new season.  With that said, I'm making a commi...

Letting Go

There are many "things" in life that we grow attached to. People. Habits. Money. Ideas. Jobs. Comfort. TV shows. Gadgets...the list goes on. This attachment is likely to have been born out of a need or perhaps circumstance or simply a desire. They serve a purpose in our lives...otherwise, the strings and connections would not last. Life being as dynamic as it is means that there will come a time when we have to cut some of our connections. We have to detach from elements in our lives which have run their course or have become weights pulling us down into a valley...or simply to grow. And so we must let go. In order to do so, we must: 1) Evaluate - Knowing where we are in life and where we are going is the only way to know if our lives are on-track. We must therefore evaluate our circumstances in as unbiased a manner as possible to be able to make an informed decision. 2) Accept reality - It is of no use believing in a lie. Connections and bonds may be very strong, but ...

Meet the Matt Mobile

October 22...The day I officially met Matt. How did it start? For 11.5 years, I had Libby. I got her at time when moving from place to place was important for my mental wellbeing. She got me from home to work and back, to church, to events in and out of town and more. She wasn’t always the smoothest ride, but she was there. She was known to many and became an identifier of my movement. Her brightness was hard to hide. But after those numerous years, her age started to show. In September, it was out of commission for more than half the month. She kept shutting off and the reason wasn't initially clear. Then after that, the radiator gave up the ghost...with a puff of smoke no less. It was during this time that I advanced plans to purchase a new vehicle. I no longer felt comfortable being on the road in Libby, more so as I end up driving by myself a lot. As hard as it was, changing the car became necessary. And in this season of change, I need to embrace this. It’s not easy beca...
