Psalm 27:1

The bronchitis has finally started to go away, I’m still having minor difficulties breathing but it’s much better then it was. It’s been a long run and I’ll be glad when its all done and over with. Thanks for the prayers and patience.
Classes have finally started again! Truth be told I’ve been waiting all summer for this. The classes are difficult, but well worth it. I’ve tried going away for college, but it’s not the same depth nor do I appreciate it as much as learning how to serve in my own church. I am sure that it’s the Lord’s will for me to get my training where the work gets done. I’m thankful that Pastor takes the time to study for and teach these classes. I know that they are much more of a drain on him then they are for me.
Not that I’m easily drained, especially now that my boss has moved me from full time to part time. He seems to think that the schedule for school and work that we’ve had in place for a year now won’t work anymore. I’ll be looking for a new job, one hopefully with benefits, and pay, lots of pay if possible.
Pray for me in this, with all the many things that are going on right now it will be easy to get discouraged. But I’m reminded of Psalm 139, my favorite out of the book. It’s a praise piece to God. While acknowledging God’s omniscience, omnipresence and omnipotence it gives comfort in that those attributes are used to protect and comfort His children. I don’t know God’s will in this, but this I do know, the Lord has never hung me out to dry, never allowed a problem that I could not see His hand of mercy. It does not matter to me whether the great shepherd has slung a rock at this sheep to get me to behave, or if this obstacle must be hopped over to get to the greener pasture, either way the Lord will have His way. 2 Corinthians 5:9
