Greetings to all and hoping all are managing the best they can. Hold it together for the next step in the fight. Don’t give up.
Today started with the blessing of feeding 4 gray squirrels and more chipmunks than I could count and one fired up red squirrel while enjoying my morning coffee. Been prepping to go lighter for a spell as I want to do some exploring both on and off of Cape Cod over the next few weeks while I am hunting for a place to live. There are a lot of appointments that need to be made and gone too as well. All in Gods time, health and the weather allow.
Had a great bike ride. Every ride on the Cape so far has been great. Closing in on 1000 miles ridden since I arrived in the middle of May. And those miles were with 2+ weeks of sciatica really bad in my left hip on top of all my “normal” daily pains. Still plugged through best I could. No opiates. Just over counter acetaminophen and ibuprofen and good old quality sativa with the right mix of pain and inflammation fighting profile. Much more on the helps and harms of marijuana as we go. And I am still learning. Every day. Not just on this subject but anything history and mechanical and I am a sucker to learn about it.
So. This post. The saga with my missing Samsung cell phone that was lost almost 2 weeks ago continues. I have been fighting to get it all straightened out. Fighting not the right word. Attempting to overcome hurdle after hurdle to get it straightened out. Shut off until I get phone, a new phone or cancel it all together. It has been over an hour of time and 4 phone calls so far and I am very little in progress of getting my Mint Mobile phone number active in my hands.
Through all of this God is working. On me. In major ways. Refining taken to a new level never seen before in my walk with The Lord that began 35 years ago on a Christmas Eve at St. Johns Evangelical Lutheran Church in Honesdale PA. And the key to it all has been obedience and faithfulness to His written word and promptings of the Holy Spirit.
I have not lost it totally. Beginning not to allow my frustrations burn to anger and harsh words not meant in any direction or that bring any good to a situation. Ever. Ever. Have I been perfect. By no means. But getting better at seeing it. Facing it. Realizing the roots of some of my frustrations and angers. Healing all the way. Little by little the cycle of depression thrust upon me the past 6 months seems to be lifting. Lifting to the point where I can concentrate and once again touch on my creative side and try and tackle all that needs to be done to get this move and new beginning completed.
So, as I end this I want to say I have to do all the paperwork that is part of moving to another state. That I hope to get completed over the next 2 weeks while also trying to find a place to live and start my business up. On top of that there is a home church to find and a Pastor to sit under and this nagging desire and vision for a very special non profit and Camp. A camp that will change lives.
That is another blog. Another day. May you find peace in whatever place you are in. Whether it be chaos or a bad day at work. Find peace where you are at. He has a name. Yeshua.
God bless you all. Keep on keeping on.
Respectfully, me
