W32D3: Heading into mid-week, 🐫Day, Is the up, the down, or the top? November 20, 2024
Here we are at the mid-point of another week and still not clear answers or direction. Still applying, still networking, and still waiting for that next role in my tech world career. When you think of mid-week do you see it as a ramp up? Or does mid-week symbolize the peak or top of the […]
W32D2: Is it in the list? Does it exist yet? What’s it going to take? November 19, 2024
As I start morning it opened up with a lot of questions based on my past experiences. Of the list of places I’ve applied, is it to be one of them? Might it be the job doesn’t exist yet similar to the swap when I got the get out of the boat message in Feb […]
W32D1: Waiting and remembering God’s Faithfulness. November 18, 2024
This weekend was one that reminded me of the many miracles God has orchestrated to build up our faith as a church as we came to a point yesterday of celebrating paying off the mortgage. Remembering the small body coming up with the impossible money to keep the process going because God had built up […]
W31D7: What is the start, and did I start labeling/counting wrong? November 17, 2024
If Wednesday is the middle of the week or Humpday then it means in a 7-day week we need 3 days before and after which would make Sunday day 1 not Monday. I was basing my labeling as starting to look for work on that first Monday which makes sense and yet today the idea […]
W31D6: It’s important not to go into battle alone… November 16, 2024
As the morning begins, I reflect on the people who came up to me sharing how they’ve been praying for me and my job search. They are all prayer warriors and are taking up my case before the throne of God. It’s not just me trying to find a job, asking God to help in […]
W31D5: To finish strong requires walking out God’s Word and leading with Love November 15, 2024
Are you ready to finish the week strong? Let’s make sure we are walking out God’s Word in what we think, say, and do. Let’s leave every conversation and situation with others feeling filled up rather than emptied out. Let’s allow the Spirit of God to fill us to overflowing so we can pour into […]
W31D4: When the order isn’t as expected, then what? November 14, 2024
It’s an interesting question and idea to ponder. Talking about it with friends and colleagues keeps the question live and active. I turn back to what God’s Word has to say, “lean not on your own understanding”, “trust in the Lord with all your heart”, and “acknowledge Him, and He will show you the path […]
W31D3: Ever woken up with a “this is going to be a good day” type of feeling? November 13, 2024
Up early again but with a “this is going to be a good day” type of feeling. Not sure exactly why but trusting God’s plan and timing to bring it to fruition. Last week I questioned what Humpday would be like but today it just feels different and it’s only 6am. Showered, dressed, walk and […]
W31D2: Know when to Live in the Joy of the Lord? November 12, 2024
It’s every day that ends in day. That includes yesterday and today. It includes every day of the week. We wake up with breath in our lungs and it gives us the ability to rejoice and be glad in it. So, let’s make the most of what we have and put our trust in God, […]
W31D1: Let’s Remember the sacrifice as we head into this week… November 11, 2024
It’s Monday morning, in the US it’s called Veterans Day in Canada Remembrance Day in both cases it’s a time to remember those who serve and have served and given so much so that we could live. They both trace back to Armistice Agreement that ended World War I on November 11, 1918, at the […]
