I am a free agent.

As many of you are aware, I have this character flaw where I work myself out of a job. Time after time after time. Right now I am on hiatus, "considering my options". Doesn't that sound upper crust! Be advised, the only thing crusty about me is my mind.

I spent yesterday helping one of the son-in-laws. He has a small construction business and all of his help "couldn't", yesterday. I don't know how far down the list I received my call, I guess I don't really want to know. But the call came, I had nothing on tap so I said sure. We drove about two hours to the job location and began laying out porches, carport, and a circular drive. It was a very different day for me. All day long as we were measuring something I would tell him to take the smart end of the measuring tape! It wasn't a bad day.

Once we returned I loaded up in my truck and went to Anson to visit with my friend, the cotton gin manager. His butt is dragging and they are still probably two weeks away from completion. I have already agreed to go in and do some spread sheets and offer my analysis of his trucking operation, but I am not quite ready to be tied down just yet. Recent developments now have him pressuring me to come in "wherever I am needed" immediately. It could be in the office, it could be in a truck, it could be going to an auction or making meetings or whatever! We visited until about nine-thirty or ten last evening trying to come to a compromise. I am trying to make this decision with my brain and not my heart, while the money is not paramount it is a concern. I would hate to pass up an opportunity.

I can see a conflict coming ........ who said it is nice to have people fighting over you! (If people are fighting over you it means you went down early! Cheap shot!).

FATHER, I thank YOU for the good day yesterday. I find my heart is heavy. I fight depression. I find myself taking too much on me and not giving it to YOU. Rescue me. Deliver me back to the safety of YOU. I thank YOU for the opportunities YOU make available and I ask YOUR help in making my decision. I continue to pray for Krl's health, for Hag, for B., for Lillie, for Rene', for Carol, for Michelle, for Aimee, for Jennifer, for Rusty and Kim's baby, and for those still recovering from their injuries in the accident. I ask YOUR healing for them all. I continue to ask YOUR comfort for those hurting from loss. I pray for our spiritual family, for our leaders. Thank YOU LORD for loving me.
