FROM DUCKS TO TURKEY

 

Sorry that I haven't posted in a while.....I have been rather down and out.....well......not really.....sort of.......out of routine......well like.....not being connected.....honestly I don't what I have been.....just no ME!!!

I haven't been working since around the 21st of October and I have spent that time....looking for a job.....and spending lots of time reflecting on me, my life, priorities, commitments, my relationship with God.....kind of like a sabbatical of sorts. It has been good and it has been bad....probably more good than bad but there were struggles as I reflected on God's will in my life. 

 

I am happy to say I now have a job....starting on Monday I will be working at Prosperity Bank as a Floater. I will be working as a teller and working in new accounts. I will be traveling to area branch offices working when they have people out. I am looking forward to meeting lots of people and being back in the banking world. Most of all I am looking forward to seeing what God has in-store for this new journey.

 

Those of you that have read my blog for very long know that I am a huge fan of Ducky Dynasty and the Robertsons. I have read all their books. I appreciate their commitment to the Lord and to their family.....two things that I hold dear to my heart.....striving to keep Lord the center of my life and being there for my family.

 

On November 1st Ken and I met our youngest daughter and her friend at Chuy's in Fort Worth. After dinner we went downtown to the Convention Center to hear Phil Robertson and his son Alan speak. We were surprised to see Miss Kay, as she came along on the trip to Fort Worth and made a brief appearance.

 

                                                       

 

Alan spoke first and I was a little disappointed that his time as well as Phil's was controlled by an emcee that asked questions. Miss Kay came on stage between Alan's time and Phil's time. It was a lot of fun to see and hear them speak.

 

 

I realized that when listening to Phil and Alan answer questions, they took every opportunity to speak of God and His saving grace. Phil particularly spoke of God's love and His sacrifice of Jesus for our sins.It was like they couldn't wait to talk about their love for God......something that I really need to work on. It was evident in everything they said and referred to.

 

After the Ducks spoke, Matthew West performed. It was really a great night!!!

For Thanksgiving my brother and his family came to our house and all four of our kids and their families where at our house on Thanksgiving Day. We made lots of memories and ate way more than we should have. 

 

 

After the Cowboy game, Linley, Lukas, Cooper, Kamryn and myself went to see Penguins of Madagascar. Cute movie and we had so much fun!!

Well this brings me up to date. Even though over the last six weeks I have struggled while taking a step back and looking at who I was and was my will inline with God's will, I feel extremely blessed!!!

From my corner of the world....feeling thankful!!!!
