I was half asleep when I posted and did not see your post when I submitted my post. Happy to read point one and two and will remember point three for the future...
About ministry, God sees the heart and the motives, that just about covers it all.
Happy to see you rose from the ashes and are now loving your new married life, I know it encourages me and others.
God's promise to provide for my needs have held true, His desire to meet the desires of my heart have also been demonstrated time after time after time. Sure there is still pain but even before the divorce, there was pain. I sense you have seen this in your life as well.
By the way, I just met one of the most awesome brothers ever during my Hawaii trip whose name happens to be Chazz. looking forward to getting to know you better as well.
church and indigestion- God's plan Mid week service was Awesome!!!!! I missed my home church and felt home again last night. Saw many who were praying for our team, lots of hugs and sharing about our trip. We had AWESOME worship, prayer for the sick, communion and more, a total blessing.
Hadn't had dinner so I went with my closest brother to a place we hadn't been in a long time and almost went to two other places because others were going elsewhere. We decided to just stay with plan A and spoke in great detail about prayer and the battles in the spiritual realm. As we left we encountered one of the workers we had known a bit as he walked back through the parking lot to the burger joint. I was prompted to ask how he was and we learned that he had just informed his drug using wife he was leaving her after 10 years. God arranged this appointment to counsel, pray and encourage him. (He hadn't seen us in a while and I shared that we almost went to two other places that night. If he had arrived 5 minutes earlier or later we would have missed him or likely just said "hi" as he walked behind the counter)
Such a conversation would likely not take place when he is behind the counter because this joint hustles like I have never seen, no one stands still for a second but, in God's perfect timing there we were to aid this young man. I pray for him, his wife and his kids, that a miracle will occurr.
I will make it a point to help in any way I can, especially prayer. It won't be hard to remember him, his name is the same as Mr. X's, something we laughed about when we spoke last night as he said, "no, I guess you won't forget my name now." No, I won't, nor will I forget to have God work through me in any way He desires.
Spain!!!!! The door for me to go to Spain in 11/21-12/3 seems to be opening a bit more. Last night the pastor heading up the trip gave me the application confirming that my limited Spanish will not be a barrier to participating. (I will accelerate my proficiency between now and then, something I have wanted to do for the last two years). Yesterday I found out that my work committments at that time of the year are less stringent than I originally thought and it seems conceivable that I could request that time off.
Oh, by the way, have I said how much I love my life?
Off to work!
