Sleeping in Seattle

I have been in Seattle since June 4 and it has rained every day except one. I have not been able to ride a bike because of the rain and every owner has been giving me the run around. After the cool, leisurely life in Guadalajara (except the heat) it has been rough going. I originally went to the Seattle Bible School graduation and met up with Chris the student rep who I contacted by email. He was just starting a new ministry sending Bibles to Africa and other countries, he originally said he would be interested in sending the Bibles to Guadalajara, now it is on "will pray about it" status. "Will pray about it" is Christian talk for it will probably never happen. If I said to him I have 500 Bibles do you want them, he would say yes, but apparently giving might be better than receiving, but receiving is easier that giving.

God has opened an avenue for me with the Chinese churches in Seattle. I am staying at a hostel in Chinatown and I met two Chinese pastors at the SBC graduation. I went to a Baptist Chinese church last Sunday and most likely I will be introducing these pastors. Praise God. It has been a battle the last week, I ran out of money and had to overdraft my account and other assorted problems. I did buy a megaphone and plan on doing some street preaching, God willing. I am not sure why I have been running into this financial difficulty, but I am trusting God to show me what is up.

I am hoping to go to Boston to attend my niece's wedding and spend time with my son. I have been seeking God on this, but my attitude has been tempered because of this financial difficulty. Also, I am kind of tired of being around lukewarm Christians. There is no fire of God in the people I have been meeting, and to suggest to them there is a deeper walk awaiting in the Spirit they are always offended. Praise God, Father give me your patience and love for the brotherhood. Create in me a clean heart Lord, renew a right spirit in me. Jesus is still Lord!
