I don't really know how to condense today into a "BLOG" post. Some days are so intense, and I am so involved with so many things. . . I don't think that attempting to post about it would do them justice, so I will not BLOG today. Today was great though.
I am taking high school kids to a Fall Weekend in Michigan this weekend. I leave tomorrow at 4pm. It is going to rock.
at what point do you think you will get a job and grow up and be like most people your age... damn this silver spoon life must be great.. car breaks, mom and dad fix, etc etc... its easy to give advise when you havent really had to live.... my god you got lots of potential, but damn are you naive and immature for your age..........
ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry I appear to forget about you. You are a small voice that is very behind the scenes. I talk with, support, and care for so many people that I see and interact with every day, it is easy for me to forget about the small voices. I care about you, I really do, it's just that sometimes you are quite selfish. You also know that I am not immature, in fact quite the opposite. If more people thought and acted like me, the world would be a much more love filled place. The fact of the matter is I care more for other people than I do myself. I have just been put in a situation where my health and future rely on my parents. And I have amazing parents who also care more for others than themselves. They are selfless, and I am going to continue to be grateful for them. God placed me in their lives (i'm adopted), and it was for a reason. Please stop telling me I am immature and to grow up. I am right where I need to be, and I am making the best out of it. I am extremely happy too. My life doesn't have to look like the "usual" life, in fact I fight so that it does look different.
I think the point that is trying to be made is this. If you were not as fortunate as you are, and come from apparently financially strong circumstances, as you do. Would you still have the same strong beliefs that you do now, and if you had to work for a living, and pinch pennies like many unfortunate people are would you have the same outlook on life? Only you know the answer to that question, and it seems to be, given your obvious ability to go all the places you go, eat out alot, movies et al, that it is a fair question.
ReplyDeleteMr. Anonymous (proverbs 14:10)... I would like to ask you something... what is your outlook on life? Is it based on what you have, or don't have or can't pay for? Is that what you consider living? Having to work? Mikey works, and a lot harder than most. God is his boss and ministry is his job. That is a lot more difficult than any worldly job. He has the enire socially driven world against him. Religion and God just like politics are topics society can't seem to agree on, topics that get people thinking about wrong and right. No one likes to know and see that the way they are living is not right or plainly can't be told they are wrong in any situation. He works to bring this topic of God our savior to reality to all the people around him. (Romans12:2)So yes he works, he works to be different and do what many of us have a hard time doing and that is giving up control of our lives and giving control to God. He has done that, and he has worked to obey and live by Gods will. (Psalm 54:22) This is only one reason as to why God has provided him with caring loving parents, the type of parents we all need but don't always get. (1peter 1:6-7) Plus he has lived, he's lived through pain and suffering physically (MS which is not his fault) and spiritually because he tried to do things his way when he was younger, not to metion the story of his real family which you have not earned the right to know (according to me, but mikey might be open to telling you so you can see that he has lived). Mikey is much more mature and has lived through problems far more difficult and important than paying any bills could ever compare to. Yes his life looks like its all fun and games on this blog but he realizes that personal issues are to be delt with in the privacy of his own home which is why you don't normally see all the not so fun things in his life.() In his blog he never takes credit for all the people he helps, he works to give all the glory to God but I have seen him work and the outcome of that and like I have stated before, that is far better than any other job he could perform. (Matt6:2). It seems as though you are truely interested in mikes life, he is normally open to getting together and talkin life with people...just gotta ask. I don't mean to be angry or agressive with this comment, I'm just really shocked at the assumptions made. Take care.
ReplyDeleteok mikey it's me "small voice very much behind the scenes" guy..i humbley apoligize for my post's that question your working and good life.. i believe i crossed the line of decent comments too you and your life, and i apoligize.. at one point when we first began to connect by text i hoped and almost felt that while i was enjoying you as a sounding board, that maybe you were too.. kind of a out of the picture opinion person you could lean on too, which i felt you could use.. it just wasn't meant to be i guess and for that i am very sad.. i could have used your positive advice, and i believe you could have used my "bring me back to earth" advice.. i have followed you since your lawn mowing days, and way back before the china trip, and it has been a joy.. thank you for sharing your life.. i am so sorry to have created a situation where someone else feels they need to step in and defend you.. you don't deserve that from me.. Gods Blessings on you, and your family, friends, and your life.. i am proud to have followed you, and happy that we had a short chance to connect personally.. But, it is time for me to leave you alone.. I will on occasion if it is ok check your blog and see how you are.. and i expect "great" things so don't let me down.. but i will not post because you deserve better... you have almost become like a part of the family kinda person although i have never met you, and that speaks to your communications skills and ability to connect to people through your blog and in life.. Thank You Mikey for the oppurtunity to follow your life.. I WISH YOU THE BEST, DO GREAT THINGS........
ReplyDeleteOkay, so check this out.
ReplyDeleteI have pretty thick skin. While your comments do make me think, sometimes long and hard, I still know the difference between that which is correct and what is not. I don't think that giving up on my BLOG is the answer. In fact, I am not even telling you to tone down your posts. They teach me things, this most recent list of comments teaches me about love, true love. I have not tried to ignore you, I really haven't. I would like to pay more attention. But you have got to understand how much goes on in my life. I give so much, it is hard enough for me to put time and effort into the things that are right in front of my face. The things that are unseen, well they are just that. Take all things into consideration.
I miss you babe! Thank you for making me one of the many things in your life. Te amo!
