This initiative was not even on my radar, but then G-D. After being invited to apply I am excited to see a group of Brothers willing to fill the gap that is in this world. I would be honored to be a part of this initiative.
I am twice retired, military and fire department, as is my Wife. We are honored parents/grandparents to 3 wonderful children and 3 incredible grandchildren. Our road has been hard but incredible, and continues to be. I am thankful every day for the family HE has given me.
No experience with Zoweh itself. I have been around John Eldridge’s teachings and the “Waterboyz for Jesus” here in Frederick Md..
I have known about Jesus most of my life. My first connection with Him came at a low point in my life/marriage. I found, was bestowed, a copy of “Wild at Heart” and I was in!
Just this last weekend at a “Waterboyz Expedition” I was able to share my story. The impact to these Brothers, and Me, from my sharing turned into an experience beyond what I thought possible.
Wounds are something we can carry in a healed state, like the scars that elicit conversation around a campfire. Wounds can also be unhealthy/unhealed, like fatherless trauma carried on through our manhood.
Vows are commitments made between individuals. We had vows in the military and fire service to watch each others back. I of course had my marriage vows in my covenant with my Wife.
Agreements can be confused with vows, but are usually unhealthy exchanges made with evil principalities. We tend to make agreements throughout our life that keep us in a wounded state.
I was 15 1/2 when one of my largest woundings occurred. After my parents had divorced. My Father, whom I was living with at the time, went to jail and my Mother abandoned me. “I was on my own”, so I believed.
In my experience spiritual warfare has been small subtle campaigns, other than the aforementioned event. They may have been small agreements made to get through a situation, or background whispers attacking my ego/pride. The worst attacks have come through my role as Husband. I have no delusions as my walk continues that the attacks will become more frequent and stronger, which is why this initiative is so very important.
My FATHER and I talk every day, one significant conversation occurred this morning. I am just recently a 5 year survivor of throat cancer. Through my treatments my ability to taste was lost. One of my most cherished things was the robust taste of my morning coffee, that first cup. After being asked to become a part of this initiative I stated “let me pray on this”. I prayed my whole drive home and before I lay down for sleep. I got up early this morning, my time with G-D, and sat down to listen while enjoying the smell of my coffee. Imagine my utter shock when I tasted my first sip of that coffee. Five years of just being satisfied with the smell, but G-D!! I got my answer.
I have studied, and have been mentored, to become Chaplain. My time in expedition has been filled with both listening and engaging. Most important has been my time as “Pops” and “PopPop” with my Sons and grandsons.
