Pray

Had one of those mountain-top prayer experiences today.

I spent some time reading this morning:

Exodus-
15:12
So the people grumbled against Moses, saying, “What are we to drink?”
17:2-3
So they quarreled with Moses and said, “Give us water to drink.”
Moses replied, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you put the Lord to the test?”
 But the people were thirsty for water there, and they grumbled against Moses. They said, “Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?”

Genesis 15:6
Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness.

I have been questioning, grumbling, and doubting heavily on a regular basis. While reading and praying today I am excited to say that a moment of "poor in spirit," and "mourning," (Matt 5:1-2) broke through to my heart. Humbly accepting the way things are progressing and acknowledge my shameful thoughts and lack of faith has really been a blessing. I hope to continue on THIS path.

It has been put on our hearts to make some unprecedented moves in our life. We do not know if a job will be there yet, where we will live, or any details at all; but we have a plan. Prayerfully we will set out and stay with family and friends while "finding" the things we need along the way. Perhaps I should say "be provided." Matthew 6 says to seek his Kingdom and righteousness and the rest will be provided.

If you are reading this, please pray for our plan and the road ahead. We still need to decide on some details, as well as put our trust in God laying some early groundwork for us to make things move ahead.

Tri Cities will see the evidence of God's grace one way or another. We hope to be a part of it and will continue to "Go." In our "Going," we will see God do amazing things where ever that may be...

I appreciate your heart Ian. I can't wait until we are physically together. I know that your situation requires so much faith and it could be a daunting undertaking to uproot again. However, I know that the faith of you and your family will reap an incredible harvest.
