The events of the past week at my home church have made me reflect on the past several years of my life. My work career has caused me much pain and heartache. 3 times in the last 5 years I have lost my job. Each time was without specific reason and left me to doubt myself and my abilities. I've been thankful to have a loving supportive wife whose confidence in me kept me afloat when I was down and out on the inside. My family has worshipped at Greenwood Park now for 5 plus years. During this time I barely got to know Bill Brumit the person but quickly was in awe of his knowledge of the Bible. I don't know where God is directing our church or Bill at this time but I'm confident he has a plan. A close friend of mine frequently makes the statement that God's timing is perfect. That sometimes is hard for us to grasp as humans but I have faith in my Lord and Savior. I hope that we can all pull together during this difficult time that will test the bonds of friends and family. Let us remember that we are here to glorify God first and foremost. I heard a quote once that said "Life wouldn't be so hard if we didnt's expect it to be so easy." There is a lot of truth in that statement. Continue in prayer and God Bless.

We are praying for Greenwood Park and its members, too. We are so blessed to call all of you family. Love you guys.
God tells Isaiah that He would be with him when he passes through the waters, through the rivers and through the fire. He tells him not to be afraid for He is with him. Isa. 43:2-5. God is with us in what we are going "through." And we'll come out better on the other side. God is in control. His timing is perfect. and He's never made a mistake...even though we may not believe it. It's still true.
Love you, your wonderful wife, and all your kids. I'm glad to be like your second mom.

I agree! God's timing IS perfect and he DOES have a plan for us.
