First Week working in Savannah

I have been in Savannah for a little more than a week.  Trisha, Trey and I are getting back into a routine together.  It has been amazing coming home to my family after work.  I missed them terribly!!

This week has been a different experience.  I started my new job cutting grass for a large private club here in Savannah.  They have 6 championship golf courses.  These are beautiful!! My job is to work on a crew with a few guys.  We maintain the landscaping and parking lots around the club houses and swim and tennis areas. (I also get to play for free whenever I want!!)  The job itself is work.  I spent five and 1/2 years getting my body into shape for my previous job (sitting in a desk driving a computer) thus it is not quite in shape for this job yet.

On top of the hard work, God has used this job to humble me.  I went from being a Network Engineer lead technician – to a guy who cuts grass and wears a uniform.  I spent 5 years working my way up to a well respected employee of a great company to the guy that alot of people look down upon.  I took a lot of pride in my job at Cbeyond.  I taught myself cutting edge technology and became the person people went to with questions in my group.  Now I cut the grass.  God  is humbling me.  He is taking down my prideful self one wall at a time.  With each step of faith Trisha and I make, God takes something else, but with everything He takes, He gives me more of Himself. The more of me I give up, the more of Him I get.

Christ MUST increase – I MUST decrease!!!!
