good day to you...

A few things... Our last day at new covenant 2 Sundays ago was amazing. We got to spend time with a bunch of folk we care a lot about and I got to preach my last sermon that night at the church. We got blessed in many ways including hugs, prayers, encouraging words and some money that will help us in our move in a pretty big way! Thank you Jesus...and Thank you everyone that came and blessed us! My favorite part of the day by far was at the end of the service when I got to lead some songs of worship to God with my new cov. friends. It felt so good to just worship God! He is worthy! We have about 2 1/2 more weeks left until I move down and we move our junk into the apartment. Thursday Feb. 26th is the move day so if some of you folk that volunteered to help wanna come...holla and let me know. We showed the house this week...it went pretty good...and we are still praying for God to help us sell it or to give us the money we need to pay the loan off so we can bless someone with the house! How awesome would that be! He is able! Also keep praying for financial provision. God has blessed us so much in ways that we don't deserve...but without him this is not gonna work out. I guess just pray for us to trust him...because there is no doubt he is gonna help us through it all. He is God...so yeah...just pray! Thanks! 2 more things...this morning...I played drums with a new band I am in (side note: the jim akers band is not over) but anyways (it is pretty funny cause I don't even have a drum kit...lol) and we got to play pre-service at premier winterfest in O.C. Maryland this morning. It went really well. It was a great opportunity and experience and I pray that God was blessed in what we did! We also got to see some of our teens and friends from ignite! So last thing...sometimes people ask me why I share so much personal things with people (some examples: needs, worries, my weight battle, financial stress and spiritual battles). So why...well I say why not? There is some things I do not share...but I believe that God may be able to use my lack, doubt and struggles to encourage someone else. You are not alone...and by sharing in the battles sometimes the victories and testimonies seem to be sweeter! I try to walk out what I talk and live a transparent life. I am a screw up and I am nothing without Christ...but through him I can do all things...in him I can live, move and have my being...there is hope and strength found in who he is! I am a real person in need of a savior and Jesus is that! We serve a BIG, HOLY and AMAZING GOD! I don't understand all he is up too....but I know this! GOD IS GOOD!
