The Petra Zone

Hey all. I am just here to tell everyone an update on myself and Meagan. First off we had a wonderful time in Nashville for Thanksgiving. Our whole family went there,only a few could not make it. It was a good time for Meagan to get to know my family better,we have not gotten to spend a whole lot of time with them as a whole since we have been married. It was great,now she knows how my family really is.

Next I want to say thanks to all who have been keeping us in your prayers,it has been grately appreciated! I have started working at a call center,not what I usually do,but at least I feel well enough to do that,Praise the Lord! Most of you know what I have been going through. I still have some stones but I can still do this work and at least for now not hurt. I really needed to be with other people I was starting to get really depressed.

If there is anyone here going through a hard time, I just want to tell you to keep your eyes on Jesus, He can make all things better. He is who made us and it can be hard to keep focused on the things that we are here for,when we are sick or going through rough times. I just urge everyone to just keep praying and all will be better. Once again thank you all . Meagan and I love all you Petheads, you are one of a kind.!

Is nice to hear you are ok , remember all problems are temporaly, God never let us in a bad situation without an exit and never let us go through stop we won`t be able to handle.

Hang in there Jonatan we are here for you and we still praying for you , we are glad you got a good job, keep us updated of how you are doing

God has great things for you and Megan next year Jonatan, you guys haven`t gone through all this for nothing, you will give testimony to other people who will be go through the same and you are gonna be a blessing. God is going to restore each you have lost and will give you 7 times more of it...

I'm glad you're doing better. God promises to be there through the rough times, hang on to that. You may not always understand why things happen, but you can trust God.

God has shown me so much mercy I don't deserve - today and this week especially. This afternoon I was reprimanded by a music professor at my college for having not prepared a piano accompanist sooner (for a trombone solo I will perform in a couple of weeks). I felt so bad and absolutely hated the teacher for the harsh words spoken to me, but then later this afternoon, I got an answer to prayer - a piano accompanist has been provided for me. Upon hearing the news, my spirit lifted and I was able to forgive the professor by sending her a kind e-mail.

Now I've learned from this experience to get a piano accompanist ready several months before my end-of-semester performances, instead of the last several weeks.

I'm no longer afraid of the enemy's attacks on my life or my attitude, because every single time in the past I've been knocked by the devil, God gave me victory. Always! No exception! Praise Jesus!

piano accompanist is a guy right? I mean, you needed a partner?

Seichu,

I know what you mean! It's so awesome when we go through all the trials and see God working in and through them!
Sometimes we gotta remember the victories when we go through another trial - and not be like the Israelites who just saw the miracle of the Red Sea and then walking through he desert and griping about stuff......
I still have lots to learn and - keep trusting God!
