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

I love where I’m at Lord. Why should I move?


I am where I am and I am. It complaining. I feel like I am doing the Lords work and I love that. I always get nervous about the future and that’s a flaw I need to work on. 

My question is…what if opportunities come that will shake the “comfort” that I am in right now? How would I know which path to take. Talk to me lord.

Prayer request from A.R.R.

Received this today in the prayer request page.  Please life up P.C. in your prayers.

Please pray for my wife and I. I (have) been wanting another child, but she (has) been afraid/fearful with her high blood pressure (and) that it will be difficult during her pregnancy and put the child at high risk. Keep us in your prayers.

Merry Christmas Family….
God Bless

A.R.R., You will be in all our prayers.  This is a tough one because its praying for what you want and at the same time praying for someone else (in this case your wife) to be comfortable with what you are praying for.  Wanting another child is something i can relate to.  I also know how stressful and worrisome any pregnancy can be.

It is in my heart to pray NOT for your wife to change her mind or for you to receive what you are praying for BUT to pray for complete trust and submittal to the will of God.  The bible teaches us to trust the lord in all and rely on his infinite understanding.  I pray that you trust the Lord in his decision to help you have a child (or not) AND more importantly, I pray that your wife TRUSTS the lord if she does (or does not) get pregnant.

Psalm 84:11 
For the LORD God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.

Please keep us updated A.R.R. and rest assured that you have brothers and sisters in Christ  that are praying for you and your family.

Thought of the night 11/30/16

Its been a day that seemed to go by so fast but nothing really happened.  I am amazed at just how uneventful this week has been.  With how i felt at the start of this week, i will gladly take that.

Lord, I would like to thank you for my family and everything that we have been thru to get us to the point we are at now.  Its a struggle at times, but when i see the laughter and love we have for one another and the love we have for you; it is all worth it.

I pray for safety for my family and loved ones tonight.  I pray for everyone who reads this; fill their needs Lord.  Show yourself so that once their prayers have been answered, there is no doubt that it is only thru your good grace that they have received.

I pray for anyone who is suffering tonight lord.  Heal them physically, emotionally and spiritually.  Send the Holy Spirit right now lord.

Finally, I pray for myself.  I pray lord that you continue to use me as a writing instrument in this book of life.  I thank you lord for using me despite me not being anywhere near perfect.

prayer

Good Night and God Bless – PJSLB
