Waiting is always the hardest part.

Well we have been preparing for the move to Maine and the only thing left is a place to lay our heads at night which we know God is going to provide on His time. This is the hardest part because we have searched and see the need for Jesus in this state. We also feel a burden that comes from God for the lost in this state. The one thing we must learn is to be patient and wait on God to provide and not try to jump ahead which we all know is human nature. Paul says we must over come the flesh. I believe Paul is the one who knew about over coming the flesh. Think about all the abuse he took we would have to fight back we would not stand there and take it like he did. Paul counted it a blessing! Can we look at it that way? When God does not make things happen on our time we get mad and upset and say God is not listening to us but this is not the case at all. God is making things happen on His time which is the perfect time. We never know how much we mess things up when we jump ahead of God instead we blame God for all the crap in our lives. It would all be perfect if we would just let God do things His way and stay out of it! Well so far it has been a great day and like everybody else pastors and their families struggle with stupid stuff we know God is taking care of but we want to put our noses in it and we have to let God spat us on our hand and say get back. LOL.

Legacy!!!

This is brought to you from a conversation I had with my dad. To start this story off right I will say this. The man I call my dad is not the man who "donated" yeah you know what I am saying. When my mom meet the man I call dad he was not a Godly man he said to me today "I did not start out showing you the right way to be a man" I stopped him right there and told him "you give your self to Christ and showed me how to be a man of God before I died and stood before God and spent eternity in hell". You see the big thing here to me is this man does not have kids of his own but he made the statement today that he now has a legacy and that is me and my kids. How AWESOME is that! To me that says his greatest life work is showing me how to be a man of God and me passing it on to my children. This is what I call a AWESOME dad. Not only is he a awesome dad he is a grandfather to my children a man I know they love and he loves them and it makes to know God put this man in our family to be a Shepard for our family and I know I would not be the man I am today if it was not for him showing me how and loving me even when I messed up. I say all of this for this purpose God works in very odd ways in our lives. It is always the people we least expect to make a difference in our lives that always make the biggest difference. Lets take a trip back to the Old Testament look as Moses in todays terms Moses would be "special" because he speech problems. Look at what all he done,all the miracles God done through him. Someone we would a retard done some of greatest things of his time. Now look at the disciples modern day bad boys but they changed the world! This all comes down to this we ALWAYS put labels on people before we give them a chance but we never look at them from Gods eyes. What if stepdad, stepmom, the crazy old lady in the creepy house or who ever it is always remember to see what God is up to before you place judgement on someone God might have sent to change your life.
