May has been a difficult month in 2012.
As reported in earlier posts, my sister, Helen, passed on
May 5; I know she is free from pain and suffering in the arms of the Lord.
Simultaneously my son’s wife exited their marriage without
so much of a second thought or courtesy word of intent to him or us. She left
for a two day visit with her family and never came back. I believe there was a
manipulated agenda to leave permanently. In retrospect I can see why. There was
so much immaturity and naiveté in her life and influence from uneducated
sources. I know it takes two but these things overpowered all reconciliatory
possibilities. My son is doing well in spite of it all. His “eyes” are opened
to a lot of marital issues that led to this parting.
The work environment is still unsettled with loss of
employees and lack of replacements. I am just thankful to have a job that
satisfies some of my calling.
However, through it all I put my trust in God. New doors of
ministry have opened. I will be serving as a ministry coach for seven Journey Groups
in addition to being Point Leader with my wife on First Impressions Team. My
wife will also be coaching a group. We will be a support system for these
groups to be their counsel and encouragers. We are excited about the
opportunity to serve in this new capacity.
I am thankful for the grace of God that fills my being more
and more as understanding is opened to me. Liberation from men’s traditions and
rules is awesome. The righteousness of Christ has been imputed to me! I want
this gospel of grace be shown to all who I encounter in life’s journey.
