Long Time Coming

It has been more than two years since I last wrote anything.  In that time God has brought our family through so many changes. We moved from south Louisiana to West Texas.  Not only is the culture different as night and day, but the climate couldn't be more opposite.  We went from extreme humidity and rain to extreme drought and dry.  I am now pastoring my second church in two years, third position in three.  Both my boys have been in four schools in the last two and half years.  Needless to say it has been tumultuous these last few years.  

Now, after all that, many would have given up and run the other direction.  I couldn't.  I knew and know that God works it all out for His glory and for my good.  To see where we've come from to where He has brought us, I can't say I would change anything.  I wish we didn't have to go through these things, but it is all part of this amazing journey.  God has shown us so much and taught a great many more lessons that we can now pass on to others.

I'm not perfect, but I serve a perfect God.  He has walked with us on this journey, every step of the way. He has led us by the hand through some of the most difficult times in our lives.  I didn't have to see the outcome, I only had to see His hand.  Now I want to share all that He has done.

Maybe you're struggling with what to do next and don't quite know what to do. Stop and give it ALL to Him.  God never promises a smooth journey.  He promises to never leave you or forget about you.  He will lead you through this journey.  Stay tuned to hear of some of the things that God has done and how you can take your situation and turn it into Glory for God.
