I must inform all of you that my high school reunion has come and gone... I didn't reach my goal as originally planned. A few spiritual observations came from this experience, however and I'm not giving up. When you ask God for something you have to expect an answer, which will only come back either "yes", "no" or "wait"...
For me, I feel as though I wanted to reach the goal without the growth. I also would happen to perform a show where the theme was "Sweets & Comedy", which is what initially threw me off. After re-evaluating all this, I've been going strong since the beginning of this week. I've already lost a few pounds, as I rebound from not reaching my August Deadline. As of weighing myself this morning, I'm 239lbs. By this time next year if not sooner, I will be 165lbs.
If there's one absolute thing I learned in Bible College, which I credit to Dr. David Adams in response to praying for our Dean Dr. Ted Cabal who contracted cancer, is pray with purpose. Ask God specially for something and keep praying for it. I don't mean to disrespect those who pray "If it's your will..." but personally why not be bold and ask for God to show His power? Let Him who began this good work in us be glorified!
I don't know if I went into detail about this yet, as I tend to be paranoid at times, thinking I could jinx something, but I am doing a DVD taping with Comedian Thor Ramsey on October 1st, 2010 in Trenton, MI. This is awesome for me, as it was one of my goals when I first decided to do comedy, to work with Thor, and being that he called me, is such a blessing. Stay tuned for information about the DVD, as I will eventually make it available on my website, www.richjonescomedy.com which has also been recently updated... Thanks again for all your support and God Bless!!
