prayer request, prayer request, food for thought

I've been hunting for a house for me and Dood to live in, with no luck. Oddly all the houses that I had been interested in that had been sitting idly on the market for months even up to a year have sold in the last two weeks. I don't mean to say that the housing market has suddenly come to life. I mean to say that I think God has been closing doors. So I know what God doesn't want me to do but I don't know what God wants me to do.

Also,

I've been told that to maintain my job I must attain two more teaching certificates by this June and two more shortly after that. I have a great deal of studying to do in a short period of time. Two exams at one time! Man!

And,

This past weekend I did a great deal of helping / taking care of others. I mentioned it to someone the other day like I was seeking attention for myself. I was surprised at myself for doing that. If I am of the mind to be Christ like, and I am, then I shouldn't be self serving but serving others. It took me awhile to get my head around it because I still missed the real point. The real thing is that when Jesus helped people he always related their earthly needs to their spiritual position. When I visited someone in the hospital or took someone groceries I didn't pray with them, I didn't in anyway verbally witness about God's saving grace, compassion or care. I mentioned my church, my Sunday school class even myself but not God. So I have to ask myself, "What's the point?" If it's not for their relationship with God, for their salvation then it's just like throwing a sand bag on the bank when it floods. You'll be throwing sandbags up forever if you can't stop the rain. Only God can stop the rain.
