be still

Be still and know that I am God. That's what I am really getting a hold of over the last few weeks. It has been so good to attend a church where no one really knows me...except God that is. It has been refreshing to hear from Him and ponder what He has for me. It has been good to really focus on my family and make sure I am caring for them. Rest from ministry is a good thing, something I have not truly done in about 10 years...yes I've taken vacations...but this is different. I don't have to go back Monday morning...it is so refreshing. Will I reengage into ministry?Absolutley...when it's God's timing. Maybe a month and maybe few more than that. When I do jump in I know it will be in God's timing. Be still and know that I am God. It's good to know that he has things in control...and I can be still.

hey there

Been a little busy lately. Last week was the first full week doing carpet cleaning. Had a good week and learned a lot. I have been able to work with my son on some jobs and that has been really rewarding. I am thankful for the time we have spent together.

Today I attended a church here in town, it was so refreshing. No one knew me...at least anyone who knew me didn't see me (I slipped in and slipped out). It was great to just been known by God and sit back and let Him speak. This is the first time in almost 10 years that I felt like I was able to really totally relax in church. I'm not complaining about ministering over the last decade...it was just different and good.

I think these next couple months will be really good...I'm excited to see God work.
