Freedom!

It's amazing! I don't have to go to Red Robin and work tonight... or ever! Thank you JESUS for the Freedom that focusing on my career provides! I'm in it! Real Estate is my profession now (even though I'm still waiting of the FBI to pass my background check). Now I at least have time to devote to studying the book some more and getting ready to pass the tests. Also, I have time to really poor into my career there and give it my all! Not only that, Katie and I will have the weekends TOGETHER! That is HUGE! We just realized that we were only married 3.5 Months before we took on extra jobs in order to pay down our debt! Was it worth it? Yes!, but we really miss each other! Not only that, we feel that we have also missed valuable time with the Lord! It was tough when we had to work so late and got home so late and got to bed so late to wake up early and spend time with our Heavenly Father in the morning. I can tell you, many days, we just chose not to. That had a larger affect on our marriage than working two jobs did! That is forsure!

A few days ago I found a podcast: Love Worth Finding Ministries with Dr. Adrian Rogers who has now passed away. I listened to the message: How to Have a More Meaningful Quiet Time and it has REALLY blessed mine and Katie's life! Please click the link and have a listen!

For a couple of days now, Katie and I have been following some of his recomindations and it has really blessed our lives. Acutally this morning I'm writting on the blog to help wake me up before I dig into the word.

In our community group, we are studying 1 John so Katie and I are reading in 1 John and meditating on it every morning. We also look in the Psalms & Proverbs as Dr. Rogers suggested. There are 5 Questions that he ask when reading & meditating on scripture:
1. Is there a Command to Obey?
2. Is there a Promise to Claim?
3. Is there a Sin to Avoid?
4. Is there a Lesson to Learn?
5. Is there a New Truth to Carry with me?
These 5 questions help illuminate the passage to greater understanding and use in our everyday lives.

Well, that is it for me. I need to get the day started. I have several friends who "blog" now and in the next post I will highlight my friends who are in missions blogging around the world! I'll also link to many of them over on the side.
The Blog will be changing soon!!! Don't let it bother you if things are scrambled up here and there! I'll get it under control!
