January 28 Resolution - I should write more hereI have decided - I should write more here.
It's nearly the end of January, but I guess it is not too late. I mean, you can have a resolution any time. And I guess somebody may be interested in what I write.
Sometimes it is just difficult to write about what is happening in my life. I have a faith in Jesus, but that does not mean I go around with a smile on my face (in fact, how many Christians do you find with a smile on their face?). I have just been told that I have to pay £1 tax this year - oh wow. So that tells you the level of my earnings.
That really is the big deal for me. I am over fifty and am struggling to find any consistent work. I keep applying for jobs and get absolutely nowhere. I need to face the fact that I am now unemployable by the great majority of organisations. I spent 14 years with one employer that meant that I got stuck in a major rut. When I finished there - I knew too much and not enough of the things that people needed. Now I have lots of skills... but feel totally useless.
On to better things. I am nearly halfway through a major project for World By Radio. I feel it is going well and the end result will be a major step forward for the organisation and for the Radio Data Manager system developed in conjunction with the Far East Broadcasting Company and their sister organisation FEBC International. I supply the web space for the latter and some of their radio stations and a lot of the developmental work on websites and RDM.
I am enjoying playing keyboards at the local church - sometimes wish I could do more, be better, and could express myself more clearly in worship when playing. But at least I am doing something. Got to do a bible study on Joseph in a weeks' time. Not overly looking forward to that. But I admire the cocky young man who dared to express what God was telling him - even though it meant being sold into slavery. I know he did not expect that - but it just had to be in Gods plan - otherwise Israel would have perished with hunger. Throughout Joseph kept his faith in God - and in the end God rewarded him with so much..
That is enough blurb for today - please remember me in your prayers.
Yours In Christ. |
