. . . Moving. . Moved.

Hey, all. Things have been pretty hectic here the past couple weeks - with 2 more incidents with the car, "breaking-in", demolishing the back window, and then tearing apart the door to break into the car - and me waking up, frightening off the robber and then 2 nights later is back trying to steal the battery from the car. Needless to say - after a week of meetings and discussing the situation, Keila and I, moved to an apartment in a more secure part of town. The apartment of a family from the church. After a week of cleaning the house, and moving somethings to the apartment, and cleaning the apartment, moving more things, cleaning the house again, helping Pastor Dan, move into the house. I am finally finding some time to relax.
I am able to sleep well at night and am able to relax and have a little break - while still teaching, and working the in church plants. In the apartment - I have been able to find time to spend more time reading, praying, reading, it's been a great change. Through all of this God remains faithful, and constantly teaching me new things, more things He wants to change in me. Walking everyday in the fruit of the spirit - (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control) Galatians 5:22-23 and covered, protected with the Armor of God - Belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of the gospel of peace, shield of faith, sword of the spirit, and the helmet of salvation. Ephesians 6:10 - . Teaching me the importance of putting on the armor of God - and remaing in prayer at all times. Learning a lot about spiritual warfare - something that a lot of times we blow off as nothing - but learning about the reality and the intensity of the battle, and war that we are in as Christians!! Praise the Lord that we know the ending - We have the Victory in Jesus Christ and the enemy is defeated!!!! May we live each day in victory! May God continue to bless all of you! "Pray without ceasing. . . "
