The last three months

April 2010 to July 2010

introduction
It has been four months since my last blog. First, I have been quite busy. I have been trying to get ready for the summer months and keep my usual cleaning done with more activities in daily life.

Grace
Second, grace is walking and getting around much more. She has also became more messier and that makes more cleaning.

Call of duty modern warfare 4
Third I have been busy on my game called Call of Duty Modern Warfare. I have been ranking up like a flash until I hit about 20. Then I slow down and I finally receive prestige about a week or so ago. I am currently at level 21 inside my first prestige. I am trying to master weapons while ranking up. I am currently ranked 22 since my second draft. I am starting to get close on ranking up my weapons so things can be more simpler. {July 21} I have been facing a new goal and weaponry mastering which is taking longer but it helping me level up. Since I started I went up 7 levels at rank 29 at 2nd prestige.

Summer days
Lately in the summer months we have received a pool, and other outside things. We bought with our left over income tax. We had a hard time working with the pool since the area was quite large but not very flat. It took us three times filling it up and deflating it to finally got it almost completely level.

Writing
My other project is writing a fiction novel. Well I threw my first rough draft away and now I am starting to get a feel of a new story. Which I have the characters for it but trying to make a good plot and theme. I had a lot of thoughts behind it but I really haven’t had urge of “take off” yet.

Burger King
My last time consumer is work at burger king. Burger King is like a roller coaster. My hours are up and down from 14.5 to 27 in these months. Of course there are a lot of breaks and sent home early moments. Of course if I take a vacation at anytime I lose them completely until Greg finally decide to give them back. I had Monday through Friday 2-6 or later but I lost Monday and Friday due to vacation. Currently I have four days Monday through Thursday. It’s an average of 19 hours a week since June. {July 21} The last few weeks have been better. I went up to 21 hours the last 2 weeks and this week up to 23 so far. it’s a moral booster and the feeling of being blessed by God.

(VBS){July 10}
My latest adventure within the last three and half months is vocational bible school. Nicole and I were volunteers for some stations which the kids learn something at. Everyone had some fun while it was definitely a success for God.

Upcoming:

Cedar Point

Our future adventure is this weekend at cedar point (July 24). I hope that the rain will not show up in Sandusky. Well this practically wraps things up. Take care everyone and God bless.

The Return to April Fools Day!

February 23 to April 1,2010

During our period of time, my wife and I slowly planned our finances to get us ahead of our electric bill and only had to pay under $20 for Gas in the worse month. Otherwise everything was alright or I like to say,” In the comfort zone”. Since we know it won’t last, especially during our Government’s recession.

Family wise, my wife was relaxed and was happy to be home. Well for a little while, since sickness struck her. Currently still haven’t totally went away.

Work, it is ok not the best. When Nicole was on vacation I was getting only sixteen hours plus breaks which always costs us. After she came back my manager had a fit and cut my hours down to 12. However we had a lot of issues there and it’s been stressing out the whole crew. This also including hours and some of the crew thinking that there better even though they are lower in seniority.

Job hunting; it has been quiet since the limited amount of phone minutes and time to head to each store. There is a second problem and it’s the area gasoline prices since they kept rising.
Other than that, I kept placing applications and checked on them while visiting. Also within the last week, I have also applied with Sperion an unhappy but possible move.

Church, well things have definitely been interesting. My family and I have been split on which church to go each Sunday. We have been going to Crestline Church of God or an upbeat but old fashion Tabernacle of Praise of Leesville.

Spiritually, it has improved a lot since I last blogged. I noticed an improvement between my wife and I for first. We had our anniversary we smiles. (march 21) We haven’t fought as much.

Biblical readings, well I was doing very well. I have been reading about three to six verse each day acquired and received from youversion.com.

Biblical verse 1:
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod… http://read.ly/Ps23.4.KJV

Biblical verse 2:
“For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.” http://read.ly/Luke12.12.KJV

January 28- Febrary 21 2010

Life: in the last three weeks things are well especially. My wife feeling better since we have gotten problems taken care of and her stress level has deminlish. However before her problems her blood pressure was placing her into emergency room because of pain in her chest and arms. Although with the problems over it was a puzzle blessed by God because it was accomplished. Nicole went to Florida on Valentimes Day and it turned out very well.

Work: I really think my work stinks. Finally got more hours from 4 to 12. After Nicole left, I gain about 4 to 6.5 hours but it was basic choice of hours and not consistant. I believe with Nicole being home it was more consistant. As for the closing job they prefer a person with no life since they require weekends. the worst part is the only time I would get a chance to see my wife. Who knows what’s going to happen. BK does have three new sandwiches to learn which wasn’t to hard.

Spiritually: I went from very good to almost dead until I realize it today. I haven’t been blogging nor reading the Bible like I should.

January 7-28, 2010

Life

The last 3 weeks has been quite interesting. We went from having no hot water tank to no water at all for a day. It has been kind of rough at times. When it came to work, I went 4 hours for the three weeks and this current week  I have 12.  Other than that, we really had some blessings from God. We both gotten hours since last week and we aren’t suffering with bills.

Work

Work, I think of Burger King but now I am adding job hunting to that list more often. I turned in over a dozen of applications or resumes with the last week. The chances of getting a job right now is like slim to none but its always good to try.

I heard a old saying.  There are two farmers and they both prayed to God for rain for their farms. One farmer just waited patient. The second farmer went and planted his fields. Which farmer received the blessing of God?

So I took that and thought applications are the seeds and his blessings is the rain or the more of a possible chance of getting a career started.

Spiritually

I feel like I have stalled for a moment since all I have done is focused on getting a job. So I need to get back into my bible reading and  learning. As for church I still feel progress each and every week.

Today’s Bible verses:

Psalms 10:1-10:18 :

     “Why standest thou afar off, O Lord?, why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the Lord abhorreth. The wicked, though the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts. His ways are always grieveous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies he puffeth at them. He hath said i his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity. His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity. He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor. He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor when he draweth  him into his net. He croucheth and humbleth himself that the poor may fall by his strong ones. He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face he will never see it. Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble. Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it. Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless. Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none. The Lord is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.  Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.”

Dec 23,09 – Jan 7,10

 

December 23, 2009 through January 7, 2010

 In the last week and half I really seem to be in a downward spiral with a few nice level cushions on the way.  On the 23rd, Doris, the ABC director, who called me asked a few questions.  Well I gave honest answers but later in the week she took my answers and made an excuse to get rid of me as the backup janitor.  Now it is January second, I still sit in torment because of my wife. 
Since my wife believes of the excuse as completely my fault and will not believe anything I said.  So Doris and my wife took it as I was “too tired to work”. Doris called me with her decision that day the 23rd.

 Burger King didn’t give me any hours at all, but they dropped them.  In the last two weeks I went down from 10 hours to 5 hours.  After the 24 hour flu I had on December 29th. Friday, I went to Burger King and got my check and later I found out my wife’s hours were changed now from 35 to 25 hours a week.  I wanted
to pick up the slack but burger king haven’t been doing so well during the holidays.  These results only made me sad and wish that I can do more. 

 My wife and I had an average new year’s eve and day.  We spend our New Year’s Day and Eve at my in-laws and it was a socializing, television watching, and a few giggles here and there.  Overall it wasn’t too bad; we did in up watching the Ohio State and Oregon game in the Rose Bowl.  I am grateful that OSU won and
the score was 26 to 17.  Other than the OSU game, I did try a shot of whiskey which did not my sciences until the next morning.  I woke up with my nose clogged all over again.  It did not go away until the morning of January second.

 My wife and I are OK.  My wife and I had our moments but we got through them.  The only moments we had our fights was about the ABC situation for another dumb thing.  The other dumb thing I have done since Thanksgiving Day until December
28.  Of course if my parents found out, they would probably kill me.  I went back to smoking for the fifth time in that period of time.  Although with that in mind I had a lot of hard times but I still went “Cold Turkey”, and I have not lived up one cigarette since.  I am truly embarrassed for those actions since I have quit five times in my life.  I am also a shame because my wife will forgive
or forget it.  She’d rather torture me with it and trust me no more.

 As for the ABC Center, I thought about talking or sending a letter to Doris about the situation with the “to tired” conversation. 

 On January 2, 2010, my wife and I battled a little bit around nine to eleven that morning.  After the battles, we’ve left each other alone.  Later that night we got along just fine and I continued to write to my wordpress audience. 

 On January 3, it started fine however it went rotten and quickly.  When my wife and I were headed to church and all of the sudden my wife got mad.  I asked her what was wrong she said it was the car seat cover.  She said it was not high enough and I try to fix it.  However she just got mad and went to the house.  I
went to church and she cleaned house while I had Grace.  When I arrived at church and sat down and my friend Tammy got involved quickly.  She took my car and went to see my wife.  By the time the she talk to my wife the service was over.  When I arrived home I arrived with loud Christian music.  I try to help
her clean but it just made her mad.  I went upstairs and started laundry.  I sat down and chair for about half an hour.  Then I went to my parents, and my father fixed my car.  After my father fixes my car we’ve watched some of the Browns game, but listen to it on the way home.  The Cleveland Browns won their fourth
straight game and it ended their 2009 and 2010 season.  When I got home I went upstairs and I snuggled up to my wife and I fell asleep.  My wife woke up and got Grace fed and ready to go.  She took her to the evening church service.  It just placed me by myself for an hour and so.

 As for what has happened between January fourth and seventh, all I have been doing has been shoveling snow and watching movies with Grace.  My wife has been a lot better especially through our times without hot water because the hot water went out.  Now all I have to worry about is snow and Grace.

“The Five Days”

Home

 Thurs; 
This was the day that my daughter, Grace, had to get shots at the doctors office
and my wife wanted to get her sore throat checked out.  Grace was great
other than doesn’t want to stay in one place. The shots, first it didn’t phase
her ;however, the second shot the MMR, she didn’t like it at all.  My wife
on the other hand had got checked and it was tonsillitis  and a starting of
a ear infection which good thing they caught that in time.  After the
doctors appointment, We went home and ate supper and then I went to work at the
ABC Center. The rest of the day went normal basically, get home, shower and bed.

Fri;  I believe Friday was a very busy day. I
asked for more hours at work and went in at 10 and got off at 1:30  after
labor got bad at work. I went to the banks, gas station, and then to Valero to
pay for my gas bill and got minutes for our phones. After finishing everything I
went home and got my family. I took them to Long John Silver and to a few stores
in Mansfield then went home. Of course the typical ending come back.

Sat;  We stayed home cleaned a little and had
some family time checking out our new Wii game we bought. I went to my fathers
got my car fixed and headed back home. About five that evening,  we went to
the Church Musical that my wife is in.  The show was awesome. God was
definitely moving that night. After so we went home and the typical ending.

Sun; We went to church. I did my typical day at
church of statistics and listening to the testimonies and to our great Pastor
Joseph giving us a good message once again. After church we had a fellowship
lunch and went to the Magnolia Nursing Home and the choir had a small program
with the ending of Joseph’s message. I actually like listening to the message
twice it clears up the meaning of the message given.  After all, the
program was great. The Holy Spirit fill the room while we were there and exit.
The audience I believe enjoyed the performance and the message.  After the
nursing home, my family and I went to a few stores and head home and ate. The
typical ending came around and we got set for a long day on Monday.

Mon; I woke up late but I picked up the house and
try to play my new Wii game we bought. It was very difficult to keep yourself
together when all I been doing is losing 50-0, 30-0 and finally 5-1. However I
just pushed it a side easily and greeted my wife and hope for a good day at
work.  After work went to ABC and got out at 10 and got home at 10:30. Went
home found my wife enjoying herself playing her game and with Grace talking and
watching. Of course a early start means it was they typical ending for here.

Tues; I woke up even earlier than normal, getting
up about 4:30. I tried to play my game again; however, I was smart. I give up
with some of the aggravating and did house work when I really sucked and went
back to it. After a while I started to do better and better. Finally getting a
hand of the game a bit, I started to win games and got through the game a bit.
Of course my wife comes home and finished my last game and dropped it and
finished lunch. She tried to play her game and fell into a rut, which I was
clueless until I saw a technique it was showing her. I showed her and she
continue while eating. I went to work and ABC. Went home and arrived about 10.
After so I went to bed and so on.

Work

Burger King;  I really don’t like getting to
this sometimes, but to sum up the last five days. I didn’t get many house these
last few days. Ending last week with thirteen and a half. Also ending with seven
and half this week. I think who is doing the scheduling don’t like me or that
Marsha is really hitting the store to drop labor.  Anyways, I  go to
work not late yet, Knock on wood. I had a typical day other than I am in
a different spot each day other than Kitchen, and its boring; however, I try to
make it interesting. Friday I was stuck on Fryers which I got aggravated since I
know I am better working somewhere more interactive. Therefore, I continue with
the work day and finished like a pro. However, Greg ,my previous/new for our
store manager, seems to be extra hard on me since he known me about 3 months
longer than everyone else. Well when I came back on Monday, he asked me your not
going to have an attitude with him today. I looked at him strangely and asked
him what he is trying to say. He told me I lost focus after he placed me on the
fryers and didn’t talk to anyone. Well he was right, I did keep to myself and
try to keep emotions tight so I don’t snap at anyone or do anything really
stupid.  So I acknowledge him and said ok I understand what he talking
about and said I really only had a attitude for about a minute as for anger. He
said the whole silence thing was a attitude problem for a half-hour. So he
placed me on dishes for two and half hours and finally at the boards  for a
hour  with barely any stamina or  any product up. Well I try to work
myself out of the funk however it was so much a short about of time I basically
had to leave. Yesterday, Tuesday, Heather place me at Front Counter, which I
think is better than Dishes so I didn’t say a word.  I asked her what needs
to be done in the dining room. I got all of the dining room stuff done within a
hour. I think started working on trash in the Kitchen. Heather pulled me a side
and took me to the bank and came back to the store. Well Greg pull me a side and
placed me cleaning the rest of the evening other than keeping the Kitchen
running if necessary for Carla sake. Well I cleaned and well I don’t think it
ever look as good as it did in the past (LOL). I went to ABC afterwards
and went home.

ABC; Well its a typical janitor’s job. I was
exalted Thursday and Friday. So I try to get everything done as fast I could.
Monday and Tuesday I did the basic list and left. Other than that I place my two
hours in and left. No standing around or anything. Well never mind on working
there for a while. I just got a phone call at 10:30am today, and they said I
don’t do a good enough job. Well I think they just wanted to give the job to
someone else anyways. I am very disappointed because I did all the basic
cleaning and did clean the toilets and everything.  So I think something is
out to get me now. I don’t have any hours as is. I don’t know what to do for
work other than start my own Computer Repair Business by appointment.

Spiritually

  
Church; I
am well, I try to place my part at the church as in tithes and in my duty in
statistics. I am working with First Steps and disciplining class which will help
me become a better Christian.

   
Bible, Reading, Prayers; I am not
reading the bible like I want to since my sleep
schedule is rocky for one but I need to place better commitment to it.
Prayers, I have notice a decline yesterday so sorry
Lord, for not prayer for the best, I noticed without the prayers I did finally
slip into sin more easily. So I need to pray to God
more often. 

Scripture of the Day (12/23/09)

 Biblical
Reading from the NKJV: 

Psalms 1:1-6;  Blessed is the man who walks
not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits
in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And in
His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree planted by the
rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also
shall not wither, And whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly  are not
so But are like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly
shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the
righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the
ungodly shall perish.

Proverbs 1:1-7;  To know wisdom and
instruction, to perceive the word of understanding, to receive the instruction
of wisdom, Justice, Judgment, and equity; To give prudence to the simple , to
the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear and increase
learning, And a man of understand will attain wise counsel, to understand a
proverb and an enigma, the words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of the
Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Psalms 2:1-6; Why do the nations rage, And the
people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers
take counsel together, against the Lord and against His anointed saying, “Let us
break Their bonds in pieces and cast away Their cords from us.” He who sits in
the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. Then He shall
speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure: Yet I
have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.”

Proverbs 1:1-8;  My son, hear the
instruction of your father, and do not forsake the law of your mother; for they
will be a graceful ornament on your head, and chains about your neck.

December 16, 2009

Today is December 16. I know its been 7 months since I last mention anything. Well on reason is I didn’t have any access to any internet except for the library. Well having a daughter has it downs with travel but I love her so. I would rather stay home warm and safe than place her in worldly danger.

Within the last few months, My family and I live in Crestline instead of Shelby because of our landlords. Well its nice to be in my hometown but it gets boring awfully quick.

Work, I have been trying to do what I can. However Bryan hires 5 new rookies last month. This is where trouble began, since they place blame on me for things I didn’t teach them. So I got wrote up for lies and try extra hard to keep the rookies in order. While Bryan at the time, gave everyone a bit of trouble. Bryan was kicked out of my store last Monday the 14th. I now have a manager that I known since I started working at Burger King. This manager’s name is Greg, he is from the Lexington-Springmill store.

Spiritually I have noticed an awaking and more of a better outlook for my life. Now all I battle is the daily tempation which I noticed yesterday is getting eaiser with prayer and remembering what Paster Joseph said in the bible. Thanks. As for reading I still need to get into a better habit of it. I am at Psalms still from day 1, but I am beginning chapter 9 soon. However I am feeling its not sinking in my head. I will let Joseph find a way to solve that problem.

Home Life; Its better Jesus have been keeping home life smooth and money in order since we have been giving our tiths for 2 and half weeks. I am confident of making through the winter with Jesus hand in our fiances. I will have plenty more to say if nothing happens to our Wii or internet access.

God bless to all,

Today is May 31. Usually today its called Memorial Day most of the time. This year its not. Its the last day of May and was a rather decent day.
 
I woke up today tired because of my little girl keeping me awake almost every hour after 3 in the morning. Well about 6:30 that morning I shut her light out and closed the door and the funniest thing happen. She stayed a sleep  from then til when we had to get up at 7:30.
 
After everything, Nicole, Grace, and I went to church at Tabanacle Praise which my daughter was dedicated to the Lord today. This special moment led to another. My brother- in – laws just had their graduation from high school today also. Which was short and sweet pretty much. In a way it just bring back memories.
 
I am now, still at my in-laws practically finishing a cook-out and celebrating Matt and Zach’s graduation.
I am glad that I am here and was in church today and hope to keep my sleep schedule so I can appear much easier next Sunday.
