I am Blessed!

I just wanted to take a moment and tell you all how blessed I am. Just a few short months ago I was going through some major challenges in my life. Faced with the pressures of merging two churches into one, getting my licensing squared away with the AOG and some very major marital problems I was more stressed than I think I'd ever been.

However, I never doubted that God would bring me and my family and the church family through. I've walk with Him long enough to know that He is faithful to finish what He starts. So I continued to believe God for the fulfillment of His promises.

The church merger went incredibly smooth; God fingerprint were all over this one! The people truly love each other and you would never know that this was two seporate congregations. Watching the young people love on the more senior crowd is a thing to be beheld!

A few months ago it was a difficult thing to pay the bills. We lived pretty much week to week. Not to say we ever starved... you can look at me and see that isn't a problem, but things were tight. Now just a few month later with my new job the Keefer family has been able to breath a little and actually save money for one of the first times in our life.

All things are not better; my wife's health has declined considerably in recent months with vertigo and fibromyalga, yet I can say that we are blessed. During this time of great physical challenge in Jodi's life I have seen incredible growth and courage rise up in her; she is not the same person. And with the addition of daily prayer and devotions together, Jodi and I have grown closer than we've ever been in our 15 year marriage. When you keep Jesus the center a marriage naturally grows together.

I am blessed, I am blessed, I am blessed! With a great wife, awesome kids, an incredibly loving and growing church and most of all the Blesser Himself (Jesus)! I am blessed!

Go and Make a Difference!
I know you can!
