After we came back from face to face, it has taken me a long time to get back into a rhythm of school work. The day after I returned I found out that I will be let go at my job because they can no longer afford to keep me. My wife is seven months pregnant, and will not be able to work for a while after the delivery. This is stressful.
It is almost Christmas time and this means a very busy season for me at the church. This year we are producing "A Charlie Brown Christmas." This means not only choir responsibilities, but building sets, and directing kids. On top of that, we are currently without a youth pastor. Cairistiona and I have stepped up to help fill the role while the church searches for the next youth pastor. One work: Chaos.
As I was leaving PREP the day I was let go, a peace came over me. I can only explain it as a peace that surpasses understanding. I should be freaking out (trust me I do have my moments). However, for the most part I have felt a calmness in my spirit. This is nothing else accept a gift of God's grace. There are reasons to be upset with PREP, but I am not. God is doing something new, and it is a privilege to have the opportunity to ride with Him.
I trust you Lord. I pray you will take care of my family. Glory be to you forever and ever...
