Just found out that I have a blog. It has been a very very long time since my last post. I am realizing that time does not stand still. What a novel idea right? I have 5 kids now and am a youth and worship pastor in IN. Who would have thought that God would bring me to this point in my life. I sure would not have thought I would be where I am today when this journey started back when I received Christ at the age of 16. God you are truly an awesome God who does the amazing in a person's life. Thank you for this journey. I love you more and more each day you give me to live on this earth. Time is a relative term. For a day is like a 1000 years and a 1000 years is like a day in the eyes of the Lord. For me on the other hand, days and years can seem like an eternity and also past by way to quick. One thing I am learning, is to trust God more as my days continue to pass by. God is faithful and is growing us into His Son's image day by day. He is faithful to complete in me the work He has started. To God be the glory forever and ever Amen! So may this post be an encouragement and that my next blog post not be a long time from this one.
In Christ,
PB

The Journey Continues
Thank you Lord!!!!!
God is truly awesome and He has answered many prayers. Tina and I are moving to VA. The church voted and we leave on January the 9th. I wanted to say thank you to all those who have followed this journey with us and have prayed for God's direction. We are spending the holidays with family and then packing the 1st week of January. It is a bit scary in a way going somewhere you have never been before. It is with excitement but there is a little of the unknown that does frighten us. Tina and I have lived in the same area and gone to the same church for the last seven years now. I feel as if God has given me everything I have ever wanted. He has given me a wife, children, and now the opportunity to server Him full-time. What a great God we serve! I will blog some more later, but for now this will have to do.

Waiting
Waiting:
Waiting it seems comes easier for some than it does for others. Tina and I are waiting for the next faze in our journey to what will be our future ministry. The hard part about waiting, is the fact that you want something now as apposed to having it later. We know that God's plans are perfect as well as His timing. Where we seem to have the problem is the time in between when we think the time for whatever it is we are waiting for is taking to long. I am in a job that seems to be affecting me physically to the point were I have gotten ulcers about 3 times this year. I don't think of myself as a stressful person, and yet internally the opposite is true. I have come to believe that waiting is the hardest when you can see what you want just outside of your grasp. Since Tina is my wife and she and I are one, she is affected by how I am doing as well as wanted to move forward in this next faze in our life. For those of you who know Tina and I, we would ask for your prayers. Pray that God would direct our paths and give us the patience we need to wait on the Lord. Also, that God would direct us with the here and now. We are trying to figure out when it is OK to look for different work when it is affecting you physically and when you should hand on till God moves you into the next faze in your life. May God grant us wisdom as we seek His will.

The Journey
Where is God going to take us on this journey of life? A question that many of us ask often. For those who have known Tina and I for some time now will understand what our journey has looked liked. For the last two years, we have been seeking a full-time pastoral ministry. We thought we were going to move about a year and half ago, but God saw fit to close that door. Since that time we have seen many closed doors and have been continually seeking God's will for our lives and where he would have us. The ironic thing is the very 1st church we thought we would love to serve at and which ended over a year and a half ago has now contacted us again. We believe as we did the 1st time we visited that we could be used by God at this church. At this point we are still seeking God's direction and waiting on Him to confirm that we are the candidate for this church. For those reading this blog, please continue to pray for us. Well, seeing that this is our 1st blog, I will leave you with this to ponder. Though we may not see fully the plan that God has for us, we can still trust Him to direct us and bless us during the journey.
