I just had to come back to my written journal in this blog recording what has been happening of late. First and foremost, I am a great grandpa! My first great grandchild was born on July 5th. She is a precious little angel named Haven Ann. Her mom is Faith and her dad is Christian. So, Christian and Faith came together and created Haven. There is some kind of spiritual picture here!

For the first time in three years of our counseling ministry I’ve had to delay starting intakes who are seeking help. This greatly troubled me but there just were no openings. In addition to this, one of the counselors had to step aside for a period of time due to his health. A week ago another one of the counselors told me she would be stepping aside the end of August to begin a new ministry God is leading her into. I wasn’t sure what God had to do with all of this, but it sure has left me with some question marks. I’ve talked to our pastor who oversees this ministry for his guidance which at this time is to pray.

This morning my devotional time has reminded that I am to do just what God has asked me to do all along–offer counsel to those I have coming. I can fret all I want about some of this, but He wants me to trust Him. I do trust Him, but, for a moment I needed this reminder.

I love how God works and how He comes along side and brings Light into a dark or dimly lit room. The Light doesn’t illuminate what I was wanting, but it sure illuminated what He wanted me to see–HIM–ALMIGHTY GOD!
