Humble Prayer Warrior
God has not left himself without witness in that he gave us rain from heaven … (Acts 14:17).
For a very long time, I have loved the rain. In fact, every time it rains, even if it sprinkles, I quote Acts 14:17.
I believe God has sent the rain for me to observe and experience on many occasions to comfort and strengthen me. Today, was one of those days.
Three years ago, my wife left me. She said to me “I do not love you”. In our marriage, I love my family deeply and dearly. My wife was basically a slave working as a domestic servant in Hong Kong when I met her, I brought her here to this country along with her daughter.
Love is a decision. Some people choose to love an old car and they repair it and restore it to its former glory. Some people love an old piece of furniture handed down by grandparents. They restore it and repair it to its former glory. Love is a choice.
My wife, probably with the help of an evil attorney, lied in the court to make it seem like I had stolen my children. I had left Alaska and gone to Texas with my two sons to set up our new home and to start a new job as a teacher. My wife had previously purchased tickets for her and her daughter to go overseas to visit family. So they lied in court. Thus, the judge gave them permission to go to Texas and get my children.
My wife and a sister in Christ, left Alaska flew to Texas and took my children while I was working. I have not seen them since. I have shared more tears in one can possibly fathom. I am not suicidal, but I have pleaded with God in my life so that I could be with him. I wish God would send Elijah‘s chariot to pick me up.
I pleaded with God to take me back to Alaska, hoping that my return would result in reconciliation. I am an imperfect man, but I have always been one that forgives others. I’ve been punched in the face a few times and while my face was still changing colors, I reached out to shake the hand of the other individual requesting peace.
Finally, in August 2024, God orchestrated away for me to go back to Alaska. He gave me a teaching and coaching job, which I accepted. So, I moved back to Alaska with no place to live and no car to drive. I was walking by faith and not by sight (2 Cor 5:7). Little did I know, the next year would be one of the most difficult years of my life.
I really believed that before my plane landed on August 20, 2024, my wife would contact me and I would have a place to live in a car to drive. I really believed that just like Abraham believed that God would raise Isaac from the dead. It’s been one year and so far God has not done anything that I know of or I can see.
In the last year, I have lost three really good paying jobs. I almost died when I was locked out of my van in -23°F weather. I had a number of different car issues. I lived in the shelter for 4.5 months. I lived in the back of my van for 28 nights. I have had a lot of setbacks.
Thankfully, the day that I lost my last really good paying job as a lab manager, Miss Lee my former landlord allowed me to move into the basement apartment here in her $1 million house for free. I have been here since mid June. I am so thankful for her kindness.
I have also seen some incredible things: moose, Caribou, fox, a porcupine… I’ve seen incredible northern lights, mountain, vistas, and lakes, etc. Alaska is a beautiful place.
I have been doing DoorDash often on since I arrived in Alaska. Since I lost my job in June, I have been doing it almost every day. I’m so thankful for it and it has helped me. Keep my neck above water (Ps 69).
I read the psalms every month this year and twice in August. I love reading them and they provide me a lot of energy and strength. I feel… I feel that my love God is stronger now that it’s ever been before I feel that my faith is stronger than it’s ever been before.
Yes, I believe in Jesus and I understand the power is authority or name.
Yet, I often deal with deep sadness and depression. I love my children with all my heart. I went to every doctor appointment while my wife was pregnant. I was there to cut the chords when they were born. I have cherished every moment watching them grow up. When they were sick, I took care of them. When they were out of diapers, I went to the store after midnight to get more. I love them deeply and dearly.
My heart aches more than words can describe. I know, I have missed so much of their young lives.
Please pray for me.
Marital reconciliation
I love my wife, despite the awful things that she’s done to me. I stand prepared to forgive her and love her, like Christ of the church to the best of my ability.
Family reconciliation
I miss my family deeply and dearly. I know or I’m quite sure that my family is probably less than 20 miles from where I’m at right now. I have done nothing to try to seek them out rather I have put my faith and trust in God and spent hours in prayer, asking God for wisdom and guidance and an open door
Job
Losing a job is not fun, especially when it was a good job and you lost a job due to no fault of your own. I need a really good paying job. I am thankful to God for DoorDash and it keeps my head above water, but it is not something that you can count on for life
A place to live
I am so thankful to Miss Lee Ann, her kindness and letting me stay in the basement, but over the last few days, she has made some comments that have really hurt me. Of course, she does not know all the stuff that I’ve been through because I’ve kept that to myself. But the things that she has said has made me feel like it’s time for me to move out of here as quickly as possible
In conclusion
Each time I request prayers, I feel like I need to go back and retail the things or some of the things that have happened so that people that are praying for me will know what they are praying for.
If you have follow my story and pray for me. I want you to know that I’m truly grateful for your kindness and the time you’ve taken to do so.
I am sitting here in this chair, hoping and praying that there will be a phone call for a job offer or an opportunity elsewhere.
Please God hear my pleas & my request.
