I know that it has been 5 months since my last posting. Here is an updated picture of the boys.

What a past 5 months it has been. I was let go from a job back in April. I searched for a couple months to try to find something locally and prayed for God to direct me where he wanted me to be.

Taking you back to my last blog I stated that I had been contemplating about how I was no where closer in my life with my career on where I wanted to be for the rest of my life.

Well God opened a door at a church in Hendersonville that I now minister at. We are having great services...I see that lives are being changed weekly and that I what it is all about. As the Hillsong song says, "Touching Heaven, Changing Earth"!!

It was a tough week last week. I had a lot going on at work and then I had to go to my 42 year old uncles funeral. I knew that it would hurt to see him gone but I didn't think that it would affect me that bad.

One of the ministers referred to the fact that he has sang his last song. And that we must continue to sing our songs whatever they might be. It just hit home with me on how important it is for me to be sure that I am singing a new song everytime that I minister.

I was reading a devotional a few nights ago that keeps reverberating in me. I shared in a meeting Thursday night and I thought I would include it in this blog.

Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don't try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way. If you don't know what you're doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help. (MSG)
