I
guess that y'all can tell that I am enjoying my getting older. I post things that are changing with
every situation that can be imagined. Today is not going to be any
different than usual, because I am headed into uncharted territory. I
have never been this old before, and in the place that I am at right
now. Everyday is a brand new day with new challenges to over come.
Can't we all say the same thing about our own lives? I guess it is
all in the way that we look at it.
I
spend a lot of time at the library simply because I want to use my
mind until the day that it gives up on me. I want to continue to
learn new things, and be able to apply that knowledge to enhance the
quality of my life. There are new technologies coming out everyday,
and I need to at least know about what of they consist. Plus, I don't
want to grow to be an old fuddy duddy that is so ignorant that he
can't even hold a conversation any more. Do you know folks like that?
It is really a sad situation.
I
can done tell my body is giving out. Just common sense would tell a
person that by just watching the way that I move. Although, I have
not given up yet, but I think that my working days have come to a
screeching halt. I plan to file for my disability tomorrow. I am
going to go to legal aide, and get me a lawyer right off the bat. I
have looked into filing for myself, and it just seems to be too much
confusion involved. It might take forever with out a lawyer, and I
will probably need to get one before it is over. They are not going
to charge any more if I get them at the beginning or the end.
I
crossed another milestone today. I went to the housing authority, and
applied for section 8 housing. I have never in my life used the
Government to get a place to live. I know that it will be in a less
than desirable area here in Jax, but it will be my own place, as long
as the rent remains paid. I ain't even gonna quote the ridiculously
low price that the rent will be. It might be like that all over the
country, but like I said this is my first time. I know the area where
I will be, and the situation is not all that bad. Maybe it is because
I have been in the mission for almost two years? I really think that
has a lot to do with it, and because it is time to move on, and use
my new tools that I learned while I was there.
I
can't make it without God in my life. I also need to get more active
in my church. Those two things I can't live without!! Without Jesus
in my life I tend to walk by my own ways. Which means that I have no
control or direction. It is not the way that I want to live ever
again, and by the grace of God I will never have to live that way!!
Right now,.........Today,.......I can accept my life just the way it
is, because I know that it will not stay this way.
I
am looking forward to the adventures that my life will take on in my
future. I know that everything will not be a piece of cake. I know
that my past life karma still has a few things to drop in my lap. I
still have somethings to face, but it ain't nothing that Jesus, and
myself can't handle. I am looking forward to writing this little
blog. The whole purpose of writing this is to head folks in the
direction of Jesus. I am not worried about hitting the big numbers of
those that read my blog. I am looking for those to read it that can
take a hold of it, and change their life. If just one finds Jesus my
time will have been well spent!!
…............Much love
