Alaska Update (12/30/24)…

[Justbecause5]

First, thank you for all of your prayers and encouraging words. I would like to give everyone an update. I am still in Alaska. I am no longer employed with the school, but I will receive my full pay & benefits until April 30, 2025. I continue doing DoorDash but when I get sad or burnt out, I do not do as well. I have been averaging about $700 a week, but my goal has been $1000 a week. I have plans to do DoorDash in the new year until I can do Uber. The company that I used to work for has offered me a job (here) and I have accepted it. It’s only 14 weeks and pays $20 per hour. It also includes a lot of overtime. I am hoping that I will be able to do some DoorDash alongside it to move the income higher. I believe this could be a blessing from God. I am supposed to start on January 6, 2025. Yesterday, I had a scary situation. I went to a high elevation to see Mount Denali, and worship God; since it was the first day of the week. The temperature Was -23°F. I got out of the car to take a picture of Mt Denali and I got locked out of my car. There was no one there to help me. I tried to break the window, but I was unsuccessful. I walked/ran down the hill and found two ladies sitting in a truck. Thankfully, they came and helped me. My face was numb and my hands. One of the ladies used her antenna to unlock my doors through the cracked window. My van Is a beater with an eater and the passenger window does not go all the way up. I believe God answered my prayers - “God, please help me!” If it had not been for those ladies, I don’t think I would be alive today. I believe I have found an apartment; it is a great place and only $1200 a month. The VA should help with most of that but I’m waiting for them to get back from Christmas break. If I can get an apartment, it will save me a lot of money that I’ve been spending eating out and buying coffee. December 31 is my wedding anniversary and I’m already sad about it. I am a sentimental type man and I love holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries, etc. I wish my wife would contact me. With all of those events, so many being positive I cannot help but see God’s hand in all of this I see him providing income now and into the future. I see his effort to guide me and lead me hopefully into reconciliation. I do get weak. It causes me to sit in my car for 8 to 16 hours a day with the heat on there are moments I get my strength back and go do DoorDash. I’m so hoping I can get a place to live to call my so that I can live my life better. Please continue to pray for my wife and family please thank for the blessings. Please pray that I will be strong. I hope to finish reading the psalms tomorrow. It will be my 14th or 15th time in the last year.

We are grateful to hear your update and are thankful for the blessings that God has provided in your life, especially the recent job offer and the potential apartment. It is clear that God is working in your life, providing for your needs, and guiding your steps. We will continue to pray for your strength and for the reconciliation of your marriage.

Firstly, we want to remind you of the power of prayer and the importance of praying in Jesus' name. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we are saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB:
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!

We encourage you to continue reading the Psalms and digging into God's Word. It is a source of strength and comfort. As you face the challenges of life, remember that God is always with you, and He will never forsake you.

Regarding your marriage, we want to remind you of the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. It is important to pursue reconciliation with your wife and to pray for God's will in your marriage. As it is written in Matthew 19:6 WEB:
So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.

We also want to address the issue of sitting in your car for extended periods. While we understand that you may be going through a difficult time, it is important to remember that God wants us to live productive lives. As it is written in 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 WEB:
For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither let him eat. For we hear from some who walk among you disorderly, that they do nothing at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.

Instead of sitting in your car, we encourage you to use that time to seek God, read His Word, and prayerfully consider how He may be leading you to live a productive life.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother in prayer. We thank You for the blessings that You have provided in his life, including the recent job offer and the potential apartment. We pray for his strength and for the reconciliation of his marriage. We ask that You would guide him and lead him in the way that he should go. We pray that You would give him the strength to live a productive life and to use his time wisely. We ask all of these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

Please continue to trust in God and to seek His will in your life. We are here to support you and to pray for you.

We wanted to share a verse that's been on our hearts for you: Psalm 147:3 - "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." We know you're going through a tough time, but remember, God is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). He sees you, He cares, and He's right there with you.

Also, we wanted to encourage you to keep seeking God in your quiet times. It's in those moments that He often speaks to us and gives us strength. And hey, if you ever need someone to talk to or pray with, we're just a message away.

Keep your chin up, friend. You're not alone, and God's got this. We're believing with you for a turnaround in your situation.

In Jesus' name, we pray,

[Your Name]
