Scene 1 ACTS 1

Sometimes God answers prayers quickly others not so.

In my last post I asked for prayer concerning Nursery Shepherd and the Philippines.

Well he has answered me for one of the two. Calvary has asked a couple to be the new shepherds. Which they took me aside after the announcement to talk about there decision with me. They said that I was the number one choice and that they had heard on the grapevine (my mother) that I had already filled out an application for the mission trip and I was worried that if they asked me I would turn them down because I didn't want to have to step down after 6 months because it was time to leave for my mission trip. They also said that if I go and come back or if I was not selected to go that if I am ready to step up (if in God's will)into a leadership role they have one for me.

The other prayer has not been answered. So will you please continue to pray for clarity for those who choose those that are going. Those that God wants to go.

Thank you God bless!

That was a lengthy absence

Hello everyone. Sorry for the loooooooong time between posts. I have been a very busy.

Now to let you know what has been going on. After I got better I was slammed with work. I was basically going in to work at 6:30 in the morning and getting off anywhere between 8:30-9:00 at night for about two weeks. Which was not fun. Truthfully it was fun on payday which more then made up for the work. Then it was finals week and anyone who has ever been to college knows what that is like. Finally my access last week was limited to almost non existent.

So I finally have time and I would like to share with you doors that which have been opened to me as of today. I also have decisions to make and pray for.

1.I work in the nursery at church on Sunday's and our team sheppard resigned and the consensus is that they will ask me to step up and take the position. I am hesitant to accept this position for two reasons 1. I will no longer be in my room taking care of the babies in there 2. Normally the position is held by a married couple and since I am without a wife it maybe a strain on me emotionally and physically. I am willing to take the position by the fact that God wants us to leave our comfort zone and obey

2. My daily job is that I heating ventilation and cooling tech. And there is a need for someone to go on a mission trip to teach a couple maintenance personnel to maintain, service, and repair refrigeration equipment (around 65-70 units) in the Philippines.

so with that said all I ask is that you pray for the guidance only God can give and His clarity to make my decision.
