When I Was.....

For some reason I just started thinking about when I was younger. You see I was praying and I thought about wisdom, understanding and knowledge. Earlier tonight we were reading from the book of Proverbs and it said 'get wisdom', get understanding and I just thought to myself when I was younger I had no type of understanding. For example when I was around nine or ten years old I figured I knew a lot about life and so I would read those teen magazines and it would have articles about questions and answers--like ask Jill and etc. well I would read these questions and the questions would be about boyfriends and school and I would think to myself "boy these are some real silly kids!" You see it didn't accrue to me that soon I would be right in their shoes in say another 5 or 6 years. Back then I tended to know about the basic necessary life stuff, like how to get good grades in school. It never accrued to me that these teens were going through puberty, chemical changes, social adjustments and identity crises. I just didn't understand until I went through it myself. I think God and Jesus really heard my comments and what I said to myself when I read those articles. As I look back at how I used to be I really thank the Lord that He got involved in my life. I know I have a long way to go, just because of my thinking and my actions but I pray that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit stay involved in our lives.

God bless

Well life for our house hold has just gotten very busy. I decided to go back to school. You may be thinking what in the world? Going back to school at this point in time? Well it is all very simple. Since I graduated with a top degree and have been out there for almost a year looking for work it all of the sudden came to me...'in order to get your foot in the door of a really great company you may need to be acquainted with someone who already has their foot in the office'. You see while I was hacking away at my studies and taking all of those test it never acured to me that 'I should be getting to know people that are already doing the type of work I really want to do'. For some reason I just thought that after I graduated some great job would just come my way. Boy was my thinking wrong. I get the impression that that was a classic mistake. Ok I could go on and on and around and around and so on and so on but why waste time.

I'm thinking you have to envision where you want to be in life, like where do you see yourself six months from now? or a year from now? You have to set goals, big and small in time increments... six months, a year, two years, five years..you get the point. I think there is a lot to be said for goal setting. I once heard that out of a group of students of a class from Harvard or Yale graduated and did pretty well for themselves but out of the class there were the top 3% that did very well for themselves, as a matter of fact this top 3% earned more income then the whole class because they set and attained goals.
