Life today not tomorrow

Sorry it's been so long. Between a move,  surgery,  and the long recovery from surgery (5+months and counting),  I would say that this post is long overdue.  Moved about 20 minutes from my job,  which worked out for me.  Surgery was elective to repair damage from a broken ankle 10+ years ago.  Recovery was going good until I put weight on it and end up with stress fractures (yes you can say ouch).

I am truly blessed to have my life. However,  today my heart is heavy for those who are going to be laid off at my work. Especially since we don't know how far this cut will take us and how long before another round will occur. It will be sad to see many coworkers let go during this downturn in the energy sector (I won't get into the political side saving that for Twitter).

I leave you with a word. Faith.
Faith in God is the only thing that can either make you or break you.  It is at times of trial that your faith in Christ should shine even brighter. It is times of despair that the only name on the tongue should be Christ. Not in cursing but in reaching out. The lips can say a name so casually but the heart and mind holds the truth.

For those wondering around looking for a reason to hope,  He is there.  There is a popular song with the words, "say my name,  say my name"  He is waiting with baited breath for you to say His name.
