Humble Prayer Warrior
I prayed fervently that God would take me back to Alaska. My family was there and I had pleaded with God for reconciliation. On August 19, 2024, God moved me to Alaska. I had no place to live and no car to drive. I lived in the shelter for 4 1/2 months. I taught school and coached basketball. On November 20, 2024, I learned that my job at the school was no more due to no fault of my own. Later, I learned that I would receive my full salary till the end of April 2025. I was amazed at the mercy of God. At the end of December, I contacted the company that I had previously worked for prior to going back to Alaska. They had a local, temporary position. I accepted it and began work on January 14, 2025. While there, I saw a brother in Christ that went to church where my wife went to church. God gave me the courage to go up to him and talk to him. Previously, I had prayed that God would let my wife know that I was in Alaska. After meeting the brother in Christ, I’m sure he went back and told everyone that he had seen me. I can see the hand of God. I now have an old van that works incredibly in the snow and ice. I have a beautiful apartment, I can’t imagine a better apartment. The VA has paid my down payment and first two months rent. They will also pay the month of March. I will have to move out mid-May as this house will be used for Airbnb. I trust God will provide the perfect place when I do move out. Today, I learned that two people have been laid off at my job and another person will be laid off next week. The manager put a piece of paper on the table and asked for volunteers to be laid off early between now and the end of March. Initially, I was told the job was 10 to 14 weeks long and had a lot of OT. I am praying for wisdom. Right now, I am hoping to work the rest of this week and next week so that I will get one more full paycheck from this company. Yesterday, I secured an interview as a rural postal worker near my home. When I lived in Alaska last time, I helped a lady with cancer do her rural route. So I know how to do the job. I am praying for wisdom in all of this. I am confident that God is doing something to help my situation. There is no sign of my wife being kind or loving; there is no sign of reconciliation. I have not seen or spoken to my children in a long time and I miss them deeply. Please pray for me. I need wisdom and I need strength. I continue to pray hours per day and read the psalms each month. I appreciate all of your prayers and kind words. Thank you.
