This is one of the greatest churches you will ever see, it might not look like it from the outside but once you're on the inside you understand what i mean.
We are in the midst at Bethel of interviewing and possibly hiring a Youth Pastor which will take a lot of stress of me. Please be in prayer for that, because I am extremely excited about the possibilities God has for this couple at Bethel.
Now, although I feel like I'm getting settled in a little as Pastor, I am only getting my feet wet as a husband. I have been every morning reading a few pages from the book The Exemplary Husband by Dr. Stuart Scott. It has really challenged me about how I so many times put my interest above my God's interst and my wifes interest. Good thing I have a precious wife that loves me and takes care of me.
It has been a challenging month with school, pastoring, running the youth ministry, and so many other things. Just this past week alisons grandma and my nephew Hudson were in the hospital. But, isn't it good to know our God is in control. As I was told that one of my former deacons Jim Ellard told my niece this past week "It's going be alright, God is going take care of us." Wow! What powerful words. So as i go about my day, week, and month, I will remember God is going take care of us.
This is a picture of me and my family a few years ago, what a great shot!
This is a picture of my niece and nephew last October. They have really grown up.
I feel blessed and I pray that you do too. May God bless you all.
For His Glory,
Joe
