If you had asked me, I would have told you that it's been only 6-7 months since my last post, but looking at the list clearly shows me it's been a year!
I hardly know where to begin, but I'll keep it brief:
January 2025 - Some of you know that I have been a fulltime caregiver to my dad. He had dementia and died this month causing my wife and I to scramble to make living arrangements. Without his contribution towards the rent, we were in trouble.
February 2025 - We found a new place. It's not exactly pretty, but it's home.
June 2025 - We found an amazing new church to gather and fellowship at. Those of you that have followed me for a while know that I prefer a non-denominational church, but where I live there are very few of them, and none of them are worth going to (if you're further along in your walk like we are). We average 3-4 visits per week for various things and our Co-Pastors are amazing; I hope this is our church home for a long time. It's a Baptist church, an Independent one. Surprisingly, they use the KJV to teach with, but don't care what version you use. They don't force a collection plate down your throat (you have to look for it!). It's good, we're happy, we're being fed.
September 10, 2025 - Unless you've been living under a rock, you know what happened on this day. This is the day that Charlie Kirk was shot and killed. This is the day that crazy-left-leaning-cookoos celebrated and cheered his murder because they said HE WAS THE ONE who was dangerous! On this day, I found out about the shooting 3 minutes after it had happened, thanks to Nick Shirley. While I was watching Nick, God spoke to me and told me that He wants me back in the field! I have to be honest with you, I'm struggling. To some degree, I'm still recovering from my surgery, I'm not sure I'm well enough. I know I should be trusting God, but fear is a powerful thing. I know that in 2 Timothy God said:
2 Timothy 1:7 - For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
But I find myself much like Paul, fleeing to go and build tents for 3 years before listening! I am struggling to bring that 3 years down to something reasonable, but it's hard. Especially when I have no budget. I've turned my prayers into an appeal that goes something like this, "If you really need ME out there, then You're going to have to give me the money to make it happen." I don't think I've ever done this before, but would you pray for me as well? Will you also appeal to God, that if this is what He wants me to do that He'll open the doors and make a way?
November 2025 - I've been in the city I'm in since March of 2022. I have been unable to find full-time employment. I am very frustrated, but my faith is intact. I restarted my consulting business, but so far I haven't found any clients.
So that brings me to today. Still unemployed, still waiting on God to make the money happen. My faith is as perfect as it comes. I don't question God as to His motives or plans, I just continue to trust in Him ALONE.
I would once again ask you to please pray for me, that God "Leads me where he needs me". If He wants me out in the field, doing much of what Charlie and others like him have done, to please give me the necessary funds to make it happen. I'm equipped for just such a thing, the only thing I lack is the money.
As always, thank you so much for continuing to care about what I'm doing. I promise that when God goes into action that I'll bring it all to you, either right here, or perhaps even in a future YouTube channel?!
God Bless,
Pastor Keith
