keep your head low and your hands raised

At church right now we are doing the series Courage Under Fire: the Life of Daniel. Wow, what a connection to the world we live in. Anyone feeling like they are in the fire with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego? What about the lions den with Daniel? Can’t pay the bills on time or even at all? Feel like you’ll never reach someone’s expectation no matter how hard you try? Have a sickness that is spreading through you? Do you feel like you are stuck in impossible situations? I know there are times that I am ready to blaze a train through some of these things and kick some serious booty on my own and every time I try my own ways I end up going the complete wrong way of fixing the situation. (That is totally God keeping me in check.) But I secretly want the satisfaction of knowing that I got through something without help. It never works out quite that way though, does it? Here’s what God has taught me through this series. You may be in the den or fire right now, and it may really hurt and it may feel like you’ll never get anywhere or do anything right enough, but there is something beyond the den and the fire. As a matter of fact, God is right there with you walking through it and saying, “hey, keep your eyes focused on me. I’ll get you through. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again. I’ll never leave you, I promise. And by the way, I love you. You are important to me. Keep going my child.” His promises are endless and He never breaks them. We can count on Him. So how are you doing? You walking through the fire? Remember, you’re not alone.

Rest in that. Night friends.

I think this blog is going to be a multitude of this, partially because I am a multitude of things.  This would be a great place for me to blog about being an admin and some of the skill sets that are useful for me as a person and as a professional.  Also, I would like to use this for my ministry blogging and personal life blogging as well.  It is no secret that the church is where I work and where I spend most of my every day life, so hopefully this blog will give some insight to someone who needs it and maybe it will serve as a great way for me to look through my day and reflect on the great things that God is teaching me and the way He is blessing me day to day.
