Dear Brothers and Sisters in IAUA (ee-ah-oo-ah) our Father,

Greetings on this day of preparation for the weekly sabbath. I hope this newsletter finds you in good health and happy in the service of the Lord.

These are trying times for me as I face uncertainty about my future. The long term future with God in heaven is assured by my belief in his promise. Whatever trials I face in the nearer future is overshadwed by the glory to come.

Romans 8:16-18
The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

My uncertainty has been intensified by a recent inquiry as to whether I would consider a job possibility in Florida. My initial reaction is a fervent "No". I began to feel a strong sense of deja vu. Let me explain.

Fifteen years ago I lived in northeastern Illinois. I was laid off from two jobs within three months. My financial situation was desperate. I received an offer for a job in Pennsylvania. I would never have considered moving anywhere in the East but I realized that God had put me in such a desperate situation so that I would consider anything.

The details of the circumstances that forced me to submit to that choice would take several paragraphs to explain. The results of that move were a blessing that would take pages to describe in detail.

Now, I again find myself in a desperate situation having been unemployed for over a year and a half. I would never have considered moving anywhere in the South but I realize again that God has put me in such a desperate situation so that I will again consider anything. I do not know what God has planned for me but I know He has a plan.

The uncertainty is now intensified because job interviews for a possible job will take weeks. My house is already sold and June 8 I will have nowhere to live. It will take weeks to close on another home. I need to make choices very soon.

I still struggle in my human weakness with concern for the immediate future. I do not know where I will be living six weeks from now. There is no doubt in my mind that God has a plan for my life. There is no doubt that He will provide. The evil one constantly tempts my faith, trust and hope in the Shepherd of my life. Psalms 23 is a daily source of comfort to me.

My eyes have been opened to the need to be ready to do whatever God wants no matter how earthshaking. I realize that I really need to seek whatever He leads me to do. As a final act of searching by faith, I sent the following email to a dozen different ministries.

-----

I have a burden on my heart for service to the Lord. I feel that the Lord is coming soon and I want to work for a ministry instead of for the world. I am sending this email to people who may know of a ministry that needs a helper or two. I believe the Lord has a special place for me. Please pray for me in my search. Please forward my email to anyone you know who may be looking for a helper.

My formal training is as a software engineer. I have a Master's degree in Computer Science from Andrews University. I also have a background in music and audio engineering for both sound reinforcement and recording. I have done some work in construction from time to time including as a volunteer assisting with building the All Nations Church in Berrien Springs.

My wife has an Associate's degree as a Medical Assistant. She has several years experience working in doctor's offices.

I am interested in any opportunity where I can work to assist in any way with spreading the message of the Second Coming to the world. I am already in the final stages of selling my house to prepare for whatever the Lord may provide, wherever He may lead.

Thank you for your attention.

-----

I am willing to do whatever the Lord leads me to do. My constant prayer is that He will guide me. My fervent, anguished prayer is for the power of the Holy Spirit to give me wisdom. I will do whatever He wants me to do.

Are you willing to do whatever God may call you to do?

May we all find peace and unity in the soon coming of IAUShUO (Ee-ah-oo-shoo-oh) Messiah, the Son of God.

Shabbat Shalom
