Hello readers. I just wanted to give you all a quick update on the prison ministry. As I stated in a previous blog I have been working on developing a new computer program to manage the printing and tracking of the subscriptions after Joseph's system crashed over a year ago. I have been making some serious attempts at getting this system up and running but no matter what I did I just couldn't find the right direction to go. After much prayer God sent me a brother named Timothy to help, yet still we experienced roadblocks every step of the way. In all honesty there were times where I wanted to throw my hands in the air and say, "Well, if God doesn't want to bless this ministry I don't know what to say!" I confess that in my frustration I laid the project down a few times for several weeks while inmates kept writing asking to be added to the list. I felt terrible but I didn't know what to do. All I could do was write some of them back individually but I didn't consider that honoring what I was supposed to be doing in God's eyes. I managed to get only 4 rounds of newsletters out in 9 months. Needless to say, I feel convicted this was just not my best performance by any stretch of the imagination.
Well, all things considered I had a nagging feeling that God was working some purpose in all the delays and the trials. Indeed I have come to find there are several issues with my mindset He wanted me to come to terms with. Not only that but there are several other activities God is leading me in regarding the local community. I won't elaborate on the full story at this time but suffice to say that everything is coming together just as He has planned it and I have found security in trusting His provision.
After an attitude adjustment I have hit the ground running with Timothy again, this time with a fresh approach to the concept of how to accomplish the goal at hand. I believe we are on the brink of a breakthrough and the lessons learned will benefit this ministry in tremendous ways. Keep us in your prayers please! May the Spirit bless and keep you in the light of Yah's love and truth my brothers and sisters in Christ!
