The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord,
endures forever.
I am in awe of how My Savior moves through my life and the lives of others. He is profound and purposeful. He holds on to our faith even when we cannot. He protects us when we cower under the weight of life. He is there with you and me. He wants to walk with you through the circumstances of your life. As your Lord and Savior, He is there.
Isaiah 41:13 NLT
I am holding you by your right hand – I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, “Do not be afraid. I am here to help you.”
Isaiah 43:2 NLT
When you go through deep waters and great trouble, I will be with you.
Psalm 91:14
Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name.
James 1:3 NLT
For when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.
It is my earnest prayer that if you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Savior, you will head the call of your heart and search for him because he will be found. In Acts, the Lord says Believe on the Lord and you shall be saved.
My prayer also reaches out to those in whatever fog you find yourself. Seek the Lord and his face. Lay down your life and He will be found. He will grant favor, protection, clarity, direction. Whatever you NEED (not want, need) He will provide in His divine timeframe. May we all catch up to the many victories and blessings He has planned for us.

Tonight, I spent a couple of hours talking with a very precious friend. In the process of this conversation, God revealed a great many things to both of us. Well, I can say for certain for me that there was some good words from God.
One of the things that was made clear and I feel the need to share is about "knowing". I don't know about you, but I heard all my life that, "when you meet him you will just know." I heard it till I could vomit. Then in that irony of life, it came true. When I met him (my W, he is great) I did just know. Now I have to tell others that as much as I hate to admit it, everyone is right, you will know. I realized how this "knowing" happens. Where one is not in the will of God, doubt can and will exist. This doubt can cause great strife, confusion, fear and a litany of negative/unhealthy things. When the very thing that God has for you comes into your life at the time God has planned, assurance and affirmation enters and the doubt melts away. Doubt melts away and all that is left is that certainty and God's confirmation.
You just know.
There are many other things but I will leave you with this, I pray that whatever the situation in your life that you know, you just know. May God's direction in your life be so clear that doubt and fear melt away. May His protection cover you as you walk in the path He has cleared for you.

Thank you heater for the loving, yet mean push to update my blog. It has been very hard readjusting to the tempo of life in the States after a month of bliss in the country of my heart, Brasil. I still feel like I cannot quite catch up. The house is messy, work is busy, I am making time for friends, planning a great departure and trying to maintain my sanity. That last one is hard enough on its own now with all the other added on top, it is becoming elusive. hehe
Well, for those of you who I have not had the change to catch up with, here is the current dish. (Some of this will be new to those of you in the loop as it is new intel.)
W and I have com to a consensus over a month, no date in that month yet. We will wed in November. (That is 9 months from now. Holy Cow!!!) Everyone is invited, you just have to get down there. I will find a place to put you up. I will keep you updated as to any more wedding news. Yeah we have a month, it was a bit hard getting him to settle on a month, we will see what it is like to get a date out of him.
The walls to the house will will live in will begin to go up in the next 2 weeks. Yeah, we will have a place to live. We may not have much in that house but we will have a place to live. It will be onto he Vocational School property as it will be a part of my salary as the Director of the school.
I have begun work on my internet course where I am learning to teach English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). I am finished with the first 3 parts of a 10 part course. I am waiting on the score of the 3 module before I can progress. Yeah, I finally got off my butt to get this done.
I am working on selling my stuff. I have a list and I may begin to post some stuff. It is mostly furniture so if you are interested, drop me an email, we will chat. Most everything has to go as I cannot ship due to the exorbitant cost.
My parents will be Stateside on the 11th and will be in the States through March. They will be travelling a great deal on the weekends but it will be nice to see them some.
I have created a large list with several internal lists of things I need to do and lists of things I need to buy or people I need to contact, etc. It is a long list and daunting at times but it helps to have it.
I have a timeline half mapped out concerning my exodus. Please be in prayer over that cause it is a big deal.
I am staying sane, by the grace of God. My relationship with God has been the glue keeping my life together.
I hope to see most of you all multiple times before I move. Drop me a line and lets mark a time to get together.
Love you all.
