As I continue to target people as the originals they have
been created to be, I have been developing my future ministry through every
step I take. Every day proceeds the next move I’ve got to make. I’m on the road
to sitting in complete obedience and I know you’re wondering what the heck I am
talking about.
This Kingdom dream started quite a good while ago, back
before I was even on the World Race. It all started at the California based
indie-rock band concert for Rooney (remember that blog?) last year. I was
listening to the music, having a good time and talking to God about how much joy
He was delivering in my relationship with Him. All of the sudden He hit me with
a calling that almost knocked me flat. God said very point-blankly “I want you
to minister to, counsel and mentor actresses and women in Los Angeles”. Um…
What? Could this be true? Could this be possible? I am called not to international
ministry but to people who live in my own country?
This concept seemed so far from what I thought I wanted out
of life until I really started owning up to it. I heard God reveal so much
clarity as this year has gone by, letting me know more and more how I was made
for American ministry. I was made for the individualism that my native culture
provides and values so highly. I have always personally desired to know what
made me different from everyone else and I know God wants me to push people
into finding out exactly what He has made them for. My various spiritual gifts,
my past experiences and my personal testimony could not match to anything else
more perfectly.
I know you may wonder how exactly my personal life will tie
into this calling but I am here to tell you that none of those things really
matter before Christ does. I want to delight in the Lord and the Lord alone. Do
I know the timing of any of this? No. Do I know how it’s all going to piece
together? No. But what I lack in knowing is covered beyond ten-fold in the
faith that He has it all worked out. I do know, however, that my next step is
clear… to keep all of you praying. I will continue to blog and continue to tune
you into our ministry in these last 2 ½ months and you will just have to wait
and listen to what He has to say.
