Huge Blessing!

I have to share a story about what an amazing God we serve. Chris got home last night from his first night on the street. He was so excited about his first day, we talked until I thought my eyes were going to fall out of my head. But the coolest thing by far is that his field training officer goes to our church! He has been going here for a couple months. I think he is very young in his faith, so Chris has already been able to share a few thing with him about Christianity. Here Chris thought he was going into the Police force instead of ministry only to find himself ministering. How crazy is God! I'm so excited for this incredible opportunity for Chris. I told him, "He's going to be teaching you how to be a cop and you're going to be teaching him how to be a Christian." It just blows my mind. "Thank you Lord for giving Chris a job that he looks forward to going to and feels confident in his ability to perform!" It truly makes all the difference in the world!

That's Awesome! We said a little prayer for him last night as he was on the job. Glad to see God is already at work and showing Himself faithful and Chris is loving his new job.

God works in funny ways sometimes! I know this won't be the first time Chris will be able to minister to a fellow officer!

sounds like God is using Chris already and I'm so happy! what an encouragement for Chris to see how God is going to give him opportunities to share his faith on his first day on the job! Praise the Lord! i bet Chris was so excited to get home and tell you all about his day that he could hardly contain himself! :)

We are so thankful that Chris has entered into a career that he can provide for his beautiful little family and one that he likes so well. And just to think that God has already, this soon in his job, shown him that He wants to use him for His Glory is just absolutely wonderful!

Now that was MY comment but the following is JAMES' comment:

Chris,
If you have been watching the News lately, ensure that you want to take your Tazer Gun with you....


Ha, James did a "funny".

Love,
Linda and James Williams
