Well, I am finally headed to Georgia tostart working. The Lord has been faithful and many people have sent
in support and I am in a position to be able to make the move. I will
be headed out there at the end of this week and I will start working
in the logistics department for the World Race on Monday the 28th.
It has been a new challenge, and in
retrospect, a rewarding experience to be waiting upon the Lord the
past weeks for the support to come in. Gordan Lindsey, who founded
Christ for the Nations Institute in Dallas, Texas, once said that in
order to see God’s will accomplished in out lives “we must work as
if we are the only one who can do it, and pray as if God is the only
one who can do it.” This has become somewhat of a slogan of mine
and I can say that I have really been stretched and learned the truth
in this statement over the past couple of weeks.

After working hard getting all the
council I can and doing all that I know to do to cast vision and
raise support for my work, I have had to pray as if there is nothing
that I can do for it and trust that the Lord will do what He knows is
needed and best. This week, I have seen the support come in for the
two trips overseas that I have coming up in June to Africa and August
to India to support my squad in the field, and exactly the three
thousand that I need to be in my account in order to make the initial
move to Gainesville. Though still needing more to come in the next few months, I can move forward knowing the Lord is providing.

The Lord is good and His wisdom andtiming is best. In the three extra weeks or so that it has taken for
this support to come in, I have been in Austin for some events and
conversations that are moving my family, my church, and the Kingdom
forward that I know I was intended to be here for. And the Lord is
growing muscles in me to persevere in prayer and faith in order to
see a vision move forward. Painful and agonizing at times as that can
be, I know that it is very necessary muscle for me to have going
forward into a life of faith driven purpose and it deepens the
intimacy that I desire with the Lord.
The wisdom and truth of James 1 is ever
increasing and apparent in my own walk as I face trials and
tribulations and experience, even stumbling through them imperfectly
at times, the growing of endurance that is ever perfecting my life
and leading me into the abundant life that Jesus promised. My prayer
and hope is that my experience is a testimony to you and that you can
endure more knowing that you are not alone in the march forward for
God’s kingdom, and the stretching and growing to be closer, more
fulfilled, and more alive in your personal relationship with that
same amazing God.
