There is power in prayer (James 5:16)!
So much chaos in the world. I’m so saddened about the little baby that was shot and killed in New York. I’m sad about the downed pilots today in Iran. I’m sad about the war in Iran, etc. etc. even so,, Lord Jesus.
In the summer of 2022, my wife left me. My job in Alaska was complete. I had secured a new job teaching school in Texas. She and my older daughter were going overseas to visit family. My young sons and I are headed to Texas to start the new job and set up our new home.
After we left Alaska, my wife hired an attorney. Together, they went to court and convinced the judge that I had stolen the boys and taking them across state lines. I was 5000 miles away working. The judge gave her permission to go and get them. In late September 2022, she did I was working in my room when it happened, I have not seen them since it was one of the saddest days of my life.
I have never cried so much. I prayed fervently that God would step in. I prayed fervently for reconciliation and restoration. I was like a clay in the father’s hand, asking him to guide my steps. I completed the school year somehow. God moved me back to my dad’s house. He then gave me a temporary job with a company on four different occasions in California.
I played with God to take me back to Alaska. I hoped that a closer proximity would lead to reconciliation. Finally, in the summer of 2024, God opened up some doors that allowed me to move to Alaska. Looking back, it was amazing to see the providential hand of God.
I had a job teaching school in Alaska. Out of all the resumes that I sent around the country looking for work. The only one that came back positive was in Alaska. It was the same school, where my son used to play his soccer games so, on August 19, 2024, I left San Francisco and flew first class to Alaska. The former company paid for the flight, etc..
I moved to Alaska with no place to live in no car to drive. I tried but was unsuccessful to find those things. I was so convinced that before my plane landed my wife would contact me and provide those things. That’s how God‘s providence seem to be working. I was convinced just like Abraham was convinced that God would raise Isaac from the dead. Unfortunately, my wife did not contact me.
I have now been back in Alaska for around 18 or 19 months. I have suffered in every way possible just like Job during that time. I’ve been homeless and very unstable. My teaching job ended on November 20, 2024. Due to no fault of my own. In fact, the school had to pay me through the end of the year. I then got a job as a laboratory manager, but it ended three weeks later due to no fault of my own.
I could write a book about the last year and a half. I almost died on the mountain top when I got locked out of my van in an about -35° temperatures. Two beautiful women at the bottom of the hill came up to save me I’ve wondered if they were angels or if God just put them there with the instinct to help me at the time, I could barely talk because I was freezing. God spared my life.
I have suffered tremendously. After losing my job at the lab, I started doing gig work full-time. I had been doing it off and on previously, but not full-time. So I, started learning how to do it and added other platforms. But then, I started having van issues. I had three blowouts in six weeks. Then my van broke down in November so, I had to rent a car for six months.
The rental car prices started to go up from $28 a day to $100 a day. I got my van back and started using it but then the van broke down again. It would not start for 7 to 10 days then the timing belt broke, and that was it thankfully, the rental car prices started to come back down from $100 a day to $50 a day today, Friday, the rental car prices are back down to $28-$31 a day. It’s like God is right here with me. He knows my van is dead. He knows I need to work and so here is the provision.
About eight or nine days ago, I came down with something. It was either a really bad cold or the flu or Covid. I don’t know. I’ve been so sick. It’s weird because I haven’t really ran a fever that I know of or maybe it was a slight fever, but I’ve just been so sick and not wanting to do anything. However, I had no choice I had to utilize the rental car that I had. I had to go out and do some work so, despite being so sick, I’ve been able to make about half of what I normally would make.
I am behind on my rent. I let the owners of the hotel/apartment know. So right now I’m I’m behind about $1000. I’m hoping in the next few weeks so I can make that up. Of course, the next round of rent is due in a couple of days so I don’t know how long they’ll tolerate me but I’m trying my best God please God protect me.
Dear friends and prayer warriors… I feel like Job. My family is gone. I suffer in deep sadness each day when I contemplate them. I dream about my family and wake up and no one‘s there. I hear the voice of a small child and it causes me to turn around thinking my son is there and he’s not. I’m so sad.
I love God with all my heart. Of course, when I say God, I’m talking about Jesus, the spirit, etc. I am a Christian.
I’m just exhausted from all of this. I want my weeping to be turned into joy. I want my sadness to be turned into celebration. Please God hear my voice and answer my prayers.
Last weekend, I was in a bad situation. I pray that God would let me see a sign that he was with me. For me, I love the rain. It’s been assigned for me many times in my life (Acts 14:17). However, up here right now no rain due to winter. So second is seeing moose. I took a random order on gig work and it took me down the road in which I found two moose sleeping on the side of the road I was amazed because God took me down that road where they were at. They gave me strength.
Please pray for me
I’m deeply saddened. I need strength.
Family reconciliation
A good solid job
A nice place to live
I’m tired of being sad. I’m tired of being depressed. I’m tired of wanting death.
My wife did some horrible things to me. I stand prepared to forgive her. I stand prepared to love her, like Jesus love the church. I stand prepared….
Thank you for praying for me.
I have suffered greatly. I have seen the hand a guide again and again in different ways. I trust him. I trust he’s working in my life. I trust he’s making provision in various ways.
I’m just exhausted.
I find myself getting jealous and some small way when I see others that seem to be living so simply and so easily. They’re cruising around and they’re nice SUV your car. They’re buying groceries just like a normal family wood. They’re going to their home and enjoying their evening just like a normal family wood. Meanwhile, I am out here, struggling in tears just trying to keep it together.
Thank you
