These guys have taught me to have one of the most essential characteristics…being goofy.

Haha really tho I think I get a lot of goofiness from them…but all kidding aside…they have taught me to be disciplined, humble, and to truly cherish all that I have. Happy 24 hours dedicated to dads!

"1. My child, don’t forget what I teach you. Always remember what I tell you to do.
2. My teaching will give you a long and prosperous life.
3. Never let go of loyalty and faithfulness. Tie them around your neck; write them on your heart.
4. If you do this, both God and people will be pleased with you.
5. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Never rely on what you think you know.
6. Remember the Lord in everything you do, and he will show you the right way."

Proverbs 3:1-6 TEV

"

26. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways.
27. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.
25. Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you.


31. “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32. For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

"

"6. I know that your goodness and love will be with me all my life; and your house will be my home as long as I live.
1. The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need.
3. He gives me new strength. He guides me in the right paths, as he has promised.
4. Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid, Lord , for you are with me. Your shepherd’s rod and staff protect me."

So after sternly telling my manager the potential of having to leave my job for a chance of a greater calling…both he and his manager, the director, have been trying to talk me out of it…asking what they can do in order to keep me on board…to be honest, I thought this “release” would be easy for them given the fact that I don’t even have a college degree and no work experience other than this very job… “I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you to get this, but my toes are crossed for you to stay here”…”Just want to make sure you’re aware that you’re leaving a lot of money on the table”…”Don’t want you to lose all your stock options” They were throwing temptations here and there…I pray that God will allow me to stand firm…to disregard these material riches for the sake of a greater spiritual treasure…and that this sacrifice will come to fruition…what was truly humbling however, was when the director said “You’ve proven yourself here and if this doesn’t work out, the doors are always open for you here”… Again I couldn’t have gotten to where I am today…to who I am today…without the help of The Almighty God…truly thankful I am for being guided to this juncture of my life.

"What I’m getting at, friends, is that you should simply keep on doing what you’ve done from the beginning. When I was living among you, you lived in responsive obedience. Now that I’m separated from you, keep it up. Better yet, redouble your efforts. Be energetic in your life of salvation, reverent and sensitive before God."

Thanks @lynace for allowing me to try this miraculously flavored water…less ingredients (especially less of that shtuff you can’t pronounce) typically means a #healthy drink…JUST 3 INGREDIENTS! Unsweetened! It really tastes like #chocolate #mint! …but what exactly is “cocoa essence”? Hehe

Me vs. Doubters…this is the reason why I kept the fact that I’ve been going to school from most of you under wraps…I was here to prove those who seemed to think “Oh, he’s no longer thinking about school now that he has a job”, “He no longer has the drive to go to college”, “He’s not interested in getting a degree” etc. Before anyone congratulates me, however, I would like to attribute this success…passing my first full-time schedule of traditional college classes that I concurrently took with my FIRST EVER full-time (current) job…to the Almighty God…reason being, even I was one of the doubters…”I won’t be able to dedicate enough focus to my job, especially with also having my office in the church to which I wanted to dedicate my time and efforts as well”…God helped me prove all doubters, including myself, wrong…he helped me through still being able to work out a 40hr/wk-minimum job while going to class (on-ground/online) right after work…limiting me to only 4 hours of sleep or less each night…energy conserving and counting every penny I had… it was a struggle that was definitely humbling…as it allowed me to fulfill my ultimate goal…going to college while paying for tuition without burdening my parents…I would also like to thank the #truefriends who had faith in me…that I had good intentions when I turned down their offers to hangout and such…now I’m just aiming and praying for an even greater path in the near future :) #ifyaknowwhatimean
