Oxford Street

Nothing to exciting has happened since I last updated on Monday.  Just the usual work day followed by a evening work out.  I have to say I hope this pattern continues.  Today I opted out of going to the gym and decided to go for a run through The Heights.  For those of you that don't know The Heights is a part of Houston filled with unique restaurants, boutiques and large historic homes.  The trail I run takes me by some of the most amazing houses I have ever seen.  These massive million dollar homes are beautiful with their perfect yards and amazing architecture.  Running by these homes is enough to get my thoughts to what it would be like to live in those homes.  The owners seem to have the perfect life with their beautiful homes, fancy cars and picture perfect families.  That's when I stop to remind myself what seems perfect on the outside is not always the case.  The people living in these homes aren't immune to disease, heart break or any of the many other things that hurt the human race.  So when I find myself day dreaming of what it would be someone else I remind myself at the end of the day I wouldn't want any other life then the one I have and to count my blessings.   Although I may be running back to my apartment on Oxford Street its an apartment filled with pictures of the people I care about most, my bible by my bed to guide me each day, a cell phone that rings with calls from people that love me, clothes ready to be worn for my next care free night out and others for a day at the office. Gods blessings surround me here,  so for now I will stick to the adventures and wonderful life I live on Oxford Street.....

Love Or Something Like It

After knowing many people who have decided to start blogs, I decided there is no better time then the present.  After spending the day at work then having dinner with my roommate I decided to relax with a glass of wine on the patio.  While listening to the radio I thought about my life and what brought me to where I am today.  The only conclusion I can come to is every decision you make and every person you meet in some way molds moments in your life.  Being Valentines day I know we all think about that special someone or the lack of that person in our lives.  I have recently been reading a book I had once read many years ago titled When God Winks on Love.  This book has many peoples different stories of how they met and what brought there lives to cross paths.  These different stories make me realize God has a plan for all of us and he works in mysterious ways.  God has planned out every moment of our lives and works in our lives even when we think nothing is ever going to change.  So whether you have someone in your life or your still patiently waiting I hope you look to God during your search for Love or Something Like It.......
