Happy Birthday! We love you.

Left to Right: Denise, Chanda, & Deb

 Today I had an ASTYM appointment at Memorial Hospital in Marysville. This new treatment does seem to be helping my elbows more than anything I have tried previously. I dont know if I will ever return to the same job that I did before, although I still remain hopeful, I do want Jesus to heal me.

 We went over to my Mom and Dads after my appointment and watched the movie Dreamer with them. It had Kurt Russel, Dakota Fanning, and Kris Kristoferson in it and it was based on a true story about a racing horse. It was very good.

 God has been speaking to me lately about keeping busy and not letting myself get bored. It talks in Proverbs about not eating the bread of idleness. It is hard since I am not working, and cant afford to go anywhere now, to not just sit around and watch movies or play games all the time. That stuff is just a sidetrack to keep me from what is most important………Reading the Bible……..Praying………Being a Disciple. It seems to me that everytime I allow myself to become idle that I get depressed, or get attack by lust, or something because I am not constantly pulling on God. It also affects my relationship with Chanda because if I am not constantly pulling on God, it becomes harder to love and harder to walk in the spirit. So Jesus, I repent for letting myself become idle, and depressed, and I ask for you to help me. Give me joy, peace, and faith and help me to walk in the spirit and love my wife.

 Chanda and I went to the Credit Union today to try to refinance the Blazer but we couldnt because we are $5,000 upside down on it. We need between now and May first about $1,200 for all of our upcoming bills, but I am sure that one way or another God Will Provide. He allways does. Keep us in your prayers.

 Chanda and I went over to Bill and Lana’s the other day and there were two Young Men dressed in Black Slacks, White Shirts, and Black Ties going door to door. Bill invited them in and come to find out they were Mormons. Chanda and I had actually seen the same two young men in Marysville a couple of weeks earlier and prayed for them to get saved. Krystal and Mike also saw them in Wal-Mart and prayed for them to be saved. We all talked to them about the Bible and the Book of  Mormon for a long time. They made a date to come back to Bill and Lana’s in a week, I believe that God has their number. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a cult and is definately demonic. Anyone that does a little research and digs a little deeper than the surface can find out the truth.

 My Mom has been doing a fund raiser to raise Money for The Exodus House Ministries so that they can get Not for Profit Status, and Incorperated. My whole family has been making Jericho bracelets and giving them to people that make donations. They have only been raising the money for a couple of weeks and all ready God has came through with over $1,200. Jesus is Awsome!

 Chanda’s Sister Denise and Her husband Craig also paid to get the Exodus House/Building Jericho a web site and domain name for two years. They are also hosting the web site and currently doing the construction of it. Thanks guys.

  Please pray for Chanda and I, the Devil has hit us hard lately. We are trying to walk in Faith about our finances, especially since I am off of work without pay. Chanda has another D&C coming up and really shouldnt be working right now. All of our Bills have been paid (Rent, Car Payment due weekly, Cell Phone Bill, and Utilities) + we also had plenty of food on the table, gas in the Blazer, and toilet paper in the cupboard. Jesus truely has met all of our needs.

 What we need prayer for is that Jesus would help us to walk in the Spirit (Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Meekness, Kindness, Longsuffering, Temperance extc.) and help us to walk in unity with one another. Pray that God would give us Purpose and Something to keep us busy, and pray against depression. My next Industrial Commision Hearing is on the 21st so please keep that in your prayers; that the Maximum Medical Improved ruling would be overturned and I would once again get paid. Thanks.
