We have been in one of the hardest seasons of life these past few months. Health, finance, children, travel, marriage; you name it and the enemy has come in like a flood to try and steel, kill and destroy!

Lisa has been bed ridden for weeks now. Trips to the emergency room, test after test; IV's, shots, prayer – the doctors can find nothing; we thought we were actually going to loose her a few times – no kidding.

The kids were obviously very concerned. In a family meeting I was explaining to them how life is about seasons... how, in each season of life, no matter how hard or bad it seems, or how amazing and wonderful it seems – that season will end. And, it's never as bad as it seems and it's never as good as it seems – life is about one simple thing – putting your hope in God.

I was on a walk a few days ago; crying, praying, questioning the Lord - and my father called; he told me the Lord had given him Isaiah 40 – he asked me to read it and call him back...

As I read the whole chapter I felt something change. I was reminded, once again, that "Though He slay me, yet I will hope in Him" Job 13:15

I released ministry; I released my energy business; I released my kids and Lisa – I read Isaiah 40 to my family and, with a freedom in my spirit man and rest; I went back to being a husband, a dad, a minister and a business man.

Lisa is out of bed, almost completely healed – my business is close to amazing prosperity and God blew our minds last night as we gathered for our g42 Church.

Hope. Sometimes, most times; it's all we have... enjoy the season your in – change is coming.
