our journey

     I had just sent a messge to someone and put in there how we miss them and miss our home in the South and I wrote, We are having an amazing journey with God, but please pray for us. And I thought about that. I thought about Danny and my life together, and how dramatic it has been.
  When I married Danny he was a christian and working as a heavy machine operator, or as he says sometimes ditch digger, he was in a family owned business and I thought that is how things would be, one day he would take over the family business and that's that. That all changed oneday when Danny accepted the call, the call of God and being a man of God or preacher I will say. Things started changing, hearts started changing, a few years passed, Youth Pastor, .. then off to Liberty to get more education..... So we moved to Virginia on Faith and a prayer, knowing God would take care of us and he has. Now Danny has almost finished  his Masters of Divinity degree at the Largest Christian University and working at one of the Largest churches in America... and here we are, God is Awesome. He has taken care of us and brought us through a lot these last 31/2 years. He has provided for us, he has sustained us and he has humbled us in so many ways to prepare us for our next journey.
   I was thinking the other day, how do I do this? I worked all night, slept for 3 hrs and here I am with the kids at a function, spending time with them expending energy that I shouldn't have, only God can sustain you like that and I am so thankful for what he does for me !!!

  So I always thought Danny would finish school and get a great job at some big church as Senior Pastor or even move up the ladder here at Thomas Road, but God had other plans. So when Danny comes home earlier this year and says I think God is calling me to be a church planter and we should pray about it, I knew God was dealing with him. Danny has always been about the existing church and we always kinda felt church plants were trying to do away with the traditional church and closing down the little churches all over America. He wasn't against church planting, but I never even thought he would consider it. He said no, God has shown me, church plants are needed.   Here in America we have unreached people groups.  There are areas in the US that are growing rapidly and do not have enough churches for the amount of people, there are places that are not hearing God's word, that are at ropes end and they need hope, they need God and we are going there. So we prayed about it for a while, looked up demographics, prayed some more, and God put the Tampa Bay area on his heart and we prayed some more and then some more and researched some more and he's narrowed it down some more specifically to the St Pete area. So St Pete here we come !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
   Please be in much prayer for us,Satan dosn't want us on this amazing journey with God, he dosn't want hope brought to a people group and he dosn't want God's word expressed, so be in much prayer for our Journey.... this AMAZING JOURNEY WITH GOD !!!!!!!
