Follow the road no matter how tough it seems
Inspirational sayings for my students
Today, some of my students will be playing their first tennis match and im excited and nervous for them. I have a tradition of writing a short note and sharing some words of encouragement to them that is personal and unique to just them. Below are some of the quotes i used this year.
Please say a prayer for these young/future leaders of our church as they play their first match. I pray that regardless of the score and outcome, that they always seek and reflect God’s glory. Im nervous for them!!! -PJSLB
A tough start to the week
Lord, i pray for all the people who have suffered from the storms in the southeast US this past weekend. Please give them the peace and comfort that only you can bring.
This has been a very hectic day. I just got back in my office and didnt even have time for lunch. Days like this, I need to stop and remember that our God controls all. Everything that happens and everything that i go thru is for his good in the end. Have a blessed day everyone. -PJSLB
I am done driving this bus
I am sharing this because i know that a lot of you are going thru this as well. A lot of you are just as confused as I am about “What God wants me to do”. I read your comments and emails and all your questions. Its hard cause the questions you ask are questions i have myself.
My life has taken some turns and for the most part it has been exciting and fun. This part of my life isnt so much. I am scared and confused. How did i go from ‘what i prayed for’ to ‘an opportunity presents itself’ to ‘hey guess what something big could be on the way’. Its frustrating because i thought i was already at a place where God wants to use me. But now i can be pulled to two different place…Where do i go…What do I do? I am beginning to lose sleep over this.
After speaking with a childhood friend and my wife and asking for prayers, I am just as confused as ever. I then had a breakthrough! I GIVE UP!!!!! I GIVE UP TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT God WANTS OUT OF ME! I give up trying to put the pieces together. I give up trying to “make moves” so that something will happen. I give up and will now let God completely take control.
Whether i stay where i am, go somewhere else, do what what i am doing now, create something new with a new opportunity, or even revert back to life before 2013 and the hectic schedule of a family business…i will just “fall” into place knowing that this is what God had planned all along. -PJSLB
