Thursday February 15

Well today brings work news..... yesterday my work made an organizational decision and fired my supervisor, Scott who will be missed. Not only does that change the dynamics of our workplace but it postpones my announcement that I am leaving. I was 'hoping' to be able to start telling people on Friday, tomorrow, but the co-owner of my company requested that I wait for their cue before announcing anything. Its agony really....I will really miss this place and feel valued.
Financially I am now at 2500 which is just over the half way point for my goal. I know I still have a need but am counting on God to pull through this next month with the rest of the finances.
Did anyone notice we got hit with the snow this week? Brrrr... my saving grace was knowing that i would be serving God on the ISLANDS in just over one month....
I guess my thought for the day is a quote from Desmond Tutu:
"Without forgiveness, there is no future."
Taking that a step further than the humanitarian implication is the truth found that without God's forgiveness there is no everlasting life. A life without the hope of heaven is dreadful enough but a life without the hope of being in the presence of God is far worse. Im thankful for a merciful God, that without exceptions grants His forgiveness and fellowship on those who ask. I love this verse in 1 Timothy that expresses Paul's thankful heart towards our God who forgives graciously
1 Timothy 1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
