Humble Prayer Partner
Thank you for all your prayers!
Today is Sunday, the first day of the week (Acts 20:7). I just finished walking nearly 10,000 steps and I spent most of that time praying to God. I love to pray and walk.
I have spent 6 full days living in my van. It’s not been easy but it has been doable. I am so thankful for my $### camping mattress which has allowed me to sleep better.
I often pray that God will move a certain mountain out of my life. I have about 10 mountains. As I walked today, I thought about a mountain that God had removed. For a long time, I had prayed for a new career direction and a better than normal (for me) salary. I can now say, “God has moved that mountain!”
Last Wednesday, I started my new in management. In about a month, I will be the only manager here and I have about 30 employees at first and possibly 40+ in a year. God moved that mountain.
So, last week I worked four days. I worked with the old manager and with all the staff learning their names and what they do. Also, did their job for a few hours at a time. I am so thankful to God for this new job.
Every day I look for a place to live and so far I have not found one. Some are just incredibly expensive and others are places that I would prefer not to live. I am asking God to move the mountain of homelessness. I do not want to live in the van. Even in Alaska, it’s really hot right now in the daytime.
Living in the van, has caused me to focus more on my job. Because I know that when my job is over for the day, I get to go live in my van. I have struggled with that and felt really down at times. But I’m confident, in time; God will provide.
Last January, God gave me the most perfect place to live up on a mountain top. The apartment was easily worth $### a month but the lady only charged me $### a month with no utilities. I’ve had the opportunity to talk to her about God. In the end, she gave me my full deposit back to me, which was $###. She did not even charge me for the four extra days that I stayed out of the kindness of her heart.
I love the rain and anytime it rains. I quote Acts 14:17. I have done that for years. The rain gives me peace and strength. The night before last at about 3 AM I heard rain on the top of my van. I woke up, quoted that verse and laid there and listened to the rain for a few hours often on. I love the rain so much!
Anything that I have, I attribute to the mercy and grace of God. I did not earn this job nor do I deserve it; God gave it to me, and I am truly grateful for his compassion and mercy and love. Next on.
I could probably write a book about how God brought me back to Alaska. The timing of each step was incredible. I can see teaching moments along the way. I can see moments where God was obviously testing me and my faith just like he tested Peter on the stormy seas of Galilee. Each time, it builds my faith!
Dear friends, I miss my wife and my children, deeply and dearly. I keep asking God to move the mountain of divorce and separation and bring my family back together as one. I miss him so much. I keep praying that God will bring my wife to repentance and soften her heart and cause her and direct her thinking to the need to put our family together.
The things that give me hope is that I am 99.9% sure God brought me back to Alaska. I had applied for jobs and nearly every state for every type of job. I was trying so hard to get back to Alaska. On August 19, 20##, I’ve moved back to Alaska was very little money, no car and no place to live. Despite all of that, God made provision.
I began teaching school and later I coach basketball. On November 20, 20##, I lost my job at the school due to no fault of my own. I was scared, embarrassed, and humiliated. God took care of me and made provision. I started making nearly $### a week doing DoorDash.
On January 1, 20##, I had decided I would just make DoorDash my career. I had proven that I could make good money and with more hard work I could even do better maybe. Apparently, God said no. On January 14, 20## I started to work for a car testing company that I’d work with before three times in San Francisco. I met some great friends at the job site and I actually look forward to meeting them every day when we worked.
I love to revisit the things that God has done in my life. It may seem boring to some, but others may find hope and the things that have happened to me, knowing full well that God is aware of their circumstances also (Ps 139).
As I type this prayer request, I look up and there are dark clouds approaching my location. I hope and pray that rain soon falls so that I can enjoy and be reminded of the powerful presence of God Almighty.
I do not know fully what God is doing, but I am confident he is present. Every night, he sees me under the thin roof of my van, laying on a mattress surrounded by clutter and the things that I need to live and survive daily, my van is not that big.
Thank you for praying for me. Thank you for reading my message. I hope something I may have said may inspire you as you continue your journey with God.
