| Wow, I have just finished my first year of seminary. This has been a long journey, though not always easy. However, it has been interesting and challenging. God has really provided for me over the past year. When I began this website I was out of a job and had no ides where God was leading me. To be honest, I was not even asking God for directions. Since, I have found a stable job working in Training for The Home Depot. I enrolled in seminary. Finding time to spend with my family and children has been difficult, but God has provided a way for time to be allocated to all aspects of my life. On the church front, I am still teaching 10th grade Sunday School. I have added wednesday night training of dicsipleship for high school boys. I am also serving as a deacon. I have decided to take the summer off of school to make sure I can keep things balanced. I am also being led by the Lord to explore other areas of ministry. I had been so sure that I was being called to Youth Ministry, however, I have not expored other avenues to make sure. I will be doing this in the upcoming months. I plan to meet with a strategy cooridnator with the IMB in June to discuss his position. I am really excited about where God will lead my life. There is no fear when God is in control. |

| "God is so good to me! God is so good to Haley!" - Quote by my daughter Haley Eason at age 3. Patience What does Reachout Missions look like one year later? I am being asked to understand the word patience in my life. Patience is not something that I deal with very well. I want to know now what God has planned for my life and ministry. However, God has chosen to keep this hidden from me, for now. Do I understand why? No. But, I do know that one day I will look back and understand why. Reahout Missions is not what I thought it would be at this point. I do not really feel that I am on mission right now. I feel that I am growing more educated through my studies. One of the original goals was to educate others about missions. I have not been very successful. Was my goal inacurate or am I falling down on the job. Am I getting sidetracked with the knowledge I am gaining? What is God's plan for the use of my abilities? These questions need answers. However, I need to be patient and listen for the Word of God. I need to take the time to be quiet. What if God is speacking to me in the still small voice? Am I being to loud to hear him? |
