How good God is when lest expect it!

The saying is often stated "God is good." Then inreturn those around us would respond,"All the Time." Even as children we start off with a meal with "God is good, God is great..." But have you seen how God is good when you lest expect it. Well this week is one of those wonderful momments. As I was trainging to become a armor truck driver this pass week with 12 hour days of training. This is why there is a gap in the blog, so don't worry if you thought you lost days of my blog because you are everyday waiting on the the edge of your seat in aticipation. (lol) Back to my story, I recieved a phone call from a church I previously preached at in the pastor absence to a conference. That church lovely took a love offering that paid a bill that week that they did not even know about. Well during a break in my traing I listened to my messages on my phone and their was one from the pastor checking in on us and to tell us that church was moved by God that day and fell in love with Him and us. The church decided they wanted to support the church plant of God's. At that momment God placed His hand on my head and patted it has a father would his son in pleasure and security. Wow! As tear came to eyes I had the greatest relief and relaxation. We still have many needs, servants of the journey, and lost to witness to. But at that special momment I understood the responds of "ALL THE TIME!"

My Life?

Today I was reading a book called "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan. In his book is states, "So many of us think and live like the movie of life is all about us." This made me wander if I was living in that mindset. I say often "it not about you it is about Him", this refering to God. But am I living that statement. After wrestling for about an hour looking for the answer to this statement I went to the only answer book I have to be trustworthy and that is God's Word. In 1 Corninthians 10:31, "Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." I can live my life in the flesh and it will always be about me, mine, and I. Whoa is me, worry, stress will overtake my life. God did not intend life on earth to be peachy and cherry. That life is waiting in Heaven for those whose have a personal relationship with Christ. On the otherhand I can choose to live life in the Spirit, a life of trusting and obeying His will and direction. I have some tough times these last monthes with not having a job and strating this church. Money, worry, and stress pokes its nasty head each and everyday. But I have to choose am I going to live in the flesh or the Spirit. Flesh just leads to more misery, but the Spirit leads to the presence of God, He gives us a deeper peace and joy that transcends it all. To be brutally honest, it does not matter where you or I find ourselves right now as long it brings Glorly to God. We have to reflect and ask ourselves, "Is the point of my life is to point to God."

Faith Journey

Ok those three of you that look at this blog have reminded my to speak. So I will make a great effort to write in this blog. Even though God has not give me the great ability to write correctly. To be transparent I'm am very brothered by my writing abilities and making sense. I can never write good enough to make any sense of what I am trying to say. This is why you will never see a book or any lengthly writing from me because of my fear of sounding stupid through my writing. By I'm committed to writing in this blog if you are committed to overlook the mistake in punctuation or grammar. God gave me the passion to speak not to write. Enough say about that or in the wise word of Forrest Gump "That is all I got to say about that."

What is going on in our lives. I'm waiting patiently for a job with Brinks Inc. I'm going to soon be a pistol packing preacher or my new call sign is P3. We are home schooling Kaitlyn and Matthew,Jennifer is doing a great job. We have started to meet for Bible study on Thursday nights as we develop a core group. God is providing each day as we walk on this Faith Journey called obedience. For the last several Sunday's I have taught about 40 Korean Youth the foundations of the Bible. The parents are so honored that they took us to a Japanese steak house to say thank you for helping the young people to grow in the Lord. We ate like Kings and Queens. It was a humbling experience as we had been pinching pennies to make it that week. But each God provides in His own special way to let us know He is there and He will provide. Patrick is working two jobs. So we do not see much of Him. But he has developed some Godly friends his age from both sponsors churches which is an answered prayer. Well I have met my limited of writing more tomorrow. God Bless.

Christmas what is all about.

This pass Sunday I preached a sermon that I feel was one of those out of the park home run sermons. I'm told every Sunday by members that was a great sermon or that was your best which is not good because from the best is only down from there. You can not help to wonder if they are being nice or are they really telling the truth, only God knows. But this Sunday God set down on this sermon which I preached the "Cradle,Cross,and the Crown." I was reminded that Christmas was not about His birth, but His death on the Cross. The Cross was the ultimate goal that Christmas. The Crown was His climax of the Cross. Wow, what a Savior I serve that came to died on Christmas and the gift and visits were the lest of the focus that day. This Christmas is going to be different this year because of this picture. Christmas has always been special to me but this year God took it to another level for me. I wish you a Christ-filled Christmas because He truly is the reason for the season. To all my friends and family MERRY CHRISTMAS. Until next year this blogger is moving and will not be able to blog because there is so much to do. God bless and please prayer for us in this transition from Pastor to Church Planter.

Be sure your SINS will find you out!

Sometimes the sin is not worth it. Have you ever been caught in a sin. I have and I can say is like Momma says "Be sure your sins will always find you out!"

Hanging on my every word

Well bloggerville I know you hang on my every word...not! But today I would like to praise my Lord for his grace and provisions. I just received word that the FL Baptist Convention has approved my application for Pastoral assistance. They will fund us $1000.00/mo for a year to help us get started as Church planters. Wow!!!! My God is good. Just one thing to do now. Arise and Go for the harvest is white and ready for the message. So I leave you with thought "What is impossible for God?"
