I got a job!

I am at a temp job today...but I just received a call for a temp to hire position. The starting pay is more than I was making at Designer's Ink after 3 years. I will be working in Hutto, which is about 15 miles from my house...it is a 23 minute drive according to Google Maps, but it is in the opposite direction of the busy traffic.

Right now all I know is that it is an engineering firm and I will work in the morning in Hutto and then work in Pflugerville in the afternoon. Pflugerville is even closer to my apartment. They give me 20 minutes extra for lunch to accomidate for the drive time.

This sounds like it might be fun...and I always love learning something new.

Praise God...I gotta job.

Change is in the Water

I do not know what my dream means, if anything. But I do believe that God spoke a true word to me. I cannot get it out of my head. All the details of my dream may just be a product of circumstances, movies, events, memories or whatever; but I know the voice of God when I hear it. God said, "Change is in the water."

There is change in the water

Before I woke up this morning, I heard so very strong in my spirit. "There is change in the water. There is change in the water. There is change in the water." I dreamed of a black man wearing a black leather bracelet. I was on a journey through the jungle. I was leading two small children through a series of things (the children might have been my brothers). They had to be completed in order. They had to be completed correctly. One of the things that had to be done was to go onto a set of train tracks and follow them through a narrow stretch, there was no ground on either side of the tracks...if a train came...there would be nowhere to go. There were train engines on the tracks where we had to start. They were not on the tracks correctly, but they were coming and going sideways. These train engines were as long as a train real train engine, but only a foot or so wide. A noticed that a couple of them were not as tall as the others...they were only slightly shorter. We had to keep dodging the engines as they were pulling in and out really fast. Then we were on the tracks and running in the rain, we had to get off of the tracks before the next train came. We then came to a place where we were two wooden decks or bridges, we had to jump from one to another and then turn quickly. The distance that we had to jump was far enough that every time we would jump, if we were not careful we would fall off of the bridge into the water. I could crawl out of the water onto the bridge, but I could not go on without jumping and not falling in. Sometimes I would jump and make it but the children would not. I would quickly help them out of the water and we would jump again. Sometimes I would jump and the children would be with me...sometimes they would not. In the water were these green leaches with pointed heads. If we fell in the water, but did not get bit by even one leach, we could go on. I would pull the children out of the water and pull the leaches off. The skin of the leaches was coming off...like they were about to shed their skin. But there were so many of them they always latched on. The final time that I fell in the water, I knew to keep my body vertical, because the water was warm at the top and that was the only place where the leaches were. They would not attach themselves to my feet, because the water was too cold for them. My clothes would protect my body...I just had to keep my head above water. The last time I jumped I do not remember if the children were with me or not. As I got out of the water, there was a black man wearing a black leather bracelet. He told me that there was change in the water. He asked me if I had any questions, I hesitated and then I told him that next time I see him, I would like for him to explain water baptism. His train left...I woke up. There is change in the water.

Open doors

When God closes one door, He opens another one. But it is hell in the hallway.

This is only a test.

There is no cheating...and no talking. When we are going through a tough time, we have to remember that this is only a test. You cannot cheat...you must take this test. You need to be quiet. Don't bitch about how hard it is...just take the test. Oh and by the way...the test is open book.
