Changes...
So I totally dodged the month of November on here. Sorry 'bout that.
It's actually been an incredible month in everyway. The job has been good and I'm loving staying at the Nelson's and worshipping here with the church fam.
God is amazing. I've heard inspirational stories of God's work in the Bible and books written by Christian authors. However, none of that matches the feeling I've experienced while God's hand in my family's life and my own.
For the past 3 years, my parents have struggled through a divorce after 22 years of marriage and 20 years of ministry together. Every since then, Dad's been praying for forgiveness and for reconciliation in his relationship with Mom....
Two weeks ago, Dad was involved in a massive wreck a couple of weeks ago and was close to death. He went around a curve too fast in his rig on a wet road and rolled it on its passenger side and slid for a 100 yards or so. If it weren't for his seatbelt, he would have slipped between the cement and cab. Well, fortunately, no one else was involved in the accident, which was considered his fault since he could have driven more defensively. Now the feds say he can't drive for 3-5 years because of his at-fault accident. Appearantly mom and he had been talking casually for a couple of weeks before the accident anyway. Well, mom was like, the are hundreds of highing paying jobs in New Orleans. If he wanted to, he could stay in the house and get a job to get a new career going
....An answered prayer!
However, just today, I found out that Mom lost her job. Her company was at risk of hostle take over for several months, but Katrina made that more possible. It's going to take another adjustment for me to get use to picture my parents together again, but spirits are high that God will reveal what His plan is real soon. God still amazes me.
Today was a really good day for me because I started teaching the 4-6th graders in the church family. Those kids are so smart and alive! They brought out an enthusiasm I hadn't felt in a long time. We had fun drawing on balloons and reading over Matthew 22:15-22 and talking about the gifts we give to people and to God.
The elementary and middle school kids performed a really good and funny Christmas skit tonight also.
I'm glad to be part of this church family. They make me smile.
Because of the Messiah who loved His own,
Potter
