Sorry, it has been awhile since I’ve been on here and
updated my blog. I have been very busy with moving to Shreveport and adapting
to all the changes in my life. Not only am I adapting to the move to Shreveport,
LA, but also having a new job, and a new boss. The funny thing is, even though
it hasn’t been easy, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
All
these sudden changes has brought me so much closer to God and has really
allowed God to develop in me a person that I never thought I could ever become.
There are so many times during this time I can remember being in my room,
praying, ‘God use me, just use me, do whatever you need to do to use me’. God
has been answering this prayer in my life, and it has continued to bring me
closer to God and increasing my faith.
Well
the first thing is just getting adjusted to being in a new city with new people
and a new church. Honestly it didn’t take me that long of a time to adjust, the
hardest thing was just being 200 miles away from Mandy, which I’m so happy it didn’t
turn into 5,000 miles away. However, I do like the new church I’ve been
attending and working with called, Shreveport Community Church, it’s bigger
than my church in Houston but the same God still shows up. The people are
extremely friendly there and they really make me feel welcome here in this
place and church.
As far
as my job is concerned, it’s been different going from being a GM in a
restaurant to an armor bearer, one thing I can say is it’s been extremely
humbling. I think that was God’s plan for me the whole entire time though,
because well, I may have been a little too prideful in my previous job, which
was silly thinking about it now because God really took me to the heights of that
job, it wasn’t me. Another thing that’s different about my job is that I sit
behind a desk a lot more. I’ve been working on some material and projects for
Pastor Irvin, stuff that he wants to use and teach at either N2N or GET, but it’s
been very good for me because it requires a lot of very in depth bible study
which I really enjoy doing.
Working
as Pastor Irvin’s armor bearer has been such a huge blessing in my life, I’m
learning from him all the time and get to hear so many stories and share in his
wisdom. It has been a little ruff trying to get used to my new responsibilities
but one thing about being a missionary is the willingness and ability to adjust
and adapt quickly.
Thank you
for all those who pray with me and support me and ask for your continued
support. I am still in great need of financial support for Mandy and I both.
Please pray about your support and let God guide you in your gifts. You can
