I have done a lot of thinking these past few weeks.
Thinking through a lot of what ifs.
*Wilmington
What if I go to Vermont? What if I don’t go to Vermont? What if because I am pale and skinny I freeze to death in Vermont?
I run all these scenarios through my head but always come back to the realization that it will be ok. Scripture constantly tells me so. Matthew 6:33 “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” All these things being our needs, what we eat, or drink, or what we will wear.
Romans 8:28 “We know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called to His purpose.”
So, i find myself to be comforted. Now it is looking for encouragement to go.
Luke 9:23-26 provides that. “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it. For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself?”
Going to Vermont means denying myself. I don’t want to leave my family and friends, I don’t want to leave my comfort here, my life. I have felt fear through all of this. Still, I have come to fear something far greater then the fear of leaving. I am more afraid to stay then to go. If God is sending me to Vermont, If God wants me in Vermont then I better get my behind to Vermont. To reject this opportunity and say, “No thanks God, not this time.” Scares the poop out of me. I have no desire to reject what God has for my life.
When I see clearly God’s leading I am fully encouraged and ready to go. Free from fear and full of excitement.
Going will be hard and I would like you to partner with me on this journey. There are only three ways I think this partnership can work. The first is easy.
1.) Pray for Vermont, Wilmington, Valley Town, the families going, and for me! Do not underestimate prayer, it is powerful. Pray for us. There is nothing more encouraging then knowing that support.
2.) I am going fully relying on God providing. I do not have a job or a lot of money to tithe me over. So, if you wish to help provide for the moving process and, hopefully short, jobless season then I will not deny you that opportunity.
If you wish to partner with me in this I would be beyond grateful. This blog is the only way I will ask for support. If you wish to help then send any support to 878 Shannon Rd Sw Loganville Ga 30052. This support will also reserve you a bed if you wish to visit, which all of you will I know.
3.) The third and best way to partner with me is for you to come. Get off your bums, stop doing whatever you are doing and move to Vermont with me. You know you want to. Stop denying yourself.
Also the exact moving date is not set yet. When I know you will know.
