such is life!
well, i believe it is time to update. life has been alittle hectic as of late. indeed my grandmother is not in nor of this world any longer, praise the Lord!! her funeral was the best i have ever attended. it was indeed a celebration and a tribute. there are a great many things i like about the salvation army, but perhaps the one that stands out now is the way they treat death. during her funeral the word death, or dead, or died was not spoken. she did not die, she was "promoted to glory" oh how wonderful the thought! she is not gone, or "passed" she is promoted to the glory of God most high, amen brother, praise the Lord, get out that white hanky sister johnson and start hollerin' cause folks, grandma is home!!!
on another note. um.... i dunno.
alot going on at the church, i would appreciate prayer in that area. the ministries the Lord has blessed me with are going great. and that is due to the King only! however, can i share alittle of what is going on.
it has been awhile now, i have been praying about leaving st. paul's. not out of anger or spite or anything of that nature, the reason is very simple. i need to expand my horizons, st. paul's is all i've ever known. i need experience elsewhere. here is the issue. in recent days two people have come up to me and told me they hope i don't leave because the youth group would fall apart! (i am the nyi president, since we don't have a youth pastor anymore i am it!) i don't particularly find this to be true, however i understand what they are saying. now, not to "puff" myself up, but i came in with the church elections this year, i became nyi in july. since then the youth group has done a complete 180 in the good direction. instead of being a lose confederation of souls, they are now friends, they now attend regularly and care about the group. but that is not all me. i brought in a vision and let my leaders work their magic, that's it. oh and i brought God into the matter. (a small thing i know lol) anyway, i need direction on this deal. so some prayers would be appropriate.
as always i pray for you. the broken, the sick, the hungry, the naked, the prisoner, the lost, i pray for you in all things, the outcast from society is on God's wishlist, and i am the matchmaker, that is my work on this earth.
The Lord be with you all!
