10 things I am thinking about right now...just in case you wanted to know!

10-it is raining and I used to not like the rain...but I am starting to like it more now that God has used the rain to remind me that he is God and that he is still in control! Plus...we are alive to be able to feel the rain on our skin...so thank you Jesus for another day! 9-days off never seem long enough! It makes me appreciate every moment even more! 8-the church we have went to the last 2 weeks shares the gospel during both worship services every Sunday morning...last week and today people made decisions to accept Christ! As pastor perry noble says all the time...that never gets old! It actually has been challenging me because I wonder why it is so easy for us to get so comfortable with not seeing people hear the gospel message...or for that matter sharing it ourselves????? 7-I miss folks from home (family & friends)! We love you all! We hope to see u soon! 6-faith is a walk...not just talk! -James 2:20 says...But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? ...I say that because us moving and walking by faith is a huge step in our walk with God! But if we are not going to walk it out...it is just words! so it is not easy...but it is going to be worth it! What is he challenging you to walk out??? 5-my current places of employment that rhyme with 'rara' & 'rick-mil-way' are crazy busy and are just plain crazy at times! just wanted to throw that out there! 4-I love being here with my wife. How I missed her when we had to live away from each other for almost a month and a half! God has blessed me with an incredible woman of God! 3-I really stink about keeping up with this blog! 2-I am bout to watch 'fireproof' the movie again with some folks...it is a great movie! Stoked! ...and the #1 thing on my mind presently is... 1-I don't know what God is going to be doing with me and Amber here on the eastern shore but I know he has called us here for a reason during this season of our life! I still struggle with moments of doubt and lots of questions...but he is God and if he says he's got us...I know he's got us! We are all here on purpose for a purpose...us and you! Don't forget that Gods got you! And if you choose to follow him and trust him...you can't go wrong! be encouraged and blessed! Keep chasing the Lion & the Goose! thanks for reading and thanks for praying! -jimmy akers ps. still checking my pastorjimmyakers@gmail.com even though I currently hold no pastoral position at a specific church. holla back!
