No Matter What You Can To

Things have been busy in our house. With the change in job status I’m always looking and checking with myself “what haven’t I done or what can I do better”. I’ve been e mailing and talking to people I know getting the word out so if they hear of things they think of me. Writing my resume, most of my jobs I’ve gotten have been because they called me, not the other way around. A friend of mine called me yesterday and asked how I was doing? I told him well I have great friends like you calling, and I’m still getting results form my e mails and phone calls. It’s only been 3 business days, and a couple of the things that have come up really intrigue me and I see myself doing them. I’ll stay the course and keep working and looking for an opportunity.

I believe I’ve mentioned in previous post that I meet with some men every Monday morning. We read passages in the bible, journal about what it meant to each of us. We then share those thoughts with each other. One of the guys Steve was struck by Peter and the change in him in Acts. Previous to Acts he was impetuous, quick to react (usually the wrong way). *He even cut a dudes ear off, which Jesus had to put back on. Jesus said to him “Peter I will build my church on you”. In effect and as history showed later it cam e true. In Rome I believe there’s a church named St. Peters Basilica. But when crunch time came for Peter to step up he denied know Jesus **3 times, even swearing that he didn’t know Jesus. After that event he was lower than whale poop, I’ve felt that have you?. But them he’s filled with the Holy Spirit, and all heaven breaks loose.

During my quiet time this morning I was reading my bible in Acts Chapter 5. about Peter again, and people are bringing sick people in the street waiting for Peter’s shadow to land on them as he walks by so they can be healed. WOW this was a very short time after Peter’s what could be called his lowest point in his life denying Jesus. Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit and he had the power and courage to get back up and make a huge impact on the world. I’m encouraged by reading this and I have hope.

You can have the same hope and Peter and I do.
