Well, it's Thanksgiving Day as I write this and when I stop to think how thankful I am for all the different prayer requests that God has honored over the past year it is enough to bring me to tears. I remember 4 years ago, sitting in the living room of my house on the day I decided to return to school and devote my life to serving Christ. I was feeling overwhelmed and wondered how in the world I would get everything done. I had to keep the business running, plus I had the prayer group, the chamber, and Rotary. Well, it turns out that I should have been wondering "how in heaven" will I get everything done. If you get nothing else from reading this please get this: God is not going to ask you to do anything that he does not equip you to do.

Why has every prayer I've offered up been answered? Why when people that should have been supportive turned their back to me did God remain faithful? Trust me, it is not because I'm super-spiritual. I am not the super-saved and I have no extra-ordinary abilities or even extra doses of faith. The simple fact is that God has answered my prayers because He is equipping me to do the work that He as asked me to do. I want to thank you for reading this and for your continued prayer. I know that my ministry will continue as long as you continue to lift me up in prayer.
