Haven’t blogged in ages so here I am.  I realized that I have been kind of arrogant inside for quite some time now.  Half a year ago I was so proud of myself for getting lucrative job offers without even trying.  Just when I started feeling a little too good about myself, God humbled me down by taking my job away.  “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart.  The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.”  Job said it right.  This is the way it is and the way it should be.  So here I am…no job, no gf, no problem.  We were born to this world with nothing in our hands and we will die very much the same way.  This is how sad life could be if it was just about us chasing our worldly dreams only to close our eyes and let it all go in the end.  I can sit in my Mercedes today and say “I made it”, but that does not make me any more or any less valuable in God’s eyes.  In fact it doesn’t even guarantee that I will still be alive tomorrow. 

So last Thursday when I was driving from Houston back to College Station, I felt as if I was coming home.  Not home home but like home^3.  I started singing this Brian Littrell song in my car and realized that my life has been truly blessed.  Not because of what I’ve done, but because of what He did.  Not because of who I am, but because of who He is.  It is never too early and it is never too late.  Really.

You're never far
I will be where you are
and when you come to me
I will open my arms

Welcome Home, you
I know you by name
How do you do?
I shine because of you today
So come and sit down
Tell me how you are
I know son, it's good just to see your face.
