I know that I have not written in a looong time......
Mucho has been going on!
Wow, where to start... welll how bout just the short version???
My wife and I are back in Brownsville, TX and are pretty close to closing on our home.
Whaa????
in Brownsville?
Well yea.
Through prayer and what we believe is God using / preparing us for upcoming trails and blessings, we will be serving in Brownsville for the next few years in developing a discipleship center and working with the youth group.
So now my blog will have more to do with that, as my journey begins in making disciples working with young people, this will be both challenging and a lot of fun!!!!!
so I will keep you posted on all the craziness and following of our King Jesus in brownsville.
Two things i really want to say to all of you today.... one more important than the other....
the first and least important is that I will not be so much having a blog, but really i will be having a VLOG of some sort. I find that if i just post video up here, it will be a lot easier for me than to write something.... do no worry, the posts will not be 2 hours long, just like 2 minutes 20 seconds of updates and whatever is in my heart.
sooo., yea... just so you know.
The second, i do want to draw your attention to... and have your heart a for......
So, i found out some extremely bad news this morning.
Pastor Joel Stockstill's (He is an extremely gifted and anointed youth pastor at Bethany World Prayer Center in LA, whose messages have continuously changed my life) wife, Amy Stockstill passed away last night. Im not sure how old she was, like 25 probably, and they had been married like 2 years. I believe that it was cancer.
So this is an arduous task for us christian, as we bear one anothers burdens and weep with those who weep (Rom 12:15)
Please pray for Joel and Amy's family, as they are consoled by our powerful comforted. Please take some time today and lift them up in prayer.
I did not know Amy, or Pastor Joel for that instance, burt my heart goes out to them, and it hurts.
I can only imagine how my life would be crushed if Lisa was gone. I know it would be the same for all of you and your spouse (or future spouse).
So again, I ask you to carry this burden, and life up prayers full of faith fueled by love.
I am now reminded of one of my least favorite verses in the bible....
Psalms 39:4-5
Lord, make me to know my end, and what is the measure of my days, that I may know how frail I am.
Indeed you have made my days as handbreaths, and my age is nothing before you; certainly every man
AT HIS BEST STATE IS BUT VAPOR.
None of us know if we will be here tomorrow, so lets live out this Tuesday for Jesus and give him thanks.
He is Good and has given us life. Lets pray for Joel, and give our spouse some extra love today, since
it truly is a gift from Jesus.
for those that wish to leave your thoughts on pastor Joel's blog site, here it is..
