I Deploy In 4 Days!!!!
As an unfortunate chain of events i am now re-assigned to the USS Abraham Lincoln, i will be gone for just under a month to deploy finally in mid March for 6-8 months.
I will not be here or able to see my daughter born or even her first 6-8 months of life here on this planet we call earth. Part of me wishes the Lord would no longer delay His coming and prevent me from enduring this hardship, yet i know that He will give me strength to prevail regardless.
My eyes right now are as full of tears as the day she left; while the agonizing pain i have held within causes my heart to bleed for a renewal of spirit and security in the [one whom i treasure most. (aka Jesus)]
So my dear friends and beloved one's i will miss you while i am gone but duty calls and when i am called i must follow and obey.
i thank the Lord will all that i am for without a Friend like Jesus i wonder how anyone survives such tragedy.

...to my Friends...
Luke 22:28 (New International Version)
"You are those who have stood by me in my trials."
"You are those who have stood by me in my trials."
...to one in similar shoes...
1 Thessalonians 3:3 (New International Version)
"so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. You know quite well that we were destined for them."
"so that no one would be unsettled by these trials. You know quite well that we were destined for them."
...to remind me to stay strong...

"Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him."
...to my unborn daughter...
Joshua 1:9 (King James Version)
"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
"Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
a poem: to the unborn daughter of SSM
I will not be there to look into your eyes,
To hear you laugh or watch you cry,
I will miss your firsts and seconds but never your last,
I hope you will grow and forgive me for the past,
If it were up to me i would still be there,
No one would have left and love would still care,
My hearts desires to know you, to see you and to hold your hand,
Maybe when you are older you'll see the heart of a broken man,
Is not a father who did not care but loved you with his all,
Who wanted to watch your first steps and and your first fall,
Who did all he could do to be his best,
I love you my daughter and this i must confess,
I will pray for you to know the Lord as i do,
May He bless you with His love that is pure and true,
Love Always

Quote for the Week Brethren!
Ecclesiastes 12:13 (King James Version)
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
NX also known as Night Check
As of this last Monday i am officially back on night check working hours.
When i first got to my command i was placed on nights and this is when my efficiency and productivity double, maybe I'm nocturnal or its just the fact that we don't have to deal with the big bosses on nights; maybe a combination of both.
I'm applying at a few local businesses and hoping to get and retain a daytime job as to make a little extra money and save up for when my child is born.
Also a little extra cash will definitely help me pay off the court costs of defending myself when accusations were brought against me.
I'm looking at places like Saar's Food Market, K-Mart, 7-11, Jack in the Box and other's...
in the meantime i am also looking for reliable transportation, so if any out there know of any prospects please let me know!

My Life
my dream began on the 30th of March 2007,
i soon realized on the 29th of August 2007 that it was a nightmare,
now as each day passes by i pray to wake from this harsh reality i live in.
Thankfully i have the Lord, if it wasn't for Him guiding me through this darkness of loneliness and rejection from the one woman whom i desired to accept me, i would be hopelessly lost.
Fortunately this is not the case, i thank the Lord everyday, and everyone else should too.
If you don't know Him ask Him to reveal Himself to you an enjoy the peace that only He can give.
Revelation 3:20 (King James Version)
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
He wants you to invite Him in, would you?
