     Today want to share with you the blessings of God on this journey.  It all started back honestly before Belize or Honduras were even realities or possibilities of serving.  I knew in my heart that this year was going to be the year that I had to get out and just do it. I had been setting idol for so long and was falling back to a state of infancy spiritually speaking.  As I began to read my bible more and more I noticed that when men of God were stepping out and wanted to do the will of God they prayed, so I painted a wall in my apartment with chalkboard paint and I started day one....  This was a very challenging thing for me to do, I had never committed to pray for 40 days, but I felt it was something that had to be done if things were going to change.  I was staying the night at my place the other night with my friends that have rented my apartment, when I woke up the next morning on the couch the first thing my eyes focused on was day 9, it was probably cause it was written larger and in my typical horrible hand writing haha.  It really showed me that God has been moving so much and in turn I really felt that I need to share with you.  It stated "God if this be your will for my life, open the door to this take away all things that hold me back and settle all the things that must take place for this to happen, and I will walk through that door and I will never look back."  One of the biggest things I have been dealing with over the last few years, was trying to settle my house with my ex-wife.  We had been dead locked for almost two years back in November we finally were able to get an appraisal done on the house to see exactly what there was if anything to be fighting over.  Now notice I said November, if you have ever had an appraisal done you know its a fairly quick process to get done.  Well with that being said, we got the results back like six months later. The news was that the house was not worth even what we owed on it, with that news she said I could just have it.  So this meant that I was going to be able to start the refinance process to see if I was going to be able to get it in my name only.  So I went to the back and set down and started the process, first things first we are going to have to order and appraisal Mr. Davis, it will be $300 and its and out of pocket expense.  At this point I have already decided to go and had been trying to pay off and take care of debt so I had ran myself rather thin on the finance side of things, but it had to be done so I payed and mentioned I had only about a month left before I was leaving the States.  He agreed to try to help get it done as fast as possible but most refi take at least a month most longer.  That being said the appraiser called me that day and set up appt. for the following day.  I meet with him and showed him the property and asked him if he could get it back asap it would be awesome.  Well when he left I went and checked on the properties and my renters, I also had not been there in some time so I had large stack of mail thumbing through it I came to letter the sender was familiar to me but I was not expecting any thing from them.  I opened the envelope to find a very encouraging letter and a check for $300.  See the day after I was stressing the out of pocket expense that had not even cleared my account, God was right there providing.
     The next part of this overwhelming process was getting the news about the appraisal back.  The following Monday the back called me with the results.  The guy started it on Thursday and that Friday was Good Friday, and I had the results back Monday.  The first one took five months this one took one day.  Gods timing is not our own if that first one would have came back at any other time the realities of what I am doing would have not been a possibility.  The results of the appraisal were good, and I was going to be able to refinance it in my name no problems.  So I set down and started talking numbers with the guy. Long story short I was going to be able to get the lowest rate possible which dropped my payment, I was going to be able to include closing cost, and I was going to be able to take just a bit more above that and still keep the lowest rate.  It truly was a blessing from God and took my anxiety down about twenty notches.  I get home that night and I am crunching numbers and I discovered that with what money I had in savings and the above and beyond closing cost money, it was almost to the dollar amount of what my car payoff is which is something that I have also been stressing.
     So with all that being said see there is no real reason that I should not have been trusting God to provide.  The settlement of the house and my car were the two things that I was not placing in Gods hands and asking Him to provide the means of a way to settle them. As I sit here on a plane traveling to the place that I feel God has called me to serve, I cant help but see how faithful he has been. May 15 2014 will forever be the day that my life changed. I am from this point forward living on faith and the support of great people that are about the things God has called me to. From here I should be posting every 5-8 days as teams leave, ready for the ride!
