So long and farewell.

So long and farewell my friends. At the end of this week i am leaving for my new home in Jasper, Alberta. I will not have internet were i am going and if i do it will be at a public access building or a library, so i may peek in here and there but no where even close to the amount of time i spend here now, Perhaps by some miracle i will be able to still engage in conversation here but the out look is grim.

I had have such a good time here at Cf.net, regardless of the vast diversity within. This place definitely get my vote as number one Christian community online.

I am so glad to finally move, I remember praying a while back, God knew exactly where to place me, i have NEVER seen something unfold as great as this opportunity has.

I was working full time with a Christian employer and with the Military while searching for a great place to move. I seen a ad in the back of the paper on accident so i decided to respond. While waiting for an answer i did some research into travel costs, accommodation, transportation etc and i realized there as no way i could afford it. The employer now referred to as MPLJasper called and said that they would announce who was accepted on the 25th of March. Well, the 25th of March passed, and i could care less since i did not have the cash to travel. Then on March 27 i received a call on my Cell at work... It was MPLJasper calling to offer me employment. Now i was in a pickle, i have a great job on the line with no way to get there, lol But wouldn't you know it, i contacted Via Rail and believe it or not there was a short window of a deal available that would allow me to travel across Canada for a mere 370$ after tax. I had 400$ on my Credit Card.

So now i sit here counting down the days with a train ticket in my hands, all packed, but i still live 350km away from the station with NO RIDE, But God came through once again, i am going up with a Youth group to a rally in Halifax,NS for the upcoming weekend. Problem. The train leaves on the 27th this Month, the Youth rally is over on the day of the 26th so i would need a place to stay for 1 night and i have no cash. Word got around and i discovered to my surprise that i had a long lost cousin living 7 minutes away from the train station :clap

So everything is working out like clockwork :lol

Praise God. :pray

I'll still be poking around for the remainder of this week. I'll be sure to post some pics when i get a chance ;)

:salute
 
You have a number of ways to get a hold of me bro, so keep in touch.
 
Maybe i should explain my job :)

MPLJasper is a company that runs a chain of lodges. I am on the maintenance staff. I am also employed with the RCMP as a guard for transfers. The RCMP job is on call while the lodges are full time. The company houses its employees at a subsidized rate, for me its like 300$ a month, heat, lights, furnished etc. Unfortunately there is no internet in the rooms, there is Wi-fi but is weak in the staff rooms and often not available at all. (just imagine every one try to use it at once, lol)

There is a PAS and a library near my home however.

But even if i do miraculously find a way to have a direct hook up or a strong Wi-Fi i will not be able to go on like i do now, i am after all doing 2 jobs ;)

I will be poking about here and there to see how everything is going :eyebrow
 
John, John, John, I'm going to miss you my brother...kind of brings a tear to my eye little brother in Christ. I hope in Christ that HE makes a way of your hearts desire to have better internet service. We serve an awesome God! I pray and claim in the name of Jesus the best for you John. Drop us privately an address so that we may drop you a line via snail mail brother. Sure going to be different without you here. I enjoy the presence of your character, your candid honest awakening views of God's Holy Word in the love of Christ, and fellowshipping here in the name of Jesus. I've learned a few things in the name of the Lord from you brother, continue to bless those around you.

God's speed little brother in Christ......onward Christian Soldier! :salute
