When Peter and Andrew and the other ten were called by Jesus to come and follow him, surely they never would have dreamed what would come about. All the healing of the sick and restoration of the blind and the thousands fed with a few loaves and fishes and the evil spirits cast out and walking on water. Miracle after miracle was performed before their eyes.
When you follow Jesus, you never know what will come of it. It is one step of faith after another. It is an endless chasing of the wild goose.
As God has lead me to writing, he has been leading me to other adventures out of my comfort zone with it. Things like taking a trip to the other side of the states by myself to attend a writing conference and fundraising to offset the cost.
Oceans by Hillsong could be my anthem and the fix to the awkward + nervousness + excitement that the whole thing is entailing Have a listen.
Spirit lead me where my trust is without
borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
In October, a group of God loving
ladies will gather to connect and encourage one another in writing about Jesus
at the Allume conference. A trip
that will be roughly cost $1500 and be an opportunity for God to remind me that
his ways are not mine and to fully trust him.
I have never packed my bags to
travel alone. I have never done a solo flight. I have never been to the East
Coast. I have never spent that much on a trip for myself, or my family. And
honestly, I would never want to. But God keeps nudging and prodding and saying go. So this is the start
of the adventure to follow him.
And in a fashion only God would
do, I am fundraising to offset the cost via mugs, little cups of truth. I
know, God is so funny.
A small shop is set up here, if you are interested in
purchasing one. If you are local, I can deliver, just let
me know. And if you could say a prayer
for me, I would appreciate it more than you know.
Praying that if you feel God
leading you to do something that you would jump in with both feet and get ready
to get messy and dig and work and learn more than you would have imagined.
Praying your comfort zones would continue to fall and humbleness would soak
through. Praying that your faith would be made stronger and that you would see
the miracles along the way and point others towards Jesus.
Here's to guiding and adventure.
