God supplies all

Friends,

My previous blog was about what God has been doing through us in the community, but most of what is going on now is what God is doing in me. I felt like I should share with you some of what God has been doing in my life specifically. I know that this is a long post (well, all of mine are :) ), but I hope you will hear from God through it and be encouraged by it.

During Wick’s ministry time this week it was truly as if God were speaking to my prayers. One specific thing that I had been struggling with was whether or not I truly knew what God’s call was for me. You may remember that near the end of last year I was planning on going to Ireland for the DTS there, but God had told me that he wanted me to stay here. You will also remember I was not too happy about that, but I stopped pursuing Ireland and told them that I was not going to go there.

I then felt like I heard God directing me to this DTS in Atlanta. I was frustrated because I was certain of God telling me to “stay here”, but I didn’t know what here meant. I decided to apply to the Atlanta DTS because I felt that this is where God was leading. I have now learned that the leaders here were not going to do a DTS with just four students, but they felt that God told them to go ahead with it because the outcome would be well worth the cost.

I have continued to pray that God would make it clear that I’m following his calling. I have been here seven weeks, but I still needed to be sure this is where He wanted me. I determined that if He showed me that I had stepped out of His will that I would pack and leave. I knew this was where I was supposed to be though because of how much I have been learning, but doubts constantly were bombarding my mind. Anyways, all this to say during the ministry time God confirmed that I am where I am supposed to be. I had just been praying that God would reconfirm in me that I am in His will and that this is where He wants me. During this week I felt God telling me that this is His will that I am here, but I kept doubting. So God had them say it during the ministry time God used them to tell me it was not my own idea to be here, but His and that He is preparing me for His purpose. It is such a wonderful feeling to know this.

I feel like God had done for me what He did for the woman with the bleeding issue. He called her out, she knew she was healed, but He confirmed to her that she was completely healed and restored. I see that He did this so that when doubts entered she could have proof against those thoughts. So I see that this is what God has done for me. Anyways, it was an amazing time of ministry. I was beginning to doubt the call of God on my life and during this time He just confirmed it over again, though He still didn’t specify. I think that He just wants me to focus on what is at hand right now before He will reveal what is to come.
