A quick praise report and further proof that God is real and he does in fact love me!

So I had my first day back at my old job today. They were way stoked to have me back and I was very happy to be there. I am just working part time right now but my boss and I discussed the possibility of moving into a full time schedule soon within the next few weeks. I really can't complain because any work is good work really. There are sooooooo many people out there who are not able to find work at all right now,so for God to answer my prayer and to help me get one of jobs back is a real blessing. And I would like to thank all of you who also prayed for that to happen. I mean c'mon, I didn't quite or take a leave of absence, I went to jail. Not on vacation or to a rehab or "rest facility" or anything like that. I am a convicted felon/drug offender/drug addict/general badass who just got out of jail two weeks ago. I am not supposed to be able to find a job...at all. Let alone this quickly. And one that I am already good at and that is happy to have me back and are willing to do what they can to work with me? Fergitaboutit! I am truly blessed.


Another awesome occurence that took place was God taking care of me financially a little bit. Because we all know that every little bit helps right now in the recession that we are facing. So when I was given a envelope with my name on it,not specifying who it was from at all,containing a few hundred dollars,I shouted "Praise God!" and laughed out loud. I have suffered financially as I am sure you can understand. I didn't work for over four months,and the money I had waiting for me when I returned was only going to go so far. So whoever it was who gave me the money is a answer to prayer aswell. I don't know if that person reads my blog and saw my list of prayer requests for me(see past entries) or if God just put it on your heart to do what you did because you know me and my struggle. But for whatever reason it is that you did it, I deeply thank you. You have helped me out very much with your generous gift,and you have answered a prayer that cannot be answered enough right now. Just, thank you. Whoever you are. May God return the blessing to you ten fold. And may God return the blessing ten fold to anyone else who decides to do the same thing. Because that is a prayer that I will keep asking God for,and in turn I will return the favor whenever I can. Over the past 72 or so hours even before I recieved the anonymous money I have bought coffee and in one case a cheeseburger for 3 different homeless people. Two in the Anahiem area and one in Long Beach. I was doing it because of everything that God has already provided for me in my life. How great it feels to know that the master and creator of the entire universe who could blow up the entire galaxy if he wanted to, actually cares enough about little ol' me to listen to my prayers and the prayers of those who have been praying for me and actually takes the time out to answer them. So now I know that I must pass the blessing on to others who are in need just as someone passed their blessing on to me.


I just love the feeling of knowing just how blessed you really are. And the feeling that God wants nothing more than to just pour out more blessings on us who he loves dearly. The job,the money,my family,close friends,it' s all a blessing and Iknow that God is only going to do more. Whether it is through his works in my own life, or through what he prompts and puts on the hearts of his faithful servants. God is going to bless me just as I always had faith that he would. Thank you God! I am nowhere near perfect. I try hard not to but I still mess up and swear,and hurt people's feelings,and find myself in situations that are questionable,but I am working towards a higher understanding and when my faith in God's provision for us is confirmed in such an obvious way it really helps to show me a clearer path. So yeah,please read my past blog entry about my prayer requests that I am asking all of you to pray for me for. I wrote them all when I was in jail,but they are all still very accurate. And please keep praying. And thank you to everyone who has been praying for me up to this point already. Mya God bless you.


Aside from all that. I have just been having a good time being free. On the night of the SuperBowl I went to a show for my friend "Wild Wes" who is a hip hop MC. The show was in Long Beach and was alot of fun. I got to see a few close friends that I had not seen in quite some time and we all had a great time catching up. After his performance,our group of people headed down Pine Street in Long Beach to The Sevilla Cafe/Club I think it was called. It was so cool inside. There was a Enzo Miliano eventthat had gone on there earlier in the day and a huge after party for the event was happening there. Enzo Miliano is some sort of hair stylist or a brand of hair products or something. All I know is that there was alot of models there with really futuristically styled hair,and there was a pretty good DJ there too. We dance for a few hours before heading back to the OC.

Today I also went to see my Probation Officer for the second time since I have been out. Which honestly, I hate when she is rushed and we don't get a chance to really sit down. And I am not saying this to kiss ass because I told her about my blog and stuff. I know most people want to spend as little time with their PO as possible. But you have to understand, I have been on probation for awhile, and I have known my PO for awhile now too. Although I totally hated her and thought she was a lesbian at first,now I kinda like and wouldn't want a different one. She has seen me at my best, and has had to do her job when I was at my worse. Most people might have a small resentment brewing towards the person who has had to take them to jail a few times,but I am actually kinda thankful they did. I wouldn't have this blog, I wouldn't have learned everything about myself that I have,and I wouldn't have found my relationship with God the way it is now had I not gone to jail. So I guess I can kinda see that as a blessing too if I really reeeeeeally try. Anyway, I like my PO now and would rather have a moment to chat in their office instead of us both feeling rushed. But hey, wuddayagunadoo? I know that being a Probation Officer is a demanding job and thatmine does a good job. Ok now I am going to stop because now it almost feels like I am kissing ass.

Anyway. Thanks everyone again and I will see you all soon.
