I spend my life as Mayor these days. Time, time, there appears not to be enough of it but I know there is plenty of time I just need to organize it much better. The Lord has placed me in a place in my life where life can be confusing, decisions are prayed over and cautiously approached.
Many friends as well as family has told me I'm crazy to be this position. I understand their concerns. Many people blame the city for their own problems. Many wants the city to fight their battles for them. And when we choose not to interfere in their problems or fight their battles for them they turn on the city belittling the city for their failure in not getting involved in something that was not the city's problem to begin with.
Through the many problems we all face I'm excited to be where I am. During the campaign my only prayer was for the Lord's will to be done. Since I won the election I accept it was God's will for my life. I am on a path that leads where only the Lord knows so as the old gospel song goes, I will follow where he leadeth and I will pasture where he feedeth. I'm on a wonderful adventureous journey in my life that is being led by the best teacher in the world. Jesus Christ is guiding me and I need to be sure I pray before making any decisions concerning our city. Daily I pray for our employees, for their safety, for their attitudes, for their obedience to the me as Mayor and to the city since it's the city's money that pays them for their job.
I'm proud of the team I've worked to develop. It may not be fully where it should be but it's getting there. I depend on the Lord to guide me with decisions on my employees and the community.
Jesus has taught me me fear not him who can kill the body only but to fear Him who can cast both body and soul into hell; Rev 11:6
I'm thankful to be where I am in my life and I'm grateful to be a child of the King. The Lord has placed many wonderful strong people in my life and I appreciate them extremely. I'm learning more about my community and I know after my four year term I will be more involved in my community. Life can be what we make it as long as the Lord Jesus Christ is leading the way.
As I'm sitting here drinking my coffee, I will say a prayer for you. I will continue to pray for my city but most of all I will thank the Lord you are still in my life. You're an awesome friend.
