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

One more week

We have one more week in 2016. I have one more week to do everything I wanted to do this year. I wanted to be secure in my faith and in my career. My faith is strong and yes I am in the career path that I prayed for. I thought I am where my the lord wanted me to be at…now I am not sure. 


I pray for clarity in where the lord wants me to be. I am afraid that I am not hearing him correctly and that’s scaring me. -PJSLB

Christmas without loved ones.

I have always been blessed and fortunate to be around family on Christmas.  The family tradition is to stay up till midnight, open gifts and eat (again) and go to bed around 3 am.  As a kid, Christmas was always about what is under the Christmas tree.  As i get older Christmas is becoming more about who is around the Christmas tree with me (or at least who is on facetime on my ipad).

The Christmas season of 2013 and 2014 were joyous because of all the family that was around us.  Guam and the Philippines were experiences we will never forget.  This year, things are a little quiet.  Family that i did have around me have all went to their in-laws for the holiday and from the looks of it, Christmas and New Years will be spent with just the wife and kids

This holiday season will be a great time to start a new tradition.  If you have any family traditions you would love to share, please feel free.  Regardless who is around this holiday season, the only thing that matters is that my Lord and Savior reigns above all.  Anytime the world is open to hearing his life, death, resurrection and future return is always a good thing in my eyes.

On a side note, I will be having limited computer access during the holidays, so most if not all posts until the New Years will be thru mobile.  Also, I will have limited access to email so will not be able to respond to prayer request until then.  Have a greet week and hope you got your Christmas shopping taken care off!  -PJSLB

Watching the Lord use your Kids to do his will

Proud Dad status of the day:
Coming home this afternoon and driving in the rain we see our elderly neighbor raking the leaves on her front lawn. I ask the girls if we should help her and they said yes. After parking the car and leaving our stuff in the garage, we approach our neighbor and ask if she needed help. She had the biggest smile and said yes. She wants the exercise of raking but not the bending and placing in trash bags. I tell her to leave it all there and the girls and i will return and finish up. She says to the girls that this is the sweetest thing she has seen in such a long time.
An hour later (after the girls finished their homework) we walk over to “Ms. Betty’s” house to find piles of leaves. WE find a small trash bag to be filled with leaves and two chocolate bars on top of the rake. Ms. Betty left them for the girls. The girls glad started placing them in trash bags. N notices that the trash bag was getting full and suggested she go get one of our “big” trash bags. 30 mins later as we were done, K screams thank you to Ms. Betty for the chocolate. Ms. Betty opened her front door and had the biggest smile and said God Bless You to the girls. Walking back to the house, we stopped at Ms. Betty’s driveway and said a prayer of thanks to the Lord for allowing us to help. K quickly said “Im glad we got a chance to help”.

I thank you lord for allowing the girls to be part of your plan to help out someone today. Have a good night everyone.  May the Lord bless us and keep us. – PJSLB
