holding my hand
today i got the call that the bank was not interested in working with us to resolve the problem. many of you know our problem if not here is a quick bit of history. i invested in a house, the guy managing the property didnt pay the mortgage, i was taken advantage of and lost it all. by the time you read this my house will be foreclosed on. we have been praying for a miracle to get out of the situation. we had a buyer to buy the house but the bank wouldnt work with him to make a quick sale. they drug their feet for a few weeks and now its too late. it all seems so wrong. it is a total mess.
i felt a few weeks ago God saying to me that i would have to walk through this trial. i didnt feel that he was saying he would rescue me from it. i prayed, you prayed but no miracle was in sight. at least not yet. i felt that he was saying that he would get more glory if i walked through this trial. i feel that he will hold my hand through this and my faith will grow stronger. people will see how i handle this and it will grow their faith as well. people everywhere are going through major life crisis. mine is pretty small compared to them. if people can see me live by faith through the hard times it will encourage them. not everyone gets rescued from the trial. you see, i prayed for Gods will not mine. i dont care about anything but his will. my will is flawed. im limited in knowledge and understanding. i actually felt God prepare me for this. it was not my lack of faith, it was me hearing the whispers of the spirit. i know God is going to use this in a powerful way. my credit is ruined, i have lost alot but i am going to trust God. i want my faith to be a testimony. tonight i will sleep fine because i know who watches over me

i wanna thank all of you for praying. i felt the prayer. i think that God heard our prayers. we cant look at the immediate circumstance. we dont know what God will do thru this
for once, even i am speechless.
Well just know that we love you and Auny and you'll definitely stay in my thoughts throughout this trial. I guess even the toughest get cinged by the fire from time to time. If you need anything, call me.
I was the one that sent you the email through your website about selling my family farm. I just wanted to let you know, "He didn't get me out of that either." When I realized I had made a big mess, but I had not signed any final papers, I tried so hard to correct it before it was too late. I prayed...I fasted...I asked for signs that He would change it...I saw other lawyers. Nothing changed it. I learned a lot from that trial. I learned to listen more closely to the Holy Spirit. I learned to trust Him More. I know you have been through the fire a lot with your ministry. My prayer for you Brock, Isaiah 54:17. Blessings...
thank you brock for being just one of the very few people to live by faith and really crave and desire Gods will. you help me daily to remember why we are here. im praying for you and auny always.

Wow Brock.
We will continue to pray for the situation - thanks for being willing to take the high-road and trust in the Lord always, brother!
Brock, no one could ask for a finer son-in-law. God is doing some mighty things. We're still praying because our confidence is in God and God in you. Mother-in-law.
i am encouraged in my current situaion by seeing the resolve that you have in yours...thank you
Peace in the midst of trials is the greatest gift God gives us. We never know what God has in store for the future. Your faith is truly inspirational. Thanks for holding fast and not falling apart. I didn't know who you were until a girl (Paige) was raving about you, then this trial came and I am seeing how you are dealing. I am impressed. God's ways are higher than our ways and He owns the cattle on a thousand hills....I always think of that when I start to get fearful about material things...losing them (I mean even the necessities of life). God owns it all so we never need to fear. As Believers in Him He won't ever let us out of His tender-loving care. He provides.

i'm proud of you and auny.
Hey Brock man, I've almost got down the 1 hand cut, and the card fan and the flourish you do in Hidden Agenda.

card manipulation ( Appearing cards) I really want to learn that one. Pleaseeeeeeeeee

im blown away by your feedback. thanks for standing with us
You and Auny are such a wonderful example to many. Your strength and strong faith through this trial have been such an encouragment to me and Jake through a trial we are going through. It will be exciting to see God's glory shine through it all!

Romans 8:28
As one who has recently been through a trial, I know what a mighty God we serve and He is able to do more than we can ask or imagine. During my trial I was in a study on Genesis and God blessed me by studying Joseph and his suffering and how God used every bit of it to His glory. I have no doubt God will use this in a most awesome way and you and Auny will forever be blessed because you held on to the Lord's hand all the way through. I too was able to sleep soundly every night because my Lord and my God was on watch for me. Stay strong and I am praying for you and Auny. Sherrill
hey brock! wow I am totally blown away by your blog today. It is a really big encouragement to others, and your attitude is great! i think God will really use you Brock, he already has in a lot of ways. I am praying for you and Auny! Press into Jesus!!!
