Disciple of Prayer
This is the 3rd time my name has been changed; I don’t know why…. I am truly grateful for all prayers. Please continue. In August 2022, my two boys and I moved back to Texas to set up our home. I had served a church in Alaska and it was time to go back home. My wife and stepdaughter were going overseas to visit family. My wife and stepdaughter did not go overseas; instead my wife went to Texas and took my sons while I was teaching school. It was the saddest day of my life. For the last two years, I have begged God to reconcile my marriage and bring me back to Alaska. It’s difficult moving to Alaska without a place to live, job and a vehicle. In August 2024, God opened up the door and I flew first class to Alaska courtesy of my temporary job in California. I joke, I went from first class to homeless in minutes. I lived in the shelter for over four months. I walked to the school took an Uber until I could get a “beater with a heater”. In late November 2024, I mysteriously lost my job teaching school and coaching basketball due to no-fault of my own. I hated it, but I was confident God was doing something. A few weeks later, I learned I would receive my full salary until the end of April 2025 I thanked God!! I have done DoorDash since August but after losing my job at the school, it became a priority. I set goals and tried to achieve them making salary at the end of December 2024. I found a temporary job with the same company I had worked for in California before moving to Alaska. I applied and was immediately accepted and the process of being hired. Started working for them on January 14, 2025. Oh my second day of employment, I ran into a man who used to be my good friend at the church. He worked there. It was very uncomfortable seeing him since my wife goes to church there I think God for the courage to go up to him and talk to him, even though he had previously hurt me. I have often prayed, God, please let my wife know that I’m in Alaska. Now, I am sure she knows. I hope and pray something happens that will lead to the reconciliation of my marriage and my family. I love my wife deeply and miss her terribly. Please pray for her that her heart will be softened, and that God will bring her to repentance or a change of mind. I will forgive her and seek to love her like Jesus love the church. My son’s birthday is in a few days and it will break my heart not to be there. Please pray for my children that they will have their dad back in the future. I am truly grateful for every prayer made on my behalf. I can see the hand of God as he brought me here, provided me with multiple income sources, gave me a car, etc.. For those that have followed my story Three weeks ago yesterday I almost died when I was locked out of my car and -23°F temperature. God spared my life. I am confident. Thank you for praying for me and my family.
