The Little Shepherd Boy

A lot of changes. It is crazy how quickly those changes can come. Throughout this entire process, Puck and I have been trying our best to seek God's will through His word and through the advice of those we respect most. Now that this future is becoming more clear, it is both so exciting and extremely scary. I have no doubt that God will do some amazing things once we get there. It's all of the hoops that we still have to jump through until we reach that point. Today I read a verse in Matthew that said " Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." This verse has helped me with this whole situation; I am such a worrier! But making this decision, minus a few things, was not a difficult one to make once we finally reached the point of PEACE. God has truly blessed us where we are, and we have not missed that. However, we both are so ready to be fully used to reveal God's glory to those who do not know Him. This was truly revealed to me at the UNLEASH conference in Anderson, SC. Being surrounded by leaders in the ministry who were seeking after God's will and ready to find ways to better their churches really inspired me. Perry Noble also said so many things that truly spoke to me, such as "Listen to God, do what He says." Plain and simple. We make things so hard! The Christian way of life is not about making everything easy. Our lives should be lives that reflect God's glory, not our own. This is where we mess up. We are a self-conceited nation ... world! This past week, I have already lost sight of that. Satan knows what Puck and I have in mind, what God has in mind for us. He knows that we are about to embark on a spiritual war for Christ, and he is gearing up. That is one other thing Perry said ... Satan attacks the leader. This is a very real thing. There are so many parts to this move that I know Puck and I cannot do on our own; but I just have to remember that is why we are doing it. Because God uses the little shepherd boys. Not the noble kings. And he sometimes takes you out of comfortable situations and puts you in situations of desperation. Keeping our eyes on God and our feet on the ground; I don't have it all figured out, but that is what I have learned so far. Who would think that we would be doing this? Just shows you that no matter how much we plan ... you never know what God has in store.
