Going Deeper

This week we have been discussing going deep within ourselves and discovering more about why we are the way we are and why we act the way we act. Many of us put on a fake self for most of our common encounter. My wife and I were talking about this. I am a different person even when I am with her family. Not really different I guess, just not fully myself. The more comfortable I get with an individual the more willing I am to open up I guess.

Should we be completely open with everyone we meet? Is that the goal? I don't know. I do not think it is necessary to be completely vulnerable with every other human being on the face of this planet. It's good to be able to be yourself, but how far should we take it?

New Job

I have started my new job working as a bell hop at a hotel. New baby. New job. Less involvement at the church. It feels like I am living a completely different life than I was two months ago. It is such a surreal feeling.

Life at the hotel is interesting. I am definitely in a job with worldly people, and that is an adjustment. I have to get re acclimated to swearing and dirty jokes. However, I do not really want to be acclimated as much as I want to be able to.... I guess I don't really know what I want accept to be a light in the darkness. This job gives many plenty of opportunity to serve others and show Christ to others through my life. I pray God can use me their to share the Gospel with others.

I am very thankful God has provided me with a job to care for my family. I am very thankful that I have a family who loves me. I am very thankful I have a warm home and bed to sleep in at night.

There is plenty of things in my life I know I take for granted. And although I am still adjusting to this new life I am living, I thank God for all He is and all He does for me (not just in this physical world!).
