God's Sense of Humor

Wow, is God good or what? As you know our marriage has survived a very difficult time. We are healing and God is moving very quickly in our lives.


Last December, we visited CCV and felt like God was really speaking to us as we listened to Pastor Don Wilson deliver the message. We felt at peace as we sang the worship songs and chatted with those seated around us as well as those we spoke with after the service.

In this last series of messages, Pastor Don spoke about stepping out and taking risks and doing what God has called you to do for Him. Well we are doing just that. Sunday we attended the first steps class and spoke with members of the staff further about our ministry to be available for those who are struggling in their marriages. It was confirmed again that this is the ministry God has called us to and we are to further pursue His plan.

Today I spoke with the Staff and learned that with a new church plant, they have lost a few coaches to assist with the new church and the ministry at the new location and there is an immediate need for coaches like Vicki and myself. As God would only do, the person I spoke to quoted a quote we have been using for a long time. "God does not waste any hurt", "He uses it to strengthen us and for us to be the pillars when those around us are hurting". WOW......Another confirmation of God speaking to us.

During my conversation, I learned we will be attending training in the next two weeks and the training falls on days in which my work schedule does not conflict. Further, following the training, we will become members of the pastoral care staff and will work directly with the pastors and the persons facing difficult times in their marriages.

As part of CCV's strategy we have found a neighborhood group just blocks away from our home.  This will allow us to further reach the neighborhoods for Christ and allow us to actively involved in our neighborhood with the ministry God has called us to. 

I/we are so excited to see how God ahs lead us out of the desert and is taking us to higher ground to work with Him thus giving the glory directly to Him. What an awesome God we serve.

We ask continued prayer for us as we continue to follow God's calling in our lives.
