Hi all

I just wanted to share with everyone how amazed I’ve been by God the last while. I know from my other posts I just sound bitter and grumpy but that is not the case at all. God has been blowing me away the last few weeks. 

You know when things are just clicking between you and God every little details seems to be taken care of and you always seem to have just what you need. That’s totally been happening during my time in scripture. It’s been fantastic as God has been revealing things to me just as I need them in quite a remarkable way. 

I’m in the final stretch of my job and I had no idea what this time was going to be like or how I was going to handle it. While I am kind of sad about the big change I have been enjoying a wonderful peace the last while. I’m the kind of person who can stew about things and let them build up inside of me and I was worried about becoming bitter at this time in my journey. To my amazement I’m feeling light and free right now.  Feeling like I have specific purposes each day (despite the current busyness) and that something exciting is just around the corner. This is exactly what I was hoping would happen as the weight of ministry was lifting. 

Even on a financial level. Daily my wife and I are being shown we will more than taken care of. Financial worry can often be found in our house but again the peace we are all feeling right now is incredible. 

How do I know all this peace I’m feeling right now is of God? Because I’m also feeling challenged. Each day God is showing me things in my life that need fixing or changed. I’m feeling very convicted about things as a husband, father and man in the community that I need to be doing. 

While this is a big time of change I am thankful that God is leading me through it. While there is sadness each day it is becoming clearer this is the right decision. While there are challenges I am excited about the blessings and the future to come.
