About Me

Hey there...My name is John Alice and I am happily married to my wife of 11 years Erin. We have five children; Tawna, Austin, Hailey, Isabel, & E-beth. I also happen to be the Pastor of Old Fort Church in the Northern Midwestern part of Ohio. God has done so many things in my life from being a church planter in a YMCA to fostering up to 14 different children in our house. There have been many struggles along the way with infertility, Isabel's Aperts Syndrome, and the challenges of raising five children. However, God has always met me in times of struggle and walked with me through these real life issues.

Answered Prayer

Just an update on a blog entry I made a week or so ago. I was trying to figure out how I was going to make my daughters baton performance and also be at our Easter outreach event. Well God answers prayer and I am thankful for that. It turns out that Tawna has several other competitions in April and in May. So I will not be missing her only performance as I thought I might have. I still will regret not being able to make this one but at least there will be others I can go to. It is my experience that God answers even the smallest prayers if we give them up to Him. I thank Him and praise Him and have not forgotten what He has done.

I think for many of us it is easy to forget that we have prayed for something when things actually pan out. Instead of giving God the glory and recognizing Him for His work we just kind of go on life as usual. How many times are we able to truly identify and lift up those moments where we acknowledge that God did in fact answer us and care for us. I want to encourage us all to keep a better eye out for God's answered work in our lives. I know I am going to keep my eyes open more often. I pray you do the same and have God's loving activity in your life revealed more and more each day. Blessings, Your Dreaming Pastor
