The Blog of Mark (SoftCoder) and Vickie Vejvoda

It was a long journey to get to where I stand today. I  can see there is a long way to go still ahead.

After planning and praying for 1 year, our family has moved from Enderby, BC to rual Prince George, BC. We leave behind some dear friends, friends who we prayed with, and studied God’s Word with, friends who love Jesus. Goodbye Andy and Wanda, Lil, Tim and Brian, John and Heather, Gene and Lori, Michael, Richard, Ken, Bill and your wife, Owen. Each of you spent meaningful time in prayer with us and touched our hearts in a very special way. You prayed out evil influences from our communities, saved broken marriages, softened our own hard hearts and participated in the exercise of eternity. We will miss you and remember you. By God’s Grace we will see you again before eternity.

Some people questioned our move, while others gave encouraging words. Was it the right thing to do? Yes, and only the Lord can see the full fruit. While moving, a lot has been shown to me. Tremendous challenges awaited us, many of which I feel I did not navigate through as Christ would have had me to have done. We moved from our home in Enderby, BC to Lac La Hache for 2 weeks, then on to Salmon Valley (Prince George). Many things went wrong and the logistics were insane. Dealing with utility companies, banks, moving truck rental companies, Notaries, inclement weather… the whole experience left me sitting down and looking at it in mediation. God was showing me myself. Through the trials and tests, my replies and behaviour… it is what I am. The Lord knew it would take a giant two part move for a family of 8 mixing in the real world with real people to show me what He wants to change in me.

The final blow to my self-confidence came while listening to: this

There have been times I have known what it means to really pray… to change history… to intercede and to agonize for things on God’s heart. Lord help me to return to this place of eternal usefulness for the Masters sake.

Amen.
