Courage!
Doing what Jesus directs us to do takes courage! In recent days I have taken a step of faith that has been challenging. In June, 2006 I have made a move to Indiana. Through prayer, God has led me and my family to take a risk for His Glory.Cindi has taken a position at Taylor University while I waited for God to show me what He wants me to do. For two months I have remained in prayer and trepidation about what God wants me to do. I have discovered that it is not so much what He wanted me to DO but what He wanted me to BE. Interesting enough, God has been teaching me this for nearly two years! (Long story but basically His leadership in my life has taught me dependence and truth.)
Most recently I have accepted a position at Indiana Wesleyan University as Alumni Director. How awesome God is! God needed to develop a missing lesson in my life. This lesson is that is is more important to follow God than to DO my own thing! Not that I chose poorly in my life but that I must chose His more perfect way!
Some lessons are hard to learn.
