Birthday

 This year's birthday month showed me the friends that God has blessed me with.   The friends that have been with me even in the hard seasons.   The friends that have supported me and encouraged me.   The friends that have prayed for me.   The friends through various stages of life, churches I have attended, and wherever God has led me.    Lastly, it showed me the friends that have loved and cared for me. 

This year

 This year, God is calling me to trust that God has a plan.   Trust that God is still working in midst of a tiring job.   Trust that God is still moving in these circumstances.   Trust in God's providential care for me.  Trust in more community of believers that can build me up in this season.  

Where is God leading us

 That is the question of this year.   Where is God leading us?  What city is God leading us next? What new positions will we have?  What new community will be God lead us to? 

What new mentors will God lead us to that will disciple us and encourage us in Christ? My wife and I's prayer for this year is show us and lead us.  We are praying for direction on where God is moving us this summer.   God has a plan and a purpose for our lives.  We are trying to trust him in his timing and that he is moving in this time.
