Welp, it’s just me and Oliver hanging out on the couch together (For those of you who don’t know Oliver, he’s Cassie’s yorkie dog). Today, I have no where to sub, so I’m going to spend the day getting some things done and putting my resume together. On days like today, it’s hard to see what God is up to, but the truth is that He’s got this rockin’ awesome plan to bring himself glory and to draw his people to himself. I still can’t wrap my mind around the fact that I’m a part of this, but only by His grace.
So here’s what’s up with me:
While I was on tour, God put in my heart a desire to see the kids of our nation rise up, love Jesus, and be Godly leaders in every aspect of their lives. I’m not sure if this came about after seeing the Daraja kids transform so quickly when they came to know Christ, but I know it had something to do with it. These kids weren’t just here to sing in a choir in the U.S., they lived the gospel.
Since I’ve been home, this desire has not gone away. In fact, everyday it becomes a little stronger. I’m not exactly sure what this looks like. There’s a tiny tip of the iceberg of a vision He has given that makes me very curious. He keeps showing me that He has given the same vision to others. He’s connecting little details together. It may not look exactly the same to everyone, but the principle of it is the same. I know God is stirring in the hearts of His people to see a change. To see the U.S. and the world raise up a Godly generation of leaders. To get away from materialism and entitlement. For kids to see Jesus for who He really is, and for Him to become the center of their lives. To see kids serving one another.
A leadership program. Godly relationships between kids of different countries and backgrounds. Worship. These are things that I’m praying for and desire to see happen. For right now, I’m just resting in His grace and His goodness. He is so good, all the time. And we are completely unworthy of it all.
Here’s the deal: I can’t do this out of my own strength. I know that. Are you kidding?! I’m constantly asking, “Lord, how? HOW? How do I lead your people? Your kiddos? Where will every resource come from?” It will be by the overwhelming grace of Jesus that He does this thing. No matter how He shapes the vision, we will see that He is faithful and that His Spirit has guided us. For now, I’m subbing in schools in the area.
“And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.” Luke 1:45
What you can pray for:
Wisdom. That we listen to His voice. Orphans. Daraja-past present future. King’s Ranch in Jonesboro. Everyone who is being led to lead and raise up leaders from our youth.
Thanks for the prayers!
