After a full week back at it and now mid way through second week, I can comfortably say that I'm back in the saddle again. Work has been steady but not overwhelming. I had the opportunity to book 4 jobs while I was out of the country, which was good. I have a few more that are pending too, which is great. If you don't know what I do then the simplest explanation is a Salesman for a company that designs and builds Assembly Lines for mass producing products, usually including Robots. Ok, maybe that wasn't even simple. I always dread explaining my job. I just realized though that in 3 weeks I will be celebrating 16 years with this company...whoa! Next year, if I make it ha, I will be celebrating 17 years here...I was 17 when I was hired. That is crazy to think of...I will have worked here exactly half of my life. It has been a roller coaster, changing departments several times, but finally finding my way into Applications which I've loved the most. Pray for me as there are a few strange things here that need some tweaking and God will have to do it.
Ministry wise it has been good getting back into things. This past Sunday leading Kids Live was awesome! I always enjoy it but this week it just went so well that I loved it. Played Guitar and sang 3 songs before I taught about Zacheus, acting the story out. Had a great time. Pray the kiddo's got something out of it!
We are transitioning over the next month into a new curriculum which I'm helping decipher and put together for the Worship/Teaching portion while Joel, my friend, is in charge of the classroom part. Both of us under Billy & Bethany of course who are in charge of Kids as a whole. I'm pumped about this new curriculum: Gospel Project thru Lifeway! I will be going through the videos and the teaching material and sift / condense / add to / subtract, etc. depending. There is a 1st and 2nd grade material as well as 3rd thru 5th but we do 1st thru 5th right now together, so I have work to do. I'm excited about this though. Pray for me in this!
My mens Small Group was set to meet tonight but Calvary is having a special prayer service (3 Wed in a row actually, tonight being the middle). The youth pastor, Kenny Engals, wife has cancer and they aren't giving her much hope without a miracle. So we are praying so! There are other needs in the church and with people in the church which makes this a necessary wonderful opportunity. Please pray for Christi and Calvary Chapel Chattanooga!
Last thing i'll mention is my friend Candi has asked me to assemble Rubicon for a Youth Conference her church in Tunnel Hill GA is having next Friday night. I'm pumped about this and am praying God is exalted! Some of the ole Rubicon guys aren't available but God is working on who He wants. As of right now I will be playing acoustic and singing lead, Chris Morrow playing lead guitar and singing BGV's, Candi will play keys and sing lead/BGV's, and my brother Kevin will be playing drums. Looking for a Bass player. Also Paige will be going with us to perform one of her Sign Dramas! We are pumped and pray God opens more doors like this. We'd like to maybe do this type of meeting once a month until God brings who He wants together and then see where He takes it from there. So pray for us! I'll let you know how it turns out!
Thanks for all the prayers past, present, and future. Feel free to email me with prayer requests or if you need some encouraging words. Let me know you are reading these or praying for us!
In Christ,
Kyle
