My Job

Well most of you know that I have a part time job now to help make ends meet.

Well I work for a farm in Creedmoor, NC. Basically I run a produce stand outside near my home. I sell fruit and vegetable all day long. It is a hard job, long hours, but God is teaching me a lot through this all. I praise Him for the job, for the people I meet at the job, and for the opportunities that the job has given me to share Christ to people.

I start around 7am each morning by loading my truck up with fresh fruits and vegetables that we grow at the farm. I then make it to my stand around 9am and unload my truck and put all my produce in a neat and orderly fashion. Then from 9am to 5:30 I have around 150-200 customers come by and buy produce from me. At 5:30 I load what is left in the truck and mosey back to the farm to once again unload. By the time I leave it is near 7pm and it has been a long tiring day.

Anyway, that is what I do these days. Attached is a picture of me at my local produce stand. If you are ever in the area of Butner/Creedmoor, NC, come by and see me.

June 4th -6th, here in Durham, NC they had a Pastors Conference for the Resurgence of the Church. It was a GREAT conference, with some well known Pastors challenging us in our theological prejudices, our conveying of the gospel, and leading our churches for the glory of God and not for man, and so much more!

Desiring God has posted all of the messages as well as the Q/A panels. I have attached the link here. I am very partial to Pastor John Pipers two messages as he is discussing the need for international missions, so I think you can guess why I am partial to that.

I do hope you get a chance to listen to these over the next week or so, as I think that God will use them to convict you, shake you up, and encourage you in many ways as it did for me and other of my peers that were there also.

News About Kristen

Well, things have not changed much since the last blog. The initial mammograms that were taken got lost in the mail, to which we waited two weeks for them to show up. They never did, so the new doctor that Kristen has chosen is going to have new ones taken tomorrow.

They will then do some other biopsy's to see if they can do a lumpectomy, rather than a radical mastectomy. So we hope to hear the news later this week as to what approach will be taken. So please pray that God will allow the surgeon to do the lumpectomy which would be a lot better for Kristen.

Sorry the blogs are few far between, but our next residence does not have cable or Internet hook ups, so we get very little time on the Internet when we go to different peoples houses. Hey, we better get use to that before we get to Africa, right??

We hope to inform more later.

Thanks for all the prayers, cards and encouragement.

Also take a look at the kids blog, as they have added some new stuff on their site as well!

Blessings!
