Our family is still here. Mom sends out her own e-mail pictures to her list and dad doesn't blog as often as he likes, but keeps being inspired by other blogs to persevere until it becomes habit (He does have about a million blog ideas, just not the time to sit down and type as often as he would like).
God is blessing our family. Puddin' is growing like crazy and this morning when mom walked in and checked on her after her morning nap, she was sitting up in her crib. So, now we must drop the mattress down a level. She is such a blessing and manages to get her dad to stop working on the computer in the evenings to play her. Right now, her favorite is the being rolled over and over across the bed. We are definitely blessed.
Things are going well at work, although moving up to management has been a tough transition. It's hard to find people who want to work on commission now days. I still lack finding one more person to hire before I can officially be a manager (right now I'm acting as a manager, but not reaping the benefits of the manager). I've struggled over the last few years about being in a "secular" job, after all I trained for the ministry...and often asked is this where I'm suppose to be Lord? Shouldn't I be preaching. But through some close friends and very intimate worship times God has made it evident this is where I'm suppose to be at this time in my life. And he has given me a passion for my job and a vision how to run my district in a way that hopefully will best glorify him. I'll probably share that in the next blog, it's too detail to go in here. But, this blog will be my outlet to share what God is showing me in Scripture. Last night, as Amber and I talked and I shared how I think God is showing me to run my district, it excited me and I have a desire to allow him to shine through me whether it be in the church or the boardroom.
But just as awesome as God is, he has given us a ministry. We will be stateside prayer coordinators for a missionary from our church (I'm sure you will be hearing more about Dr. T in upcoming blogs). Briefly, he is a national from a southeast asian country that is closed and has come and received training and is going back to his home country knowing persecution may follow but willing to share the gospel. We had a chance to hear him share his testimony a few weeks ago and it was the most passionate I had heard in a long time, in fact it drove me to my knees asking for that passion in my life. It will be exciting to be a small part of this man's ministry.
