It's been a prayerful decision......we've tried to listen and know that ultimately it's us making a decision and wanting to DO things later.
We both have this dream of a toy hauler...motorcycle in the back, small living area in the front and storage for bins. Bins filled w/supplies to help people and for us to go from natural crisis to natural crisis and help....Dan loving the physical labor of rebuilding and me, taking care of kids of Moms and then in the evenings...maybe have DG studies with verses around recovery...maybe
I don't know it's a dream....is it a God given dream??.....dreams are risky and scary.... And I can work the next 4 years selling stuff so we can do it...it's a dream, maybe too big I don't know...it's a dream...dreams you keep quiet, to yourself..prayerfully pursue?? I don't know this is scary.
Acts always gives me chills, even before knowing Christ I read about this time and was blown away by what God kept doing in and through people....wishing hoping to be a part of something like that. I have been at Shoal Creek there's been a movement of Your Spirit...i have more often than not been an unknowing hindrance to people experiencing You because I thought it had to look a certain way and You simply, unalterably continue to bring people to a knowledge..a relationship w/Christ......it's been beautiful to watch and be a part of....Praising You God for all that you do in churches all over in spite of and through broken people....
Acts 3: 17-18"And now, friends, I know you had no idea what you were doing when you killed Jesus, and neither did your leaders. But God, who through the preaching of all the prophets had said all along that his Messiah would be killed, knew exactly what you were doing and used it to fulfill his plans.
19-23"Now it's time to change your ways! Turn to face God so he can wipe away your sins, pour out showers of blessing to refresh you, and send you the Messiah he prepared for you, namely, Jesus. For the time being he must remain out of sight in heaven until everything is restored to order again just the way God, through the preaching of his holy prophets of old, said it would be. Moses, for instance, said, 'Your God will raise up for you a prophet just like me from your family. Listen to every word he speaks to you. Every last living soul who refuses to listen to that prophet will be wiped out from the people.'
24-26"All the prophets from Samuel on down said the same thing, said most emphatically that these days would come. These prophets, along with the covenant God made with your ancestors, are your family tree. God's covenant-word to Abraham provides the text: 'By your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.' But you are first in line: God, having raised up his Son, sent him to bless you as you turn, one by one, from your evil ways."
