12 Hours in the Day to Work

I made a commitment a couple months back. I signed a lease on an apartment for one whole year. It's significant because not only does this mean that I'll be living in LA for the whole next year but that I will need to pay about $445.00 every month to live there. From August 2010 - August 2011.

I am posting this on my blog as a sort of self-motivation to myself. Self-motivation to myself because I don't have a job. Which means I don't have any steady income.

Jesus has provided for me graciously over the last couple months through short stints as an apartment manager and traveling cook. But now I'm wanting to pursue a job by faith.

I'm asking God to provide a job that would somehow bring honor to the great Name of Jesus Christ. Also a job that I would enjoy doing, that would give me the satisfaction of laboring and earning my own living. Preferably I'd like to work at an organization that serves spanish speaking immigrants, or perhaps a job at an auto store, or an organization that provides counseling services, or an organization that provides legal services, or being a school teacher, or working.

As I look at this list of potential jobs that I would love to do, I think about how I am strongly considering entering graduate school or theological school very soon. And I have been thinking that it could be good for me to look through university catalogs to look at the different branches of study and professions.

So these are some great thoughts to get me started. Thank You J!

Only One Life Twill Soon be Past and Only What is Done For Christ will Last

Only One Life – C.T. Studd By Charles Thomas Studd, Missionary to China, India, and Africa Two little lines I heard one day, Traveling along life’s busy way; Bringing conviction to my heart, And from my mind would not depart; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last. Only one life, yes only one, Soon will its fleeting hours be done; Then, in ‘that day’ my Lord to meet, And stand before His Judgment seat; Only one life,’ twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last. Only one life, the still small voice, Gently pleads for a better choice Bidding me selfish aims to leave, And to God’s holy will to cleave; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last. Only one life, a few brief years, Each with its burdens, hopes, and fears; Each with its clays I must fulfill, living for self or in His will; Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last. When this bright world would tempt me s...

The Gospel in India

Gospel for Asia is a ministry whose primary aim is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with those who have never before heard His name. Check out this inspiring website: http://www.gfa.org/ Particularly on my mind and heart are the Aug. 08 killings of Christian believers in the India's western state of Orissa.500 were left dead and thousands homeless. Pray for boldness and strength for these Indian believers who continue to trust in God in the face of evil.

Running for Three

When I was boy of eight or nine years old I played in a local basketball league in my town of Madera, California. At that time in my life my biggest dream was to be John Paxson from the Chicago Bulls getting the ball dished off to him from Michael Jordan in the last few seconds of the NBA Finals to drain the championship winning three pointer. I will never forget that in eager anticipation on certain nights before my game, I would imagine that there in the bleachers the next day would be three invisible spectators overjoyed to cheer me on. I would see the popcorn floating at chest level as it they watched over me. These three spectators were God Almighty, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit and it was a reminder that the Lord is always with me. Today when I arrived at the usual spot for morning prayer at 7:05am, there were three sofa chairs in the space beneath the stairs of the student dorms and dining hall, empty. It reminded me of my thoughts as a kid. And it reminded of th...
