MULLINS BTTBM JANUARY 2020 UPDATE

Here at the end of January 2020 I am reflecting some more on 2019 as I look ahead to the remainder of 2020. I have pasted in below (in italics) a Facebook Post by Wanda that is a good summary of 2019 for us. I like how she worded my moving on as pastor of Fellowship by stating that there were “Ministry changes for Bobby and me that we were not expecting” which was a diplomatic way to put it!

I have been full-time in the ministry for almost 40 years and Wanda and I have never had an easy year. We have never had much breathing room financially even when I had reached a level at Central Baptist Church in Oak Ridge where I received a six figure income. Since leaving there in November 2008 and then coming to Fellowship in 2012 up to now, we have lived on less than half the income we were making in 2008. But, the Lord has seen us through and good friends like you have been a part of providing for us and helping us through. There has been some kind “drama” going on most of the time, not of our making (even though we got the blame for it sometimes), at every church where I have served. But, as just a handful of people could disrupt the peace in the church they could not destroy the presence of the Lord in those churches. It is friends like you who have been the bright spots for us and given us the motivation to keep on keeping on for Jesus. THANK YOU!

2019 has been a year of Victories and Challenges that I pray Jehovah God receives all the Glory. As the mountain background visually shows peaks and valleys – we have walked the winding road. Thank you to all our Prayer Warriors for walking through the road of 6 Heart Bypasses that Bobby journeyed through, Brandon’s hospital stay from dehydration, Ella’s broken wrist, Joey’s continuous back pain, Melody and Megan working towards their Degrees while working full time, Mallory and Rocky walking through 9 months of pregnancy to give us Browder Blue and big sister, Raelyn adores her Brother and Brantley staying the course about to turn 9 years old. Ministry changes for Bobby and me that we were not expecting but God Our Father knew and He has been Omnipresent.

I have used the word “through” as Jehovah God allowed all of my family to continue through His tunnel to the other side. 2019 is almost history and 2020 – here we come! Thank you to each one who prayed with us and for us. God Bless your love ones as well and may the favor of God rest upon you in 2020. Let us all join together to pray for America as it is a crucial time. Our grandchildren need us to pray for it’s their future and our responsibility. I am humbly grateful to God my Father and pray for His leadership as we walk through 2020 hand to hand and heart to heart. Love to each one of you!
