The last couple of weeks have been busy and somewhat chaotic. Between the usual things that keep one busy like work and other things parents do, it has also been a stressful time on the job as my day job had a big company wide “Resource Optimization” , or lay off last week and as predicted, it did impact my department. I did not lose my job, but it will be impacted as I am now the only person doing what I do. Lets just say that the new year will be an interesting one….

Going through the busy-ness of the Christmas holiday season and the stress it can bring, along with that of the economic stress, layoffs and all of that, I found that sometimes we get so caught up in worrying about buying this or that, or am I going to have a job, that we tend to lose sight of what God has in store for us. It’s an easy thing to say (or write) but a hard thing to do.

I rediscovered a song that always speaks to me, and when I get stressed I think about me and what I am going to do. This song always grounds me and reminds me that this day is a gift from God, and that if I am truly successful, by doing God’s work, I will be remembered as someone that used my gifts for the Kingdom, not just as an average working class guy that had a radio show and a blog.
