I am blessed! Today as I was praying before lunch as I do every other day I couldn’t help but just feel blessed. I was thanking God for the beautiful day and my job and a few other things when all I could say was thank you. In the past year my life has changed completly. One year ago I had a girl friend my job was an equiptment operator digging swimming pools and I lived in San Diego. I had many christian friends and was very involved with my church. I had no intention of moving and was very happy and definatly felt blessed by God. I started to pray about Erin and taking the next step and now look where I am. It was like a whirl wind effect and my life has all new meaning or rather all new direction. After the five month rush to plan and have the wedding of our dreams it has been a giant roller coaster ride. But this ride never seems to stop with the 180* downhill thrill ride of my life. I have my hands raised reaching toward God and a smile from ear to ear. All along with my best friend and now beautiful wife next to me. I am blessed. You probably know, we have moved to PA and have jobs and have a new church we are trying to get connected with. I am currently helping with the high school ministry. It is great fun. We are both blessed with great jobs and have found out that the owners of the company are christian.(BTW..you may have read I hurt my back but I am doing much better, I even went for a bike ride today a feel like 97.98%. thanx for the prayers) I have no problem talking about Jesus and God to anyone but it sure helps if your own boss is fine with it too. In fact he invited us to check out his church this weekend. I am siked. Erin and I are on our third rent free month and are getting pretty good at house watching. We have had many pets while watching the farm and now even have three kids. The other night I started to ask them their beliefs since their mom goes to church every week. They know the basics but struggle with the faith. Some things of God are just unexplainable. That’s why they are from God and not man. Our minds are more complicated than we can understand and He made them. Dugh!! Just let it go and give Him the credit. At the end of the month we get to make another road trip this time to Georga. I am really excited to meet my team and get to know every one I keep reading about. After that just two more short months and WE ARE OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to jump out of my pants. What an oppertunity. As if the summer time isn’t allready fun enough even with both erin and I birthdays we are leaving for the biggest adventure of our lives. Also I found out three weeks ago my big brother is getting married. We became pretty close after we lived together for 6 years in SD. And I get to go back to Cali and have some real mexican food. YES!!! My life is great. Remember when I was talking about that smile from ear to ear, well It’s happening again. God is blessing us with the start of the funds to go on this grand journey and I just know with all He lined up for this to happen it’s only a matter of time. When people ask how the support is going I just say, “God is good and we are still praying.” Even my parents back in Colorado are helping with bingo nights and bowl o rama. I talked to an old high school friend last night that I have been trying to reach for a few but just haven’t. Anyway… after we cought up I was telling him about the wonderful trip and he then told me he would like to help. After my suprisement he said his dad is in charge of the missionary support for his church. WOW. Isn’t God just the best. I had no idea. God just loves to hook us up and all we have to do is love. Well…. I just had a few things to share but it turned into this. If you actually read it all I hope it made you smile too. When we begin to worry and are trying to figure out if God is still watching over us, just let him do his thing. He is in controll. So hold on because it’s gunna be the ride of yor life. HAHA . I make myself laugh. Please pray for my wife and I as well as my team. Times are rough but think of what could happen in a year.
