Wherever He Leads

Romans 10:13-15 NIV
"for 'Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.' How then, can they call on one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent?"

God has called us to "GO". Not because it is what we desire to do, but because in order to be saved, His people must hear! They must learn. They must believe. And they must come to know Him. We are being sent because if no one goes, they may never hear and may never be saved. We may not be perfect and we probably have a lot to learn along the way, but God has given us a heart for His people and we are willing to go wherever he sends us... Wherever he needs us!

Several years ago, if you had asked us to give up our worldly comforts and head overseas to do whatever work is asked of us, we would have been the first to tell you that that was not for us. God had called someone else to do that. Not us! Well... Things change. Hearts change. Minds change...not always willingly at first, but God has a way of working out all things in His time for His purpose!

Over the last few years, we have been on a bit of a journey. The road has been rocky, but the journey has been worth it. We have spent much time in prayer seeking God's direction in our lives. We wanted to know how we could be used to further His Kingdom. What could we do from our comfy couch? What did God tell us? "Get up off of the comfy couch! I want you to be uncomfortable because as long as you are comfortable, you will never be fully willing to go where I need you!"

Things have been uncomfortable, but He has used that uncomfortableness to push us toward seeking His will. When we began to seek His will and not our own, our lives began to change. Little by little, God began to show us direction. He used our talents and our passions to guide us in the right direction. Notice, I said "guide" us. It has taken us two years of searching and following His leading step by step to get to where we are. We had no idea where we would end up, but we kept following and asking "What next God?" And we will keep asking him, "What next?" And following wherever He leads us.

As we are in the last two weeks before heading off to serve Him in another country and to teach, and preach, and care for His people, anticipation is bubbling, nerves are working overtime, and we are extremely overjoyed that God has given us the opportunity to serve Him!
