I first began blogging after failing the Texas Bar back in November of 2008. Well if you didn't follow my other blog I am happy to report I took it again in February 2009 and passed it.. I found blogging to be a way I could release all of my feelings.. all of the things that bothered me... For those of you that know me I internalize everything, I carry my feelings inside of me and I only let people in when the ish has hit the fan... Well, I decided to discontinue that blog because it showed a lot of the pain that I went through during that period although it served as an inspiration to many... The past blog name was selected by a good friend of mine, a fellow blogger. This time I decided to choose a name that I feel defined who I was, what I wanted, where I wanted to go, and the complexity of my life. My life is so complex and the issues I deal with day in and day out does not reflect the current mindset I have... Whenever I sit and tell people the ish I deal with they always say its unreal you are not in the crazy house..... From having responsibilities that are not mine, to doubting myself and my vision, being unsure of just what I want to do in life... The seas have calmed and now I am on a new path... living a new vision... one that requires me to take care of me.. look out for me.. put myself and my needs first.. learning valuable lessons that I will apply in the future...
The reason I chose son of jacob/israel is because I identify with Joseph son of Jacob(Israel) in the Bible.. God had a plan for Joseph although he was confused and at times bewildered by what just what it was God had in store he stayed the course... from him being sold by his brothers.. to working as a slave for Egypt's second in charge, to being thrown in jail, followed by the interpretation of Pharoah's dream, to him being second in charge to Pharoah only to help the same people who sold him captive.. Joseph's story is chronicled in Genesis 37-50.... It serves as inspiration. I often said the coat of many colors adorned him by his father represented each stage or trial he would have to go through... I also chose this name because this is the first time the name Joseph is mentioned in the Bible.. other notable Joseph's was the step-father of Jesus and Joseph or Arimethea who provided the tomb for Jesus' burial... Throughout the Bible Joseph was an important character... You might wonder where am I am going with this... Well Joseph didn't know he would be the step-father to the Saviour... Joseph of Arimethea didn't know that his tomb would house the body of the Saviour for 3 days.. The three Josephs did not know the plans God had for them but HE always worked out whatever it was...
Here I begin, starting over wondering just what GOD has in store me... its so hard to choose a path when there are so many to choose... God has given me a talent to excel at whatever I decide to try... I can honestly say I do not know where I will end up but I am ready for the journey.. ready to write new chapters and complete old ones.. One chapter I vow to close is looking for everyone to agree with decisions I choose to make.. some of the best decisions are the unpopular ones.. I'm learning that.... People will get over it eventually.. It was such a great brouhaha over healthcare reform.. people are now over it... tough decision but it was made... So i am taking to the pavement.. chasing them seeing where they end up.. not afraid to make mistakes.. For I have been chosen to lead... Here is my New Beginning.. Here I AM!!! A New Start... Let's Get this Rolling!!!!
