Intimacy Sparked by Illness

It is amazing how our great God works. In times of financial strain God breaks us and allows us to realize our spiritual strain. Lately I have tried to pick up some hours to help out a friend but I am home sick with a cold. I really could use the money to pay some bills, but God must have other plans. "Fast from people? Fast from certain foods? (liquid diet) But more importantly spend more time with Me." Now this was not an audible voice but I know God is working through this telling me to focus on Him, pray for those in need and to clean up my walk so as to focus on descision making.

Once again God has placed many options in my path, but He waits for me to call on His wisdom and to rely on His Spirit to lead me on. May we each take time to reflect on this today.

Back from Russia

Finally I am writing again. In the past few days I have been praying, connecting, and unpacking. I wait for my wife to return and pray daily for the passport to be delievered quickly. These next few weeks are very important for spending quality time with God nd seeking His divine Wisdom. Making life choices about provision of your family thrugh employment and service in the community is vital to my accountability in the Body and also vitl for my obedience to the calling on my life.
Paul wrote to Timothy that man must provide for His family. Today this includes meals, housing, transportation, health insurance, and so much more. This is what I desire to do.

The time in Russia was full of loving family, discovering hearts, and communicating Christ through modeling in our walk.
