School's Out!

 A whole month has passed since my last update. The end of the college school year had many ups and downs. It was very busy since I had to go to Maine to help my parents after my mom's heart attack. Coming back and playing catch-up with classes and grading along with getting in client visits for my job, and starting training for my substitute ESL job, has kept my schedule full.

Please pray for me as I have faced some opposition in my job for being a Christian and talking to clients who already have a background in the Christian faith. I almost lost my job last week. I am on a probationary period, and I am praying that I can work around the issues and continue to help those in my care. Satan is not happy with how people are beginning to wake up and realize there is a God who cares about them in their darkest needs.

Please pray as I continue to connect two people who trusted Christ with some counseling services that will help them grow in the Lord. I still have a long list of others that I have spoken with who need to be saved, and I have two new ones that I have yet to have opportunity to witness to.

My new substitute job will open more doors for getting the Gospel to people who might not otherwise hear. Please pray that God uses me and gives me opportunity to give the Gospel to those who are seeking Christ.

I am on a spiritual journey like I have never been on before. God is working in my life as I continue following Him through the doors He opens. I am praying that I will be able to start traveling in missions full time. In order to do this, I need full time support or an online job that I can work from anywhere in the world. 

Please pray for two girls who are moving in a direction which will most likely be a long dark journey. I have been trying to push them towards right, and they have been given much grace by many people, but they continue to move away from authority. Pray that God can break down the barriers of their hearts and minds towards His will.

I still have an unspoken request which continues to weigh heavily on my mind. The hold Satan has on this situation is getting stronger due to the choices those involved continue to make. The hurt and heartache caused to others in recent days has been difficult to accept, but I keep reminding myself that they are not acting in the Holy Spirit but in their flesh. 

Please pray for my safety as I drive 200-300 miles twice a month to visit clients. I had a minor accident in the country which could have been much worse, and I almost had another in town. Both were in this last week, so that along with the other stress has been hard emotionally and mentally. I truly believe God protected me from death in both circumstances.
