This past weekend was a good one. It was great to spend time with family. Moreover, it was good to be in the presence of the Lord at church. Given that I work on Sundays at H&R Block, I haven't been able to attend church service. New Life Covenant Oakwood was on fire for the Lord. God is so good. When I think of all that He has done for me, I am humbled. He gave his life for the pardon of our sins. He is so worthy of all our praise! I am thankful for my health, my job, my home, my clothes, my car, my job, and loving family and friends. I want to continue to let my light shine so that others may see Him through me.
This is my first Easter without Salina. I miss her so much. My two loving ladies - mom and Salina are with God in heaven. I miss their smiles. I miss their presence. Salina was my life partner. She was my rock through the hard times. I could always depend on her. My mother helped to mold me into the man I am today.
Life doesn't seem the same without Salina. I went out on a couple of dates. The first girl dropped me after the first date! The second one still talks to me. But she is no Salina. I know that it is not fair to compare them to Salina. There will never be another Salina! My sister, Cathy, said that Salina is watching over me. She is not going to let another woman come into my life unless she is right. Salina told me to go on if something was to ever happen to her. But part of me find this so hard to do. I want to be with her. I don't want to go through this dating thing again. I found my good thing. Now it is back to the drawing board. I know how my dad feels now after he lost my mother. You adjust but you never forget! My life would be so simple with her in it. Instead, it is filled with uncertainty and bitter loneliness at times. I just have to trust God and his will.
I'm anticipating what my next job will be. The interviews went well last week. I did my best. It's all in the Lord's hands now. If I have my choice, I would pick the Social Security Administration because there is more chance for advancement. UIC would not be a bad option because I would get to finish my education for free. In either case, the Lord knows best. I should find out next month where things stand. There is no need to worry. I know that I can do all things through Christ!
