Lets be real. I do more often then not. Its a challenge when you have a HUGE heart for something and can only do very little with it. But I am reminded of what God says "do not grow weary" and it keeps me going. It keeps me at peace knowing all things work together for His good. I am encouraged daily whether that's through the word of God, through a friend, or through a podcast. Staying focused on the heavenly perspective has helped me during this season for sure. We are all called to do big things so keep seeking the Lord and he will show you and show up in a BIG way! Lets not continue to conform to this world and having little dreams but BIG God dreams!
As I'm in the midst of seeing the Big Dream God has given me I am having to stand firm and not allow the enemy to tell me any different. So stand up, speak to the devil ,and tell him he has NO power over your dreams and calling in life. He will come to kill, steal, and destroy but remember God came to give you life and it in abundance!!!!! Love that. I'm excited to hear what each of you feel that your calling is in life. So send me messages and share! I'd love to pray and support you in your God calling.
I want to share a story of a family who are living out their calling right now as I'm typing this. Today I said "see ya later" to a family that I have grown to love and care for on a deep level. Lauren and I were running just back in January or February and she mentioned that they were praying about moving to Russia to work with the orphans.
A background story to the Harrington's is after the entire family went to Russia they met two older children. They began the adoption process: raising money, paper work, visas, and much more. Then the devastating news came over the news for us all. Russia was NO longer allowing international adoption. So this is when they began talking about moving over there. I was extremely excited for them but the selfish part of me was thinking, who will I run with? Who can I just sit on the couch with and just chill? Many selfish questions. But as Lauren and I continued to run and hang out, I was able to hear and see her heart on their call for this season. I loved the excitement they all had about this nation. Its been super neat to walk this journey with them over the past 6-8 months and I'm thankful for it. This family of four are WORLD CHANGERS!!!! I'm excited to skype, read their blogs, and hear updates of all the cool ministry things they are doing!! I love this verse because its exactly what the Harrington's are doing: James: 1:27- Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after Orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. Their heart is to go love on the Orphans of Russia. I'm so excited about seeing all this unfold and what the next two years look like.
Things to ponder:
What is the call of God on your life?
What steps do you need to take in order for this to come to pass?
Are you willing to take that step?
What is holding you back?
I'm preaching to the choir right now and feeling convicted as I write those questions down. So your not alone! Lets rise up friends and live out our calling in life!!!!
