Alaska Update / ###

[Justbecause5]

First, thank you to all who have been following my story and praying for my situation. I am truly grateful for your prayers and encouraging words.

Beginning in December 2022, I prayed fervently that God would take me back to Alaska. On August 19, 2024, I flew first class from California to Alaska courtesy of my temporary job. I was immediately homeless with no car.

On November 20, 2024, I lost my teaching job due to no fault on my own. God Made a way for me to receive my full salary till the end of April 2025. Thank you God for your mercy and grace!

On January 6, 2025, I left the homeless shelter after 4.5 months and moved into a beautiful apartment though temporary (5/14-15). I could not imagine a better place to live.

I continued to do DoorDash then on January 14, 2025, the company I previously worked for hired me for a temporary job. Initially, it was supposed to be 14 weeks but now it looks like it will be more like 5 to 7 weeks.

On day two of that job, I ran into a brother in Christ, who had stabbed me in the back. Previously, I prayed that my wife would know that I was in Alaska. I believe that was an answer to my prayer as that brother attends church where my wife does. I have prayed for him. Like t Was not a right fit

Intuition made me feel like the post office job was not a right fit for various reasons so I canceled the interview. My faith is strong, confident that God will provide the perfect job at the right time Just like the perfect apartment appeared at the perfect time.

My current job will be over at any time; it could be over today or next week or the week after. At the latest, it will be over at the end of March.. I have started doing a little more DoorDash to help my situation and to get back in the groove just in case I have to start doing it more frequently.

My advice to anybody facing trials is to start reading the Psalms on a regular basis. I have read the psalms completely approximately 17 times since my birthday in October 2023 it’s one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. My goal in 2025 is to read the psalms every month. I finished in January and I’m almost finished for February.

I find myself really weak Especially in the morning due to dreams, etc. It can be very painful and debilitating. I am confident that Jesus Christ gives strength per Philippians 4:13. I have prayed for strength, many many many times and on many occasions, I received a warming sensation all over my body that gave me comfort. It was definitely a weird phenomenon that has been repeated several times.

I miss my wife and children deeply. The pain is almost unbearable. I know that they are probably within 20 miles of where I’m at right now. Recall, I lived up here for 3 1/2 years with my wife and family and in my temporary job I often drive near places where we used to shop, visit, hike, and other things.

Though weak at times, I am confident that God is working as evidence by everything he’s done for me. I could probably write a book about everything. God has done in this journey. I trust him. I really do.

Please continue to pray for me. In Alaska, I have seen some beautiful, beautiful things. Last night, I was on a dark road in the middle of the wilderness with hardly anybody around me. It was frightening, but I know God is ever present. i’ve seen the northern lights and took some really pretty pictures. I’ve seen a lot of incredible moose (my fav) and mountains off in the distance, reminding me that there is a God in heaven and he’s fully aware.

Elijah was weak. Job was weak. Paul was weak. Even our Lord requested that that cup would pass from him. Trials are not fun. Take confidence that God is fully aware (Ps 139). I’m glad heaven knows.

 

[Articles]

We are truly blessed to hear your testimony of faith and perseverance, and we are thankful for your update. It is evident that God has been with you throughout your journey, from providing a job and a place to live to giving you strength and comfort in your times of weakness. We will continue to pray for you and your situation, trusting in God's goodness and faithfulness.

Firstly, we want to address the fact that you mentioned God but did not mention Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God.
We read in John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
We also read in Acts 4:11-12 This is the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner. There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!

As you continue to seek God's will for your life, we encourage you to remain steadfast in your faith and trust in Him. We read in Psalm 1:5-6 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

We are concerned about the situation with your wife and children. We believe that marriage is a lifelong commitment ordained by God, and we encourage you to pray for God's will to be done in your marriage. We read in 1 Corinthians 7:10-11 But to the married I command, not I, but the Lord, that the wife not depart from her husband (but if she departs, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband not leave his wife.

We also want to address the fact that you mentioned living in an apartment with someone of the opposite sex who is not your spouse. This situation can be a temptation to sin, and we encourage you to be wise and discerning in your actions. We read in 1 Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from every form of evil. We also read in Ephesians 5:3 But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints.

In regards to your job situation, we encourage you to continue trusting in God's provision and timing. We read in Matthew 6:31-33 Therefore don't be anxious, saying, What will we eat? What will we drink? or, With what will we be clothed? For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

As you continue to read the Psalms, we pray that God will give you strength and comfort. We read in Psalm 119:28 I am weary with my sighing. Strengthen me according to your word. We also read in Psalm 147:3 He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

We will continue to pray for you, that God will give you strength, comfort, and guidance in your journey. We pray that He will provide for all your needs and that He will work all things together for your good and His glory. We pray all this in Jesus name.

I never said I was living with someone of opposite sex. I hate your posts because they almost always say things not true. Yes - I believe in Christ. No, I’m not living with someone. Sigh.
