YES!!! I pray for you and for your wife regularly. Your presence is missed, but I know God is working in you both,pruning, shaping and molding you into who you were always intended to be and I am here for it, in eager expectation of what He will do next. Jesus didn’t say follow me and it will be easy. Sometimes it feels like a slow death but my goodness it is far more than worth it.
Thank you, Jamie. You were one of the gems God gifted me by being on Substack and I hope we can stay in touch. I'm grateful for our friendship and your prayers. He really is... It's quite the ride! It's a blessing to be go through it together. The old me is dying, just as Christ intends for us!
It takes courage to do what you've done, and what you're saying here. It's ok to take a pause to reflect and regroup. If I've learned anything it's there's no right or wrong way to do life. Each of us has a relationship with God that is unique and between you two, and private. I hope you realize that you're already successful because your trust is in God, and I have no doubt you will continue serving him and serving others, as that's what it's all about.
Thank you for this, Deb. That is my desire, to serve the Lord with all my life. He’s remaking me into something and I’m welcoming it. Your encouragement is a blessing. Christ is the purpose and meaning I’ve been searching for my whole life :)
Thank you for sharing this Brandon. Praying for God’s steady hand over you and your family as you navigate a deeper obedience. And you are right, it is NOT painless. Looking forward to see who and what emerges on the other side.
Thank you for this blessing, Kelly! My wife and I both are being remade in Christ. It's glorious and crazy, lol. I hope you and your husband and enjoying being back together as a family! May Christ abide!
Sorry to hear you’re going through a tough time, but the Lord uses those to refine us and build trust and character: Rom 5:3-5. If there’s anything I can do to help (including finances) please let me know. And if you need to talk, call me anytime. Love you bro!
Thank you for this, Dr. Bob. I will be in touch so we can stay connected. I've appreciated our fellowship here together. I look forward to seeing what the Lord has planned for us!
Its a narrow gate and a difficult way. Philippians 2:12-13. work out your salvation with fear and treambling, for He is working in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
Thank you for this honest update. I truly am inspired by your obedience and commitment to your family. God is Good and He has it all figured out. Keep trusting. I can’t wait to see how He moves through you.
Thank you for sharing. It's what I call 'living in Abba's Embrace'; when you feel that peace underneath all the turmoil and uncertainty. When peace 'shouldn't' be there... but it is. 🙏

Would it be wierd if I call sometime to say hi? I feel like we are friends even if you are not on substack.
Absolutely not! I would love that ☺️
