It has been a while since I posted a blog update. Things have been out of sorts around here. Let's begin at the beginning:
Christopher had been preaching at a church for a couple of years. There had been a few issues here and there, but nothing major. Then for some reason a couple of men decided they didn't want him there anymore. The reasons were selfish and really don't matter now. But it hurt. It hurt all of us. My kids are old enough to know what's going on now. They know when people are being mean or trying to get rid of their dad. We were all effected. Long story short, Christopher resigned.
The good news is we made some wonderful friends while we were at the church, and we are still in touch with them.
Christopher was "on orders" with the military but stationed locally. So he was home in the evenings, but getting paid full time. Yay! So that solved the issue of income. When that time was up, he did some military school which again took care of income. We started putting money back, knowing when the schooling was over he wouldn't have income lined up.
He has been sending out resumes to churches trying to find another ministry job for months. But nothing was working out. In the meantime we found a wonderful church home. We have plugged in, and everyone is very happy.
Thanks to God's provision, finances haven't been an issue. Things were starting to get a little tight, but we knew God would provide.
Out of the blue Chris got a call that the Air Base was in need of a chaplain again, and they wanted him! This wasn't even on our radar! We had no idea it was a possibility. But starting Monday Chris will be "on orders" again at the local base. It's full time work!! And it's guaranteed work! And it isn't based on the whims of deacons or church members.
God is so good!! He dropped this in our laps! We are so excited. And so grateful! God is always good! He is always faithful! He is always working in our lives even when we don't see it. We just have to have faith that He is going to take care of us. Because He is!
As we enter this Christmas season, and we start thinking more about the coming of Christ, I hope that you will look for his Hand in your life. Because it is there! He is always working.
God is faithful!!
