What Happened to February???

Hey everyone!!! Sorry that I missed out on February...

There's been a lot of stuff going on and here are some things to name a few:

1) Divorce coming to finalization
2) Traveling out of town on business
3) Helping a brother in the LORD start-up his business' website


DIVORCE
Yes, I know that it seems like it's been forever that the divorce is coming to a close, but I signed the last bit of paperwork to send to my wife's attorney so that they can set the court date and all. I won't have to appear, and I never intended to appear, because this is not what I want or what the LORD wants. My attorney will appear in my stead, to make sure that all goes smoothly.

You may be asking yourself "How do I feel about this?"

I feel sad because my wife is not saved. She will die in hell forever because she does not know Jesus Christ as Savior and LORD of her life. My prayer remains that the LORD woo her through the HOLY SPIRIT to draw her to repentance so that she will receive Jesus and be saved from the lake of fire.

When the LORD does these things, then my wife will have a "heart of flesh" instead of a "heart of stone" and she will see things through the LORD's eyes instead of the world's eyes.

Will my wife and I be reconciled and restored?

I believe so.

Many other people that know me and my situation say "Alex, move on with your life. Marry a Christian woman so that you can be more effective for the LORD...blah...blah...blah..."

I am not denying what my LORD told me over 2 1/2 years ago - "What I (The LORD) have put together, let no man separate" and "I will reconcile and restore you and your wife unto one another and to me"

I was sidetracked for almost a year, putting a delay upon what the LORD is going to do, by committing adultery against my wife. I made a HUGE mistake and now, I will have to wait patiently, like the LORD has waited upon me.

I am grateful that He is MIGHTY TO SAVE. HE is full of MERCY and GRACE. HE sent HIS ONLY SON, to come down to the earth, to die for our sins.

My I never, ever forget how wretched a sinner I am, so that I can cling to the CROSS OF CHRIST, knowing that HE is the Author and Finisher of my faith.

TRAVEL
Part of my job as a Government Contractor, is that it requires travel. So when we have land-based testing to conduct, I normally go to the Eastern Shore (Wallops Island, VA) to work. This takes up a lot of my time, so if any of you have called me the last few weeks of February, I apologize for not getting back with you. My hours generally run from 3 p.m. to 3 a.m., so I might have been trying to get caught up on lost sleep.

PARTNERING
I have partnered with a brother in the LORD to get his website up to help draw more business. His name is Pete Bowling III. The website address is: http://www.bowlingsurfboards.com
Pete has been shaping for over 20 years and I can attest to his awesome shaping skills, since I own one of His shapes, my 10'6" Longboard. It's the best longboard that I've ever ridden. Check out the site when you get the chance and if you're looking for a custom shaped surfboard, Pete's The Best Shaper for the job. (NO, that's not a shameless plug, is it?)

Anyway, please keep me in your prayers. My specific requests are:

Serving the LORD through Missions
Finances
Business with Bowling Surfboards

Mahalo,
Alex
