Another busy day! That is good and I am thankful for that. The last few days has me really thinking about work. Evaluating what I am doing and the people I am in contact with. So many folks who are just out for themselves - their point of view and beliefs no matter what will be heard. The other day, while working in an office - there hanging on the wall is a poster with Jesus written on it. The person I am working with that day says - that should not be allowed in a public university - I thought how strange is that? This is the same person who has an office next to a person who has nothing but ANTI BUSH stuff on the outside of the office door. Its ok to slam the President and our administration to a great and FREE country but not ok to hang a poster with the word Jesus written on it. I just dont understand some people and how the vision of Jesus has been distorted over time - read my blog a few posts ago. Irrational and unjust but why?
Today there was a conversation about a good dear friend of mine going for her second interview. She has been through so much but the Lord is doing her right in so many ways the last month or so. She has walked in through these doors one person a few weeks back and is now not that same person because God has given her a chance to let everyone know - it was not right what has happened to her and she is MUCH better than the way she was treated and the lies that were told to others about her. She is a very caring and loving woman - who deserves respect - laughter and honesty. She loves the Lord and her word is her honor because Jesus is in her heart. This interview today - she will have to wait a little longer to see if she has the job or not. BUT- God has placed her here for now and she wont leave this post until her COMMITTED time has come to an end. Its her word and for that - I ask the Lord to continue to bless her. Its the right thing to do and today so many people walk away from their word - flip and flap back and forth and don't take a stand for what is right. Someone told her to forget that and take care of herself. Leave the post and take care on #1. I just cant seem to get that out of my head and how #1 should not be ourselves....but Jesus! Jesus is our #1 and where He leads my dear friend is where she will go. Fully trusting in His decision and in His plan. That is pretty awesome and even though she may not have all these type details thought out like the way I am feeling down deep about it - I know she is doing what Jesus would want her to do and she will go where He opens the doors. A teachable moment for so many folks around her and she will be happy where she goes because God has given her that particular opportunity. Our mission work together - sharing Gods message to those around us will either happen here or it will happen a little further apart. I am confident that will happen.
Proverbs 15
25 The LORD tears down the proud man's house but he keeps the widow's boundaries intact.
26 The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked, but those of the pure are pleasing to him.
27 A greedy man brings trouble to his family, but he who hates bribes will live.
28 The heart of the righteous weighs its answers, but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil.
29 The LORD is far from the wicked but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
30 A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.
Love you all,
Randy
