Still Moving

Hello again everyone.

My uncle once said that “as long as you are moving, you ain’t stuck.” Well depending on your definition of “moving”, I guess I am not stuck … yet. Things are slow and sometimes it seems that I am not making any progress (in any direction), but I have lived another day, so that (to me) is moving. I am at a point where I have to rely on blind faith and the actions of others before I can do anything more. I am seeking a way where I can contribute to society and those that may need my assistance as well as finding some way to contribute to my family’s well-being. I have sought legal aid, with no response (I guess they do not want to deal with me without filling their coffers with non-existent funds). I have asked family for assistance, and they are not able to provide anything as well. So it is obviously up to me and The LORD (in that order). It is a challenge to not get impatient with HIS timetable and I do not know the outcome of this venture. I only pray that HE gives me the strength and the wisdom to get through this . One day maybe I will write a book on all of this, but they will want to put it in the fiction section of the library because no one would believe the stuff in it. OR I could write a country song – but folks would say it was TOO sad – lol. Go figger.

 

Well to the point – We are packing again to find another place to live. A place where the wind does not howl thru the wall and the apartment is the same temperature as the outside and the electric bill does not exceed the rent. I would love to be able to settle in a place with my wife and not have to worry about moving every year or so (it has only been 6 mths now ). I am tired of my nomadic life. I am glad that I have had the opportunity to see and experience the many things and the many places that have crossed my path, but, as I am getting older, it is time to allow this old soul to find a more permanent residence. I am afraid though, that the only rest I will have is after a short limo ride to a grassy meadow with rocks to mark my fellow travelers. But, until that time, I will keep trying to follow my heart and continue to seek a way to make my bride happy and content. My dreams are simple. I have given up on the extravagant ones and would gladly settle on a comfortable house, with groceries in the cupboard and a few coins in my pocket to allow Denise the things she so richly deserves.

 

Even though I am slowing down … I Ain’t Stuck Yet!!!

 

Until next time: God Bless you and yours
