Right here I am, before you, running on auto-pilot. The days have been glorious, but at the same time they have turned to bureacracy. I have so much schoolwork to get done but there were pending issues with Seeking His Face that I needed to address. More leadership needed to be set in place. Please won't all you read this pray for my peace. Pray that I seek the Lord in all that I do and do not think with human wisdom.
I love the spark, intensity of the Holy Spirit pouring out like raging rapids on His children below. The wonders in how He has called His ministry body together to love Him and each other. How beautiful it has been the aroma of spiritual growth and encouragement.
But times will grow difficult. The enemy will fight us. And blessed be the Lord that He has orchestrated things so I'm not the leader take care of all things man. He has placed me in charge, but through experiences recent, He is showing me how I need this awesome body of believers help. That is why we have broken up into sections. Please pray all of you for my wisdom in the position the Lord has entrusted to me.
I ask the Lord, Jesus, why have you let me be given this responsibility when I prove so sinful so frequently? Why have you called me out of the miry well? For just last September 16, I realized that my salvation wasn't genuinine. I needed to realize my utter hopelessness in sin and let Christ pay for it.
So the Lord has built up Seeking His Face starting mid-October and here all you are. As the months have passed, I have been going through a learning phase spiritually. I went through quite a dark period for a great deal of the month of November. It crippled my performance in school, my relations with my housemates, and my life.
But once again, God was there to show me that He has not given me more than I can handle. There are many parts to the Body of Christ. We are all imperfect in the flesh, but in the Holy Spirit, any of us can shine the light of Christ when Christ shines through us.
So now I face the pressures of schoolwork, needing to spend time drawing close to the Lord, and trying to pry myself away from the ministry in its time of transition. I mean brothers and sisters, can we trust in the Lord that He will take care of matters if we go to Him and that has more effect than all the worldly wisdom in leadership? Amen!
Pray for me. Pray for Keely. Pray for Kate. Pray for whoever God calls as the future Prayer Leader for Seeking His Face. Pray for each other and most of all, individually SEEK HIS FACE!
I love you. You are my family and my Father in Heaven loves you more!
God Bless!
