Not long after this, terrible tornadoes swept across the
nation. As I watched on the news, I felt
the desire growing to be part of a first response team that goes into the
crisis epicenter. Not to be the one
handing out water, but the one giving emotional support, pointing people to
God.
This culminated when during another sermon about
service. My thought was I can be part of
the counseling ministry they want to start, then God whispered bigger. I tried to put Him in a box, but He pushed my
thoughts bigger. Bigger to be part of a
first response. Bigger to be on the
front line on the missionary field.
Bigger!
So, the direction He gave was to enroll in a local Christian
counseling program. This is part of the
life group I wanted to take above, but couldn’t. This fall I will start with level one, then
proceed through all 5 levels over the next few years. This is the first step to equip me for the
work He has laid out.
May the God of peace,
who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our
Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in
us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and
ever. Amen. Hebrews 13:21
It is an answered prayer.
I wanted so long to find the direction He wanted me to go. I would ask, but put all my stipulations on
it...no childcare for K, salary, no summer hours...oh the silly things I
thought! I love how God is leading me to
freedom in Him. It is great that He’s
calling me to this important work for Him.
The gal who often says the wrong thing and has difficulty remember Bible
passages or form coherent sentences sometimes.
God is good!
