I am all of you

Picking and Choosing God….

so today was amazing. i took 4 kids from project kindle to kiss fm (a huge radio station in chicago) to tell their stories over the air. the show went amazing. our kids are so courageous. so inspiring. they spoke so well and enchanted nina (talk show host). she was exposed to the kindle miracle, everyone showed up. i even had one mom hand deliver her son to me to say ‘thank you’ for being in her son’s life. she thanked me over and over for all the help that i have given to help her son.

“he looks up to you so much and we are so thankful for you”

we went to the studio and these kids each shared how their lives were impacted personally by HIV/AIDS. by the end of the interview, she said how she want to help in ANY way, WHEN ever, WHERE ever. there was even a parent who was there that has never heard their daughter speak. he was not very supportive before today….. after hearing his daughter speak and get emotional, he’s all about supporting his daughter. so cool.

basically, this has been a dream for a long time. NUDM, thank you for helping make this happen.

THEN i had my job interview….i had ONE little flub in the beginning and it threw me off a bit the rest of the interview. my day went from amazing to the depths of self pity in 30 min. i had a great interview. i had bump and acted like a baby.

so, i am all about praising GOD/Higher Power for working in my life when things are going according to my plan and as soon as things don’t go my way….i’m a 2 year old. why couldn’t this be part of His plan also? it is. i just needed a little guidance to help me realize that. as i was walking home from work (mad and baby-like), i talked to a VIP and they suggested i get to a meeting…. i got defensive and my bitterness / fear / ego showed thru. instead of being thankful for that suggestion, i stomped my feet acted on ego, shunned God and did things my way…… at least for a block or two. THEN i was faced with the North Shore Alano Club…and i ended up at a meeting. SOOOOOOO great. it’s what i needed.

i am thankful.

i am thankful to have HAD an interview.

I am thankful to be in a place that i can take kids to a radio studio to educated THOUSANDS of people.

I am thankful for progress in my life.

Things will be okay.

I can not pick and choose when God works in my life.

God is there good or bad. It’s not my plan.

Thanks for reading.

Love action,
