observations of monday

So I need to say thanks to my buddy Joey, b\c he helped us out with the funding for the martial arts program! He sent out an email explaining our situation and plan and we had an answer form an organization in Peoria Illinois that is sending $200 for the shirts and in addition to that some of our supporters have been kind enough to give extra just for this need! All I can say is that I am constantly humbled by the body of Christ as we serve each other and it gives me hope on days like today when there seems to be so much poop mixed in our functioning of the church.
So I do these assessment meetings for the organization and the advantage of that is I get a great view of all that is going on in the ministry, the disadvantage of that is that I get a great view of all that is going on in the ministry…Be that as it may, this is one area I am able to serve here. And I’m selfishly asking for your prayers as our family in Christ. I need wisdom and discernment, and a peaceful tongue, and patience, and self control, and hope, and the list could continue…so please be praying for me in these endeavors. Change is painful and slow usually…
As for more exciting things, Tammy has been really enjoying her new job, which I know she is filling you in on, and we are constantly amazed at how God saves us from our ignorance so often.. His plan is always better than our own! Thankfully…
Another area you can be praying for is our friend Andrea, she graduated with me and is considering moving up here to help in the ministry as a grant writer, but the challenges of discerning God can sometimes be difficult and challenging. She has some another offer in Cincinnati that she is considering as well. So pray that she can find peace in the decision making process and go as God leads her, even if that’s not here =(
So anyway, life progresses and it was a wonderful 59 degrees this morning…I love winter…and I am enjoying the climate change. And I love lunch….which is calling me. God bless you guys, and much love.
