Prayer Warriors

Micah and I are currently learning a lot about our relationship with Christ and how that affects our marriage. This 'learning' experience has forced us to fully rely on God in all that we do, say, and think. Prayer has become our staple. Alone or together it seems to be an ongoing conversation lately and its amazing how God has been speaking to us.

We are currently looking for a church here in San Diego. One we can call home. One that gives us the biblical leadership we need, a church family that accepts us, and a place where we can build relationship that are centered on Christ. We really want to be able to find people we can call friends. And we want those friends to be ones that will not only be earthly friends, but will be friends in heaven as well. I cannot stress how important it is for us to find these friends so that we can continue to live our lives in a Godly fashion and not stumble into worldly desires. Having friendships that are based on worldly things is only going to hinder our relationship with God. So I ask you all to pray for us as we embark on this journey. Allow God to give us wisdom in our decision of a church home, and that he will guide us to a healthy environment that will be pleasing to him.

Pray that Micah and I continue to strive for a stronger relationship that is pleasing to God. That we will love each other unconditionally just as Christ intended. Pray that we will have our hearts full of faith, love, trust, and forgiveness and that Satan will never be able to separate us. There are many prayer request that I ask you all to join us in if you will:

  • To find a God centered church home
  • For us to understand neither is perfect and learn to forgive time and time again as Christ does for us.
  • For Sara who really needs to find Christ and be satisfied in the Love he has for her. To guide her to the righteous path of Christianity.
  • For myself to work on my forgiveness and love of those who hurt me. To love my 'enemies'.
  • For me to find a job that fits closely to Micah's work schedule so we can spend as much time growing as a couple as possible.
  • For Micah at work where he feels lack of challenge and unhappiness, give him healthy tasks to fill his time and help him help others.
  • And Thanksgiving for the amazing friends God has placed in our lives. For their support and Godly wisdom and unconditional love. I can never thank Him enough for each and every one of them, nor can I ever thank each of them for their impact on my life.
I am surrounded my Marines and Navy here in Cali, but I prefer to be a Prayer Warrior. Thanks so much for joining us on our journey! And thanks in advance for your continued prayer. I will try to keep you updated.

This is the message from last week of the church we are going to visit this coming week. Thought it was quite interesting that their message was on prayer. AND the executive pastor's son's name is Micah :o) The senior pastor was born in St. Louis AND is a Cardinals fan....I figure that will give Micah reason to believe that there is 'good teaching' at the church.

Hi Whitney...We are also praying for you and hope that you and Micah find all the happiness that God intended for you in marriage and life. Wish you could just pop over to England for a visit. We miss you!
