Jax is here


wow what a great day.. at least it really got started well after we got out of the surgical room. (for some reason i can't shake the memories of being in Surgeries all in my childhood, just make me weak) Had to ask Jesus to be holding Faith's hand because i had to walk out.. I told her it was better for me to walk out and come in take pictures and walk back out then for me to pass out and not get to be apart of anything.
Jax woke up tonight and ate for the first time around 10:00pm tonight.. he did a great job and had his eyes open for a good 10 minutes before he dosed back off to sleep.
i have facebooked my hands to death loaded up pictures to death. now the only Daunting task i have to complete is get ready for Africa.. and i am so not ready, Jesus help me to prepare in this short amount of time, and please forgive me for falling back into a patter of procrastination.
i have alot of writing to do, and alot of loose ends to tie up to be ready for the trip.. wow.
but i am going to enjoy the blessing of today.. thank you so much father for another son. I pray like the other 3 that he too will fall Deeply in Love with you Father God.
Amen

Africa (water wells & Teaching)

Hey here is an update on our Driling rig.... we bought it.. Thank you Jesus, now just praying as they make one that is simliar to this. Drilling Rig Video I will be started in January and should be finished by Febuary, hopefully it will be there sometime in March.
Please pray
Coustomes will not put Okello through a ton of red tape to get it out.
No robbers (land or Sea)
For two truck: one to pull the drill, the other to haul the Air Compressor for the Rock Hammer!
For each community that God is taking this rig to give them clean water, we have proably over 20 villages waiting for clean water and more to come. this is a huge praise, where it took 1 or 2 months to dig a hand well with not so clean water, in 1 day we will be able to drill down to 100-300 feet of clean water for the people. It will stop the collerah and disnteary that kills so many.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Teaching time....
I leave for Africa soon, still trying to wrap up my teaching subjects for the week that i will be there.. nervous, excited, hopeful, new friendship, is this just the first of many times or just the time in which God will open the door.
Please pray for me as i have this opportunity to come along side of Pastors in Africa to encourage, to strengthen, & to challenge, and to learn from as well.
have a great Friday everyone

Intro

Hi my name is Scotty...
My Hobbies... are.... ha ha... yea right..
Hey but seriously... i have an encourager's heart. I use the Bible to help bring life to people and not to choke it out of them.

God cares about you, He has a plan for you, and God wants a relationship with you...

I never in a million years thought a person like me could ever be loved by a God that was holy, and to my perception, so distant.
But i have found His Grace, I have found His mercy, and pray that someday if you have not already realize this.... John 3:17 "God did not send Jesus into the world to condemn the World, But to Save it" the first verse i am teaching my boys to learn..
May our God come along aside of you and meet you in the mist of you Despise, and show you how alive He really is, How much He really loves you, and how He is there not to take you problems away, but there to come along side of you when no one else will.

Scotty
