Humble Prayer Partner
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 own. 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 $8k . 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 $200-300/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 Kai will have a softened heart… I pray for the reconciliation of my family. I pray something will happen soon.
