Left to Go Right.

I was watching a televangelist on tv this morning, and he was talking about how God has people going left, to get them to end up right. He was going on and on about things and then he hit right where I am at in my life. It was like he looked right at the camera and said "Keven, this is for you." He had my attention, that's for sure.

He started to talk about if you are at a job that you don't feel it is a right fit for you, that is God taking you on a left turn, to get you prepared for the right turn.  When you are left, God is preparing an even greater thing for you, than where you are at right now. In fact I just posted this on my facebook page the other day, about "God, I sure hope you something better for me than this." I was talking about my job.

The job that closed down and sent me to un-employment paid over $22.00 an hour. As my un-employment was running out, I didn't have much choice in jobs, so I had to take one that was offered to me for $10.00/hour. Less than half of what I had been making. I made more on un-employment.

I am very grateful to have this job. It is local (Sycamore), it's first shift, and I am able to get Friday's off for ISOM. The pay is the only thing that stunk about this. But I had a job, thank You Jesus!

So I have been there nine months now, and I have been hired full time. But, and there is always a but, I am really tired of the long hours each and everyday. On top of that, they expect you to just work them. Excuse me, but I have a life. I have a family and friends that I would like to see and spend time with. I don't live to work here. So last week, I was down in spirit about this place and crying out to God, "there has to be something more for me than this."

That's when this televagelist comes into play. He was preaching about the job situation and staying there until God moves you onto something bigger and better. And believe me, there is going to be something bigger and better. So right now, God has me on a left turn, and I am trying to be patient until He moves me to the right turn. I know that He has something more for me, I can just feel it. So while I wait, I will worship and praise Him! To God goes all of the glory. He gets everything from me, the good and the bad! I lay it at His feet and let go. Thank You Jesus!

I Want to do Better!

They last few weeks I have been looking back on where I have been, and where God has me going. I would like a little more revelation from Him, but I will be patient, or at least try to be. I the meantime I will worship Him!

What I have noticed is that in my mind I have failed at all or at least some of these things lately. So I want to do better.

I want to be a better husband. I want to be a better father. I want to be a better son. I want to be a better brother. A better uncle, a better friend, a better co-worker, a better witness for my Savior Jesus Christ. I want the Holy Spirit to help me do all of this.

My prayer is that God will help me become the man that He wants me to be. My job is to be patient and be still and let Him be God! I know the desires of my heart, but I want more of God and less of me. I want what God wants first and foremost, not what Keven wants. I want to hear His voice and answer His call. I don't want to be to busy to hear God. I want to be busy about the Father's buisness. I want to be working with and for God.

I know I can do better. I WANT TO DO BETTER!!
