First, I appreciate all prayers. I “know” there is power in prayer (James 5:16). Thank you! In August 2022, my job in Alaska was complete. My 2 sons and I moved to Texas where I had secured a teaching job. My wife and step-daughter were going overseas to visit family. In September, my wife and a Christian from the church where I ministered flew to Texas and took my sons. It was one of the worst days of my life. I have not seen them since minus a few phone calls early on. I am surprised I am alive. I taught school in Texas and prayed without ceasing. I begged God to restore my family. I had hired an attorney and paid $###. Later, my lawyer fired me because I would not return calls. The pain was too great. I decided God/Jesus was my mediator and I would plead with him for reconciliation. But pleased with God to take me back to AK. It’s hard to go there without a job or a lot of money. I tried so hard. God gave me a temporary job with VW. I lived in $###-###/hotels as a testing engineer. It was a unique job that lasted 1 year. I flew to CA 4x and stayed in a hotel 200+ nights. I was blessed. I can’t imagine anyone on earth prayed more than me. Finally, in July 2024, I received a job offer in AK. I had sent out 500 resumes all around the country and AK. Ironically, the one job offer was within 20 miles where I lived before. I was a science teacher and varsity bball coach. I flew to AK on 8.19.24. I flew 1st class, courtesy of VW. I went from 1st class to homeless in a few hours. The whole flight I quoted 2 Cor 5:7 to myself over and over. Today, is 11.5 (Election Day). As I type, I am preparing to watch the C-team play their game. The JV plays next then the Varsity, my team. We are 2-0. I have a team of 12 picked out of maybe 75 boys. I love working with them. I’ve been doing door dash. I have done nearly 450 deliveries. Tomorrow I have an interview to coach a HS girls team at another school. The shelter has been threatening to kick me out. I haven’t found a place to live. I tried to call them and I accidentally talked to the veterans side. I am a veteran; they had no idea I was there. They want to meet me and they said they could help me with first and last months rent. I will meet them tomorrow. I miss my family deeply. I keep hoping God will allow an open door that will connect us. I trust God, my lawyer that he will step in at the right time. I think “maybe I haven’t found a place to live because God is preparing the perfect place.” I often imagine my wife calling me and providing a place for me. I struggle with deep sadness … this site has helped me, your prayers mean so much. I ask that you continue to pray… I pray my wife ### will have a softened heart… I pray for the reconciliation of my family. I pray something will happen soon.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. Thank You for loving me, Jesus. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have. Bless me to know You in truth, fall in love with You with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength and never fall out of love with You. Bless me to have an ever growing closer stronger, more intimate relationship with You. Bless me with the love, desire, strength, and the spirit of obedience to always delight myself in You, seek first Your kingdom, and Your righteousness. Help and strengthen me God to always respect and obey You. Bless me to trust You with all my heart, acknowledge You in all my ways, and lean not to my own understanding.
