Back to Blogging...

...And we're back! Sorry for the lack of entries as of late, my very important assignment at work this past week (one which I decided to perform heartily unto the Lord) was to organize and execute a scavenger hunt in Disneyland for a recruiting event held at the Grand Californian Hotel for the firm that I work for.

Yes I know, it was a tough week of work (I actually had to be at Disneyland all day on Friday).

I know that many of you are wondering which picture has been decided to be prominently placed above the dish rack in my kitchen (no it isn't the one pictured above). Well, the answer is the Trail to the Placerita Waterfall. Many of you may wonder how this photograph was chosen when it did not seem to receive the most votes. Well, it was kind of a weighted-average voting system and Cory voted Placerita Waterfall. Thus I am going to be placing my order at Samsclub.com (of which I am a member) and it will be delivered to my apartment shortly!

Some thoughts for today's post....(totally random)

Who is doing better in their brackets- Billy or Matt Rehrer?

With the help of my parents and Ken Flower- I successfully cooked Tri Tip on my grill this weekend (It was good).

Proverbs 16:9- "The mind of a man plans his way, but the Lord directs His steps."

I was thinking about this verse today as I sat in my cube. I am at a point in my life where direction has become something that I think greatly about. The overall direction of course is pursuing the Lord and His glory, but the sub-direction of that is not yet clear.

I am at a point where there is the possibility of opportunities opening up that I would love, opportunities that would lead more guidance to that direction. However, God has not chosen to make those opportunities available quite yet. I have sought to be wise and seek much counsel and plan, but here is the point- whether I walk in Rainbow Sandals (as pictured above) in brown dress shoes (that I am wearing right now) I want the Lord to direct me. I don't want the course of my life to be mine.

The answer to which direction my life will take at least in the short term is not in my hands right now, it is in the Lords. It is comforting to know that as long as my desire is to serve and glorify the Lord, whatever direction He chooses will be the best.

I must go now, but please join with me in praying that God would make his direction clear.

Blakey, out.
