I preached a sermon....

I have so much to be thankful for that I don’t really know where to start. First I apologize for the long hiatus since my last blog entry. Things have been a little busy and things have been good. From a ministry standpoint, I have just returned from preaching at Harvest North Palm Beach County, just north of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida....AND.... I don't have a lot of time to recount my time down there. So... what I'll do instead is let you just listen to my sermon. Check it out.
here is the link. www.harvestnpbc.org on the lower right hand corner click on the link to listen to the sermon. PLEASE post comments and let me know what you think. Until later.... peace! I'll give more details about the visit to Florida soon... I am looking forward to being back in Phoenix this weekend - PRAISE THE LORD

God is teaching me

Below is an excerpt from an email reply that I sent to a friend today... just thought it would be helpful for those of you who want to know how I feel and what is going through my head

I am doing well. I think from time to time how nice it would be to be in a relationship.. but yesterday, especially, I was comforted by the God of all comfort. I was physically alone all day, but not once did I feel lonely. I had confidence that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. I dropped to my knees last night and found myself praying for a lot of my single brothers that God would comfort them... however they need to be ministered to. That is a personal note.

Work is not "hard" right now per se. Remember I came from working three jobs and being a student simultaneously, time wise... the tough part is NOT having a lot to do. I hate wasting time and I don't want to waste any time. The hard thing is staying focused. You know the saying, "it's easy to stay organized when you are busy". I am learning in the program, but I have come to realize that the reason that I am here is to: 1. reconcile broken relationships with whomever I have broken ones 2. to grow to trust in my dependency on God 3. To learn ALL OVER AGAIN (smile) how to reach out to people who are unlike me and people who need a touch from the Lord but don't know how to ask. I have been privileged to know Him intimately and I have a call to help others walk closer to Him and with Him.

I am encouraged...
