Fatherhood

Praying for ya bud, have missed seeing you online, but I hope you're having an amazing time with your son! Keep faith, God provides even if it comes about in the strangest of ways at the strangest of times.

How's thing going now? Have been praying for you since last post.

Adrian, Becoming a dad/parent is a great thing and  truely a blessing from *GOD*!  Although we feel more responsibility and yes stress on the home front for those of us who were once new at it!  It soon seems that the years will soon fly by and you will wonder how did you miss it?  All the time as you were dealing with lives obstacles along the way;  time will get away from you if you aren't careful!  I find myself wishing I could go back and spend my time with lesser stress and enjoy my child's years once again!

Life has always been hard for me and always has had it's problems;  but somehow or someway *GOD* seems to bless us with what we need!  I've heard *CHRIST*-ians say I had it better before I was saved and it reminds me of the Hebrews when they were in the wilderness complaining and saying that they had it better when they were under bondage in Egypt!

Just a *WORD* of encouragement;  when we were dead in our sins and living to the ways of the world as I remember it;  it was very hard for me and I lived in constant fear of dying without *CHRIST* in my life!  There was no peace!  Although when we become *CHRIST*-ians;  things are still hard;   we have something that we did not have before!  An advocate that will take our petitions to the *FATHER* on our behalf and *HE* will hear us!

*HE* will fight our battles!  *HE* wants to help us!  I'm so glad to hear that you are doing better and It thrills me to hear of blessings such as children!  They are straight from *GOD* and they help make life a little more tolerable!  I still struggle with the everday stresses;  but having my child is truely a blessing that I would never want to live without!  Enjoy your child/ren because *GOD* has richly given you and your wife a blessing!

There will continue to be hard times and good times;  but *GOD* is shaping us into  better people;  that through all these struggles we are being made much stronger and more in the likeness of *CHRIST*;  *HIS* *SON*!   Continue to hang in there and stay in the *WORD* of *GOD* and *HE* will never forsake those who are obedient to *HIS* gospel!

And we all need prayer;  so I'll try to keep you in my prayers!  Have a great *CHRIST*-mas my friend!

Hang in there, Adrian.

Praying for you, your family, and work.

He obviously knows how strong you are to have endured this far and knows that you can, through him, endure even more, which it looks like you have been doing. You're not hopeless and you know that. I'll be praying for strength for you guys and for doors to be opened and closed in the circumstances you're in.

Miracle happened on moving btw. We found a much better place than that and it's even lesser of a rental. Of course, things come and try and ruin it, but I won't be the bearer of bad news tonight.

Thanks for asking Monica. It's been a busy year. I finished up this semester even with all the busyness and pressure of freelance work/fatherhood. God has blessed us with a wonderful apartment that we talked about in January and we will be here for the next year and a half, or whatever is left of it.

Thanks for the prayers. The work is always stressful, because it comes and goes, and not consistently, but God is working everything out.

I am currently pursuing my passion for photography, in addition to continuing to work on web/design and God has been blessing me there as well. Just trying to get my name out there and get some work has been a bit difficult, but I think things are looking up.
