A New Year

Sweet Pea Tuckered Out From Christmas

Here it is and we already a month into 2011. It just seems like yesterday that our precious little one was born, and now she is almost 4 months old. She has grown so much and we are watching her experience new things each day. It is amazing to me how innocent a child is and how dependent they are on their mother or fathers. This really got me to thinking about how many times we try to do things on our own when we should know better. God (our heavenly Father) is always with us and is asking us to lean and depend upon him. As this new year is unfolding, I am learning more and more that to rely on God is something that not only should be done, but something that should be looked forward to. We should look forward to the times when we can’t accomplish something on our own and say God, please help me. Right now we are currently asking God to help us as we plan our return to Kenya, Africa this coming summer and we are looking forward to being at RVA for another year. We would ask that you continue to pray for us and for the finances that we need to come in so that this can happen. It is also with much excitement that I am in the process of forming a business to help churches and businesses with their technology needs. As many of you know, I have been providing for my family by fixing computers, building websites, and getting temporary jobs when possible. All of this has been an incredible blessing and I have enjoyed doing these jobs, but none of them have produced a steady income for my family. Recently, I was given the book “No More Mondays” by Dan Miller from my wife. In his book, Dan talks a lot about finding out what you are truly passionate about and your true calling from God. He then admonishes the reader to form their career around this. Currently, I am still in the beginning phases of forming my business and what it will entail, but I am very excited about all the opportunities that lie ahead. I plan on using my business to help as many churches and organizations learn how to spread the Word of God throughout the world. Please pray with me that as I brainstorm, talk with churches, and share my vision, that everything will be clear and concise. Thank you all for you prayers and may God Bless each and every one of you.
