TAKING THE STAIRS INSTEAD OF THE ELEVATOR (In a literal sense)


Soooooooo, I consider today to be the beginning of the rest of my life. I got some news today, that I'm confident will change my life forever. TRULY. Mostly everyone that knows me, knows I'm a teacher. Its what I love, and I will let nothing, I MEAN NOTHING send me on a path opposite from my love. I've been studying my tail off for this big exam that was 5 hours long, and after much distress, many early mornings, and late nights with my face buried in the books, I PASSED. Sooooooooo, at this point, you're wondering what this picture of my beautiful wife and I have to do with this preface. ALOT!!! Together, she and I have weathered so many storms . NOTICE I SAY "TOGETHER". It reminds me of an album by Kindred the Family Soul, which boasts a song entitled, "In this life together". I realize that through everything, the fire, and the rain, the heartache, pain, great disdain, and moreso the moments to applaud, we've endured it TOGETHER. She was the first person I called as I sat there crying, because SHE TRULY KNOWS how much this means to our status. We have a daughter on the way, and nothing makes me feel more secure about our future than passing this test, because our future is practically riding on the contengency of me passing (STRESSFUL BUT TRUE).
I've realized that, though it may appear that in life some peoples success is on the elevator, I believe it was meant for us to take the stairs. It was meant for us to receieve our blessing at a slower pace, therefore, taking it all in, and understanding the reasons. I can't understand some of the recent upsets she and I have been faced with, but I'm positive that the God we serve is at the helm of it all. With that said, I'm comfortable with those upsets (don't mean I'm happy about them), because I know in time he's going to reveal to us the reason behind them all. God is the creator and the author of it all, and one thing he doesn't subscribe to, is confusion. Confused we are not, because he has organized every blessing, and is handing them to us all, on his own time. Remember, it's his will, not our own. GOD BLESS!!!!

A River Everflowing!

Sooooooooooo!

The Kanye West song states "WHEN IT ALL FALLS DOWN". I feel as though I'm having one of those moments right now. I cant imagine why, but it seems that way. Trying to sift through the debris and the fog of it all, so I can see clearly again. At any rate, these are just my thoughts. Thoughts that I'm assuming will lift me freely to where I need to be. I often wonder to myself, how strange it iz "what a day may bring". We truly are just living this life, nothing is certain, and we have to make adjustments when the curve balls come our way. Its scary at times, but thats just the way it is. Life is crucial, every corner we turn has a surprise, both good and bad, and the way we deal with the way these issues come at us is assisting us in building character, for both ourselves, and our families.

It may not be what you want to hear when youre bombarded with the storms of life, that seem to come through and blow down all your plans and dreams, but its truly the way it is. Think on that, and understand that understanding HAS TO come from your lowest moments. It's in those moments that you are aware of how to get through it all. When you look back, you should be able to say WOWW, I DID THAT!!!!!

HELLO WORLD!!!!

Well hello out there readers, onlookers, ground movers, etc. I come to you today with a challenge. In a sense, I've been one to step out and defy all the laws that nay sayers have put against me. In the same breath, I feel like I shouldve had so much more for myself at my age, or maybe I just want more than most. I wanted to be an anastesiologist when I was a child, can you believe that. I was so fascinated with the fact that I could put a human being to sleep in order for them to go through surgery etc. Somewhere along the line Im sure I got discouraged once I realized how much math this job would entale. I often wished I wouldve pursued it, but since I didnt, I guess I've moved on. At any rate, I guess my moral would be to go after your dreams because you dont want to look back over your life and say, "wouldve couldve shouldve"
