Struggles

December 15th is fast approaching me. It is the date that I would have been done with my 6 month managerial training at Kmart. I left a good paying job at Kmart to be a part of this church plant. So now I'm dirt poor and satan keeps reminding me that it didn't have to be this way. This is the most important thing in my life right now, make no mistake about it, but it has been a difficult journey. A friend of mine pointed me to a website of an organization that he has recently become a part of, enablenow.org. On their front page they have a scripture that relates to what I've been feeling and going through right now.

"If I'm too full, I might get independent, saying 'God? Who needs him?' If I'm poor, I might steal and dishonor the name of my God, therefore this I ask of you, O Lord; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread."
-The Prayer of Solomon

Which is really all I can ask for. Daily bread. Anything else is something that can be given to those far more needy than me. And trust me, those people are all around us. Not just in our community, but all over the world.

Thanks for reading,
