Haggai 6:6
Being back in community, surrounded by people who are totally sold out for Christ, doing ministry, and pouring all of our time in to being full of Christ and drawing ever near to Him… This is where I belong! God broke my heart once again this morning… this lifestyle is my calling, this is what I am to do with the rest of my life! My heart breaks as I see people who do not know the fullness of what it means to follow Christ, who don’t know their calling and the marvelous gifts that God has given them. I love watching people come to these revelations, see the things that have been holding them back break off of their lives, and to come into that complete love, joy and peace that we were all meant to receive. The last year at home was great, it was were I was to be at that time, but it is not where I belong. My life is to live for Christ to see the people of the world, of the nations, grow closer to Him than even I have been.
Yesterday our team needed to have all of our van stuff complete. Unfortunetly we didn’t even have a van! God in His humor wanted to make sure that our team is commited to Him and to each other. It would have been so easy for me to go and make all of the arrangements, fully relying on God. This is the environment that I thrive in, I am so excited and passionate about it all… but it was time for God to build the faith that other team members had in God and for us to have faith and trust in each other. And once again God and our team members were faithful! God not only speaks to us, but He speaks so clearly and cares about the littlest things! How awesome. I can not wait for the people that we meet and the people who read these blogs to come to the same revelation of how much God cares for the small things (we wanted a nice big luxury van), the things that we desire, and our faithfulness to obey Him.
It will be amazing to see the different ways that this is verse comes up in the next eleven months, and for the rest of our lives.
