Current Events

Back to the google blog. I can't say that I love it...but it's what I have. Oh well.

There is a song that I find myself singing all day every day. It is "Nothing I Hold On To" by Will Reagan and United Pursuit. I am obsessed. It is beautiful and so relevant to everything going on in my life.

It looks as if I'll be in either Macon or Cordele for the summer. Both being places I would have prayed desperately against going back to or living in awhile back. About two years ago while just telling God that I was open and ready to go wherever He wanted me, it hit me that it could possibly mean Cordele, GA (or any other small town for that matter...they all have the same effect on me). I started sobbing because I was ready for something big. something bold..not some country/ghetto small town with nothing to do. Then I realized that the boldest thing I could do was to obey God. Not to necessarily run off to some non-English speaking country and having to purify my drinking water because that was exactly what I was ready and willing to do. At that time I didn't really feel like God was telling me I would be going back to a small town, just that I needed to let go of anything that would cause me to run from Him telling me to do so if it came up. So I did. It took a lot of anxious prayers and long walks and trips back home, but I really found a place of peace with it.

The past year has been a lot of me praying about what is next. It seemed like I was for sure being led to World Race and that a path had been cleared for it to work out. Well, not so much. With the recent happenings of it not working out I've had some serious talks with God about why? and how? and basically just WHAT IS GOING ON?!?! A lot of what I've heard is just that yes, I'm so incredibly willing to go and serve people who are on the last rope of hope and life..but what about the comfortable, every day people that I work and live around? That I am related to? Where is my ministry in that? Am I still just as willing to further the kingdom if it doesn't involve my idea of adventure? Eh, well honestly I'm not as excited about it. But the truth is EVERYONE needs Jesus. Even the people who live right next door to me at this moment. Conviction.

there will be more to this thought process and of course always an update on what happens....just not right now.

2 Corinthians 4.16-18 amen.
