I have to admit thats where I lost it, chasing the almighty dollar. I still don't know if the job was an opportunity from God (originally I seemed to know it was), I know it served a lot of purposes, I grew in a lot of ways, and It was a life moment to never forget. For those reason I still believe it was from my father. Well where ever it stemmed from it dropped me on my face right smack dab in the middle of Proverbs and I have been scorned, rebuked, and forgiven through it all and Today was no different. The topic was this: Bold as a lion. The pages shouted statements such as "if it works it was God, and If it doesn't work its not God" (bible side commentary) "It takes boldness to be led by the holy spirit because only boldness steps out and only boldness can survive making mistakes" (bible side commentary) "are you going to be bold enough to pray, wise enough to learn from your mistakes, and determined enough to go on?" ( bible side commentary). Proverbs 29:1 Whoever remains stiff necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed without remedy. Stop. Right there. I lost it chasing the almighty dollar, but I was bold for doing so, but in the end I was rebuked and now does that make me stiff necked? It was in that thought that I needed to write this all down. I have been rebuked before, I need to be honest with myself, am I refusing God's yoke? Is that at all what I intend to go down in Heaven's history books as? My answer is NO. I can't stand the thought of it. I pray that God continues to grow the flame he has lit in me and gives me a second Chance at an opportunity that progresses me further along on towards his purpose for me, I pray for all of the people who are reading this to begin to be exposed to their purpose and that maybe through reading my journey through proverbs you will land yourself on a book in the bible that reminds you of where you came from and what you were designed to do... LOVE.

Do you forget that sometimes Everything doesn't sometimes mean Somethings?
