This is the initial post and may get a little long winded so I will try to narrow things down to the last week or two. On second thought, I am not going to keep it short. I will tell you exactly what God has done for me since the moment I rededicated my life to him.

Before; I was going through a divorce, in debt, experiencing insomnia, isolated and busy being self centered.

Once I realized that my life was not going as I had planned and that my motto "Everything I see before me is mine." was not working, I turned things back over to God. And let me tell you when you do that great things can happen. I don't just mean spiritually but in the physical world. He blessed me with a new wife, Merna. He pulled me out of enormous debt with a raise which was temporary but huge and lasted just long enough to wipe away my debts. My Omama was able to move in with me and we both benefited from the lower cost. I got married and now have more family to share my life with, I love my in laws dearly and the best thing of all is that they are Christians. My father has reconciled with all of his children and survived a heart attack. After much searching he provided our family with the perfect house in a wonderful location. I had the opportunity to meet more family on my Grandfather's side from Texas. And even though several members of my family pasted away since then, he has given me the strength and comfort that to be absent in the body is to be present with him. We attend a wonderful church called APC and I had the privilege last summer to go on a short term mission trip to Guatemala. During this years mission convention we were given the opportunity to sponsor our first child through ERDO and child care plus named "Mercy."  Converge a small group of young adults is who we enjoying hanging out with on Friday's and let me tell you we have never had so many great friends, what a blessing. This upcoming May we are going to be able to visit Israel the holy land as well as relatives in Ramallah. Coupled with that will be a short trip to Greece to visit more family. Not to mentioned all of the prayers he has answered for me personally concerning my family and wife that he has faithfully answered.
So to sum up I have a beautiful God fearing loving wife, a new church, new friends, a happier closer family, no debt, a good job, opportunities to serve in ministry, great memories had and to come, a chance to take a trip of a life time and walk where Jesus walked and a whole new life. Stay tuned because he blessing come daily and are rarely foreseen.
