I am Second Blog Campaign

url.jpgI am participating in the I am Second Blog Campaign, courtesy of FlyBy Promotions Blogger Network. I received a t-shirt and bracelet for participation.

About I am Second:


I have heard of I am second prior to this campaign. I loved the work everyone was doing. I was happy to be chosen for this campaign. I have to learn to put God first, instead of myself. I can be selfish at times, where I feel I have to rely on me first, because I don't trust others or I feel no one can do it the way I can. Sometimes I can be impatient. God should be the first person, I talk to every morning and last one, I should talk to every night. God should be apart of every decision. I am involved in.

The campaign involves actors, athletes, drug addicts, Business leaders, musicians, and regular, everyday people, struggling. Some are struggling with drugs, alcohol, abortion, anger, child abuse, cancer, etc. The stories provide hope, inspiration, peace, and fulfillment all from a Christian perspective. The mission is to put God first and you second.

Morning Frustration

Found me a good church a few weeks back. Has a good special ed program. Nursery. But church van is starting to irk me. First visit. My mother took me and picked me up. Next visit church van. Called and confirmed pick up time. Last week no call no show. Same this week. What's the point of calling for
transportation if no one going show up?


My mother decided to take me to church real quick. The church will provide a way back home, if someone needs one. On the way to church, my mother saw a church van and decided to follow the van to see if it was meant for our house. Keep in mind, the church 10 minutes away and I am almost late. Each van has a list of passengers for pick-up. Instead of honking to determine, she decided to follow the van. The van was meant for my house, (Thank you Jesus). And she did follow it all the way back home. I was very very frustrated at this point. A) No confirmation call from the church. B) Mother said she would take me, but then turned around. C) I hate being late anywhere. I have to walk to the nursery. Sign the kids in. Then Go to church. D) I missed last week because the bus did not show up and it may show signs of a future pattern. 


Anyway, the bus driver was very understanding. He did not know why no one showed up last week. He said he will be my regular driver for this neighborhood. He gave me a time frame for future pick-ups. I got into the church finally, the choir was singing. and then the solo artist (George Something) sung one of my favorite songs (Smokey's Norful's I need you now). The song made me cry and filled my spirit. Not everything will go according to plan or routine. Life has its deviations along the way, but I can not let it frustrate me all the time.
