4 Days since God stepped in and shut the door on me...

or is it?

4 Days since Jesus came down grabbed my hand and open the door for more?

I'm sitting here at my laptop, finally getting started on one of the callings I've felt God has placed on my life. To share. For many years, I've taken from others their lives experiences and given back none. Please understand this has never been from a lack of desire. Inside me burned and churned the desire to share my life and God's amazing ability to change things. From time to time, my life would find God's hand grabbing me and my family up so violently I would be forced to let go of would ever I was holding on to and hold tight to Him. We are here again.

And...

We are not alone.

Yesterday, I found myself for the first time of my life walking towards the walls of the Georgia Department of Labor Career Center. Amazingly enough, there were other people there. Many people. Searching for jobs on the computers of the Career Center's self help areas. They were taking classes on how to build resumes and waiting for information on special Federal Bonding Programs. Then their was the group I fell into, those waiting for the introductory class on Unemployment Insurance Benefits. The class was full and the next class was building. Everyone had the same look on their face. "I can't believe I'm here". For some it was a more defined look, like, "I can't believe I'm here again". Nevertheless, we had a unique bond between all of us. Get in and Get out.

While I was there, I was listening to the stories of Paul being thrust from Jerusalem, Rome, to Malta, to God knows where on my IPod.


This is different...
