Well, my life has certainly not turned out to be anything I thought it would be. I used to always think that the perfect life would be two kids a good job and a suburban house. Working in some type of law enforcement position is what I thought I would do. Well none of that has ever been true of my life. I now have seven kids, yes I said seven and I don’t live in a suburba
n type house. I do however have the perfect job, not one might I add that I thought I would ever do. I am a pastor of a local new testament SBC church. You see I figured out one thing a long time ago, you have to play the cards your dealt, and you never know what the dealer is going to give you the next hand. The dealer is God mind you. You have to understand that God really does know what is best for you. Trust me I know how hard it is to be able to wait on God. We as humans want everything now and want what we think we need. My seventh child was born on Saturday. It seems like everything was going fine for the first few hours and then the dreaded news that Rainen would have to go to the NICU. Is this a blessing or something else that seems to be going wrong. You see we only have a Ford Expedition that seats eight people. He makes nine. I want to stress out and try and figure out something. Talking to my wife she says remember the many times God has provided. My friend called me earlier and shared the same thing with me. I would like to say to those who read this that God is always on time even if it is not our time. If we can trust Him for our salvation let us trust Him for our needs.
