It's been a while...

When you are waiting, it really does feel like a while. But, God is continuously working, even in our waiting. One of the things he has done for me is to make me thirst, make me hungry, make me not want to settle for less than Christ and knowing him, his love. I am reminded of a Misty Edwards song..."happy am I to live a hungry life, blessed am I to thirst..."

Circumstances have not changed too much, but I have decided to gradually step back from children's ministry at Shades Valley, to allow me to better focus on prayer. It seems like a shift is taking place, but in God's gentleness, He has been working this for over a year. I told our staff at church just this week and their response was very encouraging.

Now, we are praying for the finances to appear that will make this all possible in our day to day life. I have a peace about it all that I know is from God, because normally I would be freaking out wondering how we will make up for the loss of my pay at Shades Valley. This past Sunday, the sermon was on trusting God, and it really confirmed it all for me. Please, LORD, allow me to continue to rest in this place of obedience You have called me to.

I am excited to be able to focus more on praying with and for our body, and I will try to keep any of you who keep up with us clued in!
