Enjoying My Father's AWESOME Creation...

"When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?" Psalm 8:3-4

As I have had a little bit of time to get out and enjoy God's creation, I stand in awe at His love, mercy and grandeur! To think that the Creator of the universe desires intimacy in a covenant relationship with humanity, stuns me! God is SO good and His mercies are NEW every morning...praise His name!
























"O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. "
                                                                Psalm 136:1

Arkansas...

The Lord continues to test, try and stretch me in ways that I have never been. He is causing me to realize that without Him, I truly am NOTHING! He is causing me to become wholly dependent and confident in His Life alone and NOT in any fleshly efforts of my own. I praise Him for this, because I am lifeless without the anointing power of the Holy Spirit!

The Lord has led me back to Arkansas to continue training and practical experience in pursuing prison ministry. Lord willing, I will be very busy this whole off-semester with speaking engagements, facilitating IBLP Prison Seminars in Arkansas, Ohio and Florida and keeping occupied in the IBLP Prison Ministry Office. There are MANY “unknowns” for me this off, but this is all the more of an opportunity to put ALL my faith and trust in my Savior and to allow Him to guide and lead me wherever He will.

I am looking forward to seeing what HE will do in the next 2 ½ months as He guides and leads the work of my hands for His glory! PLEASE be praying for me, that I would not fear but that I would walk boldly as I ought to according the ministry the Father has called me to! Pray that my number one goal would be that I would continually identify with the Cross of Jesus Christ and that the Cross would be wholly evident as the resurrected power of Jesus Christ in me.

PS. As different seminars and events come up, I will try my best to keep you posted so that you can be praying for God’s Kingdom to go forward in every situation!
