Life is good. I (Vicki) have been reading Francis Chan's book Forgotten God. Talks much about how we don't really trust the Holy Spirit to work in our lives. Challenges folks to step out and take steps of faith.
Then last evening at church Pastor Greg spoke of similar stuff - how Caleb had a "different" Spirit. One that remembered God's promises; walked by faith; did not become bitter, but did become better; relied on God's promises to overcome fear.
Interesting these both occurred at the same time in our lives. We have been blocked from serving where we wanted to. People have told us we aren't ready, But the Holy Spirit kept nudging us - encouraged us to keep on through the Word, through godly people in our lives, through prayer. We were hurt and confused.
Our God is amazing. Separately Brian and I both came to the same conclusion - we will step out in faith and work with folks who are not "church" people. There are several opportunities - we are praying which step to take - but we will take the steps because we have walked the land - and now we are going to possess it - we will share the pain, the sorrow, the joy we have experienced because God loves us sooooooo much.
We are excited. We have no clue how this is going to work, but we know it will.
God is good.
