What are you looking for?

Talked to one of my dear friends today who has been been through hell with failed relationships. Spoke to another, that is very personal, who has fought additcttion and nonsense her entire life. One says Budhism is the way, the other thinks that God just covers everything.

Now, enter me. You all know me to be completely brazen in my beliefs and I really don't parse my counsel. Either man up, or woman up, with me. I speak truth and I do my utmost to be fair.

So, as I, with prayerful counsel, adjudicate these issues, I want to affirm that we all need a solid foundation. And for me, and truth, that solid foundation resides in my unequivical belief in Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit. This is what grounds me. I have been blown up, shot at, beaten down, betrayed, left for abandon. I lost my favorite golf clubs, my home, my bike, essentially everything. And each time, God has told me to stand up. Like Job. Just stand in your faith. Failed relationships, marriages, money, trust,...and the list goes on. But if we have that firm foundation, nothing can crush us or destroy. And, heck, if I die, then I will be in the arms of my savior.

Visited mom, dad, and my brother's grave just to have chat (I know they are in Heaven and I'm lookin' for an "in") but just wanted to check in an ensure I'm tracking as I know they are looking down on my and praying with intersession. I miss them. They were so solid. Their faith was impervious yet I know they were challenged and didn't crack.

That's what I want to be in my faith. I'm not searching. I know. And I intend to fight tooth and nail for that for the rest of my life. Please, I beg of you, open your Bibles. Read the amazing story of Jesus in the Gospels, read the Epistles that define it all for us. Then read the rest though the eyes of and experience of Jesus and I assure you that the light will come on. BE A LIGHT!!!!
