| Well it's been over a year since I last posted. The past year has haed it's ups and downs. I tried to get into seminary, was rejected. My wife became pregnant. I could not find a job that paid the bills. Moved twice. Had conflict with a landlord. I am currently managing at the Wendy's in Owego, delievering papers in Apalachin, and still unable to make ends meet. God has provided in many ways, but it also seems that the little things he is providing are not helping us with the big things we are dealing with. I guess I'm just asking for a shot of hope today, that's all. -til next time Pete | | |
| I really don't know what to write. I have been thinking about New Years resolutions, I know it's a little late but I tend to obsess about things so thinking about resolutions becomes a six month event. Some things I do know I want to improve. 1. I want to develop a deeper and more consistent devotional life. 2. I want to become healthier. This includes losing weight, improving my diet, and consistently exercising. 3. I want to become more financially responsible. I guess you could call those resolutions, but from the idea stage to the practice stage that's another story. | | |
| Some things that have changed since I got married: 1. I enjoy listening to country music. 2. I am taking all my asthma medications, which now equal three, regularly. 3. I finally talked to my Dr. about my anxitey disorder (hope his advise and the prescription work). 4. I have a reason to come home after work and no longer spend half the night at Wal-Mart and Denny's. The one thing that hasn't changed; 1. I'm still broke. Til next time- Pete | | |
| God amazes me sometimes. God has this wonderful sense of irony that he keeps using in my life to heal me and to get my attention. Today, five days before I get married, I got a call today from a girl I knew from summer camp. ( for a background into my connection with this girl please see blog titled "Guilty Conscience"). She had actually called my Dad's house and left a phone number which he called to give to me. With Dawn's urging I called her and we spoke for about 20 minutes. I found out she's doing fine. It was very healing to know that my behavior didn't ruin her. I now can get married with a clean conscience. Til next time - Pete | | |
| Today was payday and with the exception of $20 Dawn and I used to buy lunch I saw none of my paycheck. In fact truthfully there was more bills than paycheck. This has me a little frustrated for two reasons.
1. The fact that I am not able at this time to get another paying job or work any overtime for another month.
2. The fact that I know that left to my own devices I would have continued to not pay some bills and squander the rest on something frivolous in order to comfort myself about my situation.
In short not only am I to blame for it, but I am also powerless to do anything to improve my situation. Both my earning potential and discipline at this time are limited. Please pray that God will keep teaching me to trust Him. I have a tendency to look at the situation and how "screwed" I am and forget who God is. Til next time Pete
