Matthew 6:33&34
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be give to you as well.
34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
Matthew 7:7&8
"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."
God knows the needs of my family, He knows the desires of my heart... I'm living on faith alone right now literally. My prayer request right now would be that God's hand would be clearly on my situation, that the doors He opens would have flashing neon signs that say "THIS WAY CHRIS" ha-ha. What I really truthfully need is to fine tune my ears to His voice. Most of you know vaguely the situation that my family and I are facing, and I'd really appreciate some prayers right now. I don't want to go into to much details because I serve a big God that can sort them all out anyways! He knows what we need. Jeremiah 29:11-14
My thoughts are so scattered right now its hard to find the right words to type... I feel like I'm all over the place, could be cause I'm tired :P Could be cause I've got a million different things on my mind..
I've had some awesome revelations lately of our "unbroken fellowship" with the Father. Which couldn't come at a better time. Lately I've been really going through the fire, the refiners fire. God has been pruning parts of who I am that He doesn't like and it hurts, but my prayer is that He would continue to do so. I have come to a realization (with God's help of course) that I don't have to be the person I though I had to be, that He does choose the weak things to shame the strong, that Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness because THEY WILL be filled.
I told you my thoughts were scattered ha-ha
I'm super excited for Friday, which to be quite honest is weird... I'm not one for celebrating my birthday, I usually do it to make my wife happy but for some reason this year, I can't wait for the party. I just really want to spend it with the people that are important in my life and fellowship with you guys! I don't care about gifts (really I don't) so don't worry about that just come hang out and have a good time!!
I'm also REALLY excited about this coming Tuesday, I finally finally finally get to go diving, granted I have to do all the beginner stuff but I don't care I'm getting it started its a go and been confirmed I'm heading out Tuesday at 3pm for a couple hours to get the basics and go from there. I can't wait I've been wanting to do this since I was a kid I did an intro thing with my Dad once who was pretty big into diving and that was the last time I did it. It was always something we couldn't afford to do and even now if it wasn't for God's working I wouldn't be doing this, but I'm doing a contra job for the local guy in town and its not going to cost me anything for now!!!
SAWEEEEEET

Good post! That something all of us need to remember!!
And also, don't forget what Christopher Robin said:
"You are SMARTER than you THINK,
STRONGER than you FEEL, and
BRAVER than you BELIEVE!"
Always good advice!!
Great update Chris!
Your family is an inspiration to me. Your faith is unyielding.
That's awesome about the diving! I've never had any inclination to do it,but I've heard it's amazing.
