Reflections

My holiday has gone quite well and was overwhemled by the gifts I received from both my family and my girlfriend's family. More importantly, I got to spend to spend some quality time with family and got to see a little of area I used to live. I also got to reflect on the reason for the season and to explore more Christian spiritually. I have been studying the Minor Prophets of the Old Testament as well as some New Testament letters.

As the year draws to a close I look back and I feel very blessed. The move was successful and have adjusted quite well. I found a job within six weeks and even though it was very from enjoyable it kept me afloat and helped me explore my "sweet spot". I am also dating a wonderful woman and we heading very close to one year of dating. More importantly, my faith was rejuvenated this year and I seek a greater relationship with the Lord.

What does next year hold for me. I am jobless right now but it is probably for the best as I get to explore some options. I also get to continue my walk with Him and find out His will for my life. I am nervous yet excited to see what 2007 holds in store for me. I will be an interesting road to travel.

Some Poetry

I found this one is Our Daily Bread:

Lo, how a Rose e'er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
Of Jesse's lineage coming
As men of old have sung
It came, a Floweret bright,
Amid the cold of winter
When half-spent was the night

Remember The Reason For The Season

Here is a couple of verses to remember for this Christmas season:

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, Which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city David a Saviour which is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:10-11

My Holidays So Far

I'm back home for the holidays with my girlfriend. We will be going to see her parents on Christmas eve and Christmas day. I already received a couple presents with one being the movie The Passion Of The Christ. The weather has been unseasonal as it feels a lot like spring. Anyways, I'm enjoying myself so far and am loking forward to Christmas.

A Word On Family

This is part of an e-mail I received recently:

FAMILY
Are you aware that if we died tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than into our own family, an unwise investment indeed, don't you think? So what is behind the story? Do you know what the word


FAMILY means? FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU

The Latest in Life

I have been busy lately as I went to a wedding last Saturday and went back home last weekend. i also went to my girlfriend's work Christmas party which went well. Work has been boring and I'm waiting for the ax to fall as the season is almost over. In the meantime it looks like it will be a busy time as we get to Christmas with our respective families. There shall be some good times ahead.

This Past Week zZZZZ

This was a rather boring week for me. I work four days and during those four days I had little to do. My girlfriend was out of town as well. I defintely have to find some hobbies to keep myself busy and get out of the winter doldrums as well.
