Suggestions

Since I last posted my family and I have been through some trials, some tough times. All of you who read this can probably relate to going through some tough times in your life. You can be praying for my Aunt who has cancer. You can also be praying about a place for us to move. At the end of September we need to move to save money on rent. Please pray that God provide a place to live close to OMF so we can also save money on gas. At OMF I am working on the help desk and fixing computers when they break. I am so glad that God has given me the ability to fix computers. Sometimes these computers can be such a hassle.

The Balance

My wife and I both enjoy photography and the joy it brings. To take pictures reminds us not only of our past but what God's creation is about. In the picture above that my wife Melissa took a few weeks ago, you can see the wonderful cloud formations that are there. Notice the bird near the bottom. With the trials we all are going through in this economy we can be reminded that God feeds even the birds of the air. I pray that we can all give over every ambition, and give control of everything over to Christ. I struggle with giving the Lord control of everything. So if you could pray with me that I can overcome this struggle and give control of everything to the Lord.

Luke 12:23-25
23Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life[a]?

He will provide for all of us. So as you go on through your day remember that God is who he is, just that, God.

Pray that God will continue to provide for all our needs. This morning I was reminded about what God says in Haggai 2:3-9, that God will provide for those who are doing his work. God declares that the silver and god are His.

Haggai 2:3-9
3 'Who of you is left who saw this house in its former glory? How does it look to you now? Does it not seem to you like nothing? 4 But now be strong, O Zerubbabel,' declares the LORD. 'Be strong, O Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land,' declares the LORD, 'and work. For I am with you,' declares the LORD Almighty. 5 'This is what I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt. And my Spirit remains among you. Do not fear.'

6 "This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. 7 I will shake all nations, and the desired of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD Almighty. 8 'The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the LORD Almighty. 9 'The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,' says the LORD Almighty. 'And in this place I will grant peace,' declares the LORD Almighty."

New Look

For those of you reading my blog, you will notice the look of my blog changed. I have been working on a new look for sometime. The Japanese character you see stands for truth. Let the truth of Christ be heard to all the people. Remember tomorrow is the Mid Year Day of Prayer.

Prayer Requests
-Continued prayer for me as I balance ministry, school, work & family.
-That I can work out any family indifference's that we have against each other and that we can come to an understanding.
-Pray that God would continue to guide me to do his work.

Psalm 25:10 "Every path he guides us on is fragrant with his loving kindness and his truth."
