What is the Next Step Now?
Before I left California, one of my good friends Todd Oakley, prayed this verse over me:
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Sometimes that is all I have to cling to as I face the challenge of finding a place to work here in Michigan (the highest unemployment state in the country). It is going to take a miracle, but I know for sure that God sent me home and He is able to make the way for me. My days have been spent networking with old and new friends, and finding out people and places that they can point me towards to find employment in management or information technology.
Please pray that Jesus will continue to direct my steps to the place that he has set out for me. At some point, I would love to plant a church here in Adrian or in the surrounding area. For now, I feel that I need to find a place that will support my family financially. I have until mid-August, so time is getting shorter. Sometimes I wish faith building wasn't so hard, but I find that the hard times makes us into the people that God can use for greater purposes!

Bill, I read you e-mail and your web site. as I was reading it, the Lord brought a story in mind. The story of the episode at kadesk-barnea: the report of the spies.(Deut1: vs 19-21) It seem that this story could be about you. God gave you the manna and quial while you were with us at the vineyard, but it wasn't home,Now you have come home(v20)Hold to your heart verse 21; don't be dismayed by what your hear. Know that God has a purpose for you and your family
