The Life:

Being married has brought us some great adventures. I don’t think I could have asked for a better gift from God other than the sight of Heaven. I come home everyday to my best friend and I get the pleasure of spending the rest of my life with her. This is the life. I can not say that I miss the single life. Coming home to an empty house with no conversation is really dull. I can not say I ever had a social life outside of my wife. I love just being able to spend time with her and loving on her.

The Word:

1 Peter 5:8 “Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [ [Marvin Vincent, Word Studies.] in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.” AMP

The more I have prayed on it, the more that the Holy Spirit has told me that it is time to start watching what I say and do around others.

Proverbs 13:3 “He who guards his mouth keeps his life, but he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.” AMP

Matthew 15:11 “It is not what goes into the mouth of a man that makes him unclean and defiled, but what comes out of the mouth; this makes a man unclean and defiles [him].” AMP

I am finding that I have let my guard down too low and now I am being attacked. Many people don’t understand why I had my guard up in the first place but when it is down, I tend to believe others easily and am more vulnerable to what they say and do. I am so blessed that I don’t have to have my guard up for my wife. She is so trusting and caring when it comes to knowing what I have been trying to do well. I am a talker and most people get that. I am very outspoken and love to make people laugh. However, I am noticing that I am not helping my professional and spiritual life. I am getting a lot of my professional peers treating me like a child and I am not amused by it. I am a grown, married man who is hard working and caring. Am I bragging? No. It is a gift that God has given me to be caring and responsive to those in need along with being funny. Now I am having to build my guard back up at work and not let so much of my personality back out. I thought it would help to be always smiling and always cracking the joke. But when it comes back to being the butt of the jokes, I am not amused. Holy Spirit brought the Proverbs to my attention today and I realized that I have to be on my guard with my mouth.

The Job:

As you can tell above, my job has not been all that easy since we have been back. My doctor I work for has been very snippy with me lately. I haven’t been able to do anything right and i have a feeling that it is because I have been trying way too hard at regaining my desk back from my leave. In that, my guard went back up and now my professionalist side has to be revealed...oh, I hate that. I love cracking jokes with my patients. I hate that now I have to be all professional. Oh well.

The Money:
Malachi 3:10 "Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it." NIV

It seems that God has been dipping into our account and adding to it. For those who are not tithers....get over it. Sara and I are living proof it this. Since we have been married, we have not had to touch her paycheck and I don’t make very much on my own. I was barely making in this time last year. Heck, I was barely making it this time two months ago. Sara has always tithed. I didn’t start tithing until July of last year and have missed once. Did it show back up right then and there? No. I wish it had. But we were more than blessed later on. For those who poo-poo the idea, it’s time to buck up. If you go to church and reap the benefits of the Word of God and listen to the worship and you don’t tithe, you are no better than the person who comes in and swears. Am I wrong? “But I can’t afford it.” I am going to say this once, you can’t afford not to tithe. He gives it back people. We are living testimonies of it.

The Blogs:

Though I love to blog, they will become few. I am making an effort to do so once a week to keep those who live far away and are family posted but I love my wife more than the internet.

The Bed:

Stop thinking that you perve. We bought a new bed Saturday and are waiting on it to come. It is so comfortable. We needed it because we can’t both fit comfortable on the one we are borrowing from Jean and Joel. So, Jean and Joel, you will be getting yours back soon. Thank you for helping me (now us) out. :)

The End:

Now that you have been updated on this, thank you for reading. If you disagree with what I said, then you are entitled to your opinion...read the Word while you think on this.
