Being Blessed

God's faithfulness flows to us all like rivers that are full and fresh. His grace is never stagant. Likewise, God always supplies our needs according to His riches in glory.

This year, 2009, I have already been blessed beyond measure. He continues to surprise me and bless. I am overwhelmed at the love and grace God extends toward me and it makes me want to work even harder for him.

So let me give you a little testimony. First, God is always good, regardless, God is good. Second, I was able to purchase hearing aids this year. For those of you who know me well know what a blessing this is. Third, I just happen to mention to my pastor on Monday that I needed a truck. Lynda is starting school next week and having only one vehicle will not work now. So she and I have been praying for months. My pastor came to me on Tuesday morning and said "I think I have found you a truck." It is the same truck I have mentioned to Lynda before as we drove by this place. Not only was it way under our price range the, the owner of the place is a member of our church. He so graciously gave us a incredible deal. Exactly what we had prayed for.

I am one to believe God has store house of blessings for his people. At the midnight hour of 2008/2009, Lynda and I prayed that we would be blessed alot, our territory would enlarge, that God would lay his hand upon us and keep us from evil that we may not cause pain. God has done that

I expect even more blessings and I expect to work even harder for God this year

Until Next time.... Keith

Been A While

It has been a while since I have blogged. So to start the new year off right I am going to get more into my blogging.

The year 2009 has arrived and is already a few days old. It was a busy year for me in 2008. Many changes and adjustments were the norm. We have now been in Rockingham a year. I thank God for all He has done for us. Lynda and I give God praise for a good year and His faithfulness.

The year of 2009 looks good. Lynda will start school soon and I am already in school. Working on two papers tonight and I HAVE TO FINISH THEM. Keep telling me that please.

With every new year I go on a fast. This is no different. This year my prayer is to draw closer to God. To seek him first. Everything else will fall into place. I use to pray to be a powerful minister, have great success in ministry, to walk in anoiting and stuff like that. It is all important. However, hear lately my hearts cry is just to know God. To know him personally. To know his son, Jesus, like never before. Ringing in my ears has been Matt 6:33, to seek HIM first and everything else will be added to you. I sometimes struggle with that. Seems church work often time comes first instead of my relationship with God. I want that to change. So in 2009 I pledge to myself, God and those who read this, that seeking God is first.

I hope you all have a great year.

Keep watching for updates during my fast and I promise to blog more

Until Next Time....Keith
