My Goodness It Has Been A While!

Let's face it if you keep a blog it can sometimes feel like it is keeping you.  And then there are those times when you are not doing anything at all with it and it of course cannot do anything with you.

Yes it has been a while since I wrote a blog post.  There has been a lot happening in the news.  I have started more aggressively seeking gainful employment.  At first I was coasting along thinking something will come.  I have put out enough resumes.  Then there was a long bout I think I really became discouraged.

I have had a lot of the same issues I see others have had as well.  For a long spell my mother's health wasn't the best.  Who can concentrate when really the only person you have in your corner when everything else is going down hill.

I think I have had a hard time keeping up with everything I lost and really living stressed and depressed over everything I am about to lose.  But at some point the discouragement has to stop.  Enough is enough already.  I am really past ready to move on.

Over the past three weeks, knock on wood my mother's health has been where she has not needed my assistance.  No longer did I need to be around all day everyday.  She even got to the point where she said I don't need no one here.  Great, trust and believe you don't need to say that to me twice for me to get it.

Her condition is astonishing.  A disease can have complete and total control over you as it sees fit.  Well as you probably know if you live along the east coast we had two very awful weeks of weather.  It was snowing then the roads were horrible because the first major snow fell on a holiday weekend.  The children in the area were out of school for almost two weeks.

My son asked me ma why haven't I seen you in two weeks.  It took every self-constraint in me to say because I was stuck in the house and the only son I have didn't come to shovel the snow out of my driveway so I could get my happy behind out.  Then he would have said you wouldn't have a car to drive if it wasn't for me.  Oh well, life goes on.

Now fast forward to a few weeks ahead.  I am pumped, rested, and hit the job circuit heavy again.  i went to a hiring event.  I had a couple of phone interviews.  I was setting my schedule up for hitting the ground hard.  Then what happens you didn't guess it so I'll tell you.  I am in transportation less mode again.  I was coming to the office the evening after I left being on the grind trying to find a job.  I haven't had a closing in a while.  And I see where my emails and phone calls are still being intercepted so the chances look slimmer of my getting to a closing table any time soon.  I keep the faith because storms don't last always.  I am going to weather this I was born on one of the stormiest days ever in the 757.

The car I had been driving was totaled.  I am in so much pain but that is a total whole another story.
As I am in pain and can't do much of anything worth while I will have more time to blog.

Pray this omen off me someone.  I feel days like someone has rooted me.  I feel like they got me from the rooter to the tooter.  I am tired of being broke so pray financial increase on me.  And please pray healing on me.  Pray all good and wholesome things.

I am pressing on minute by minute, day by day, and hour by hour because I know who holds the power.  This too shall pass.

Until you hear from me again which hopefully will be more sooner than later help pray me through it.  I am really going through some stuff.  We all have a purpose even if we don't live it we have a purpose driven mission in this world.  Two words "stay encouraged is all I need to hear sometimes.

God Bless!
