I would say that to you at this point. Wherever God puts you (LBA) be all there.

Keep listening to God and He will never fail you...<BR/><BR/>I was 15 when I heard my call from God. That call came during the summer. I think the hardest thing was going back to school, living among my peers. They knew the old me, pre-call me.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure they always saw my call being lived out. I'm not sure they always saw my best! It's tough my brother to be the example you want to be and know you should be. Just don't give up! God has a mighty work to do in you and through you!<BR/><BR/>Be patient. Follow Him. Take up your cross each day!<BR/><BR/>You are in my prayers!M.

Then, you walked up and I asked you... Your response was, "Until April, I had not been where I needed to be in my walk with God." <BR/><BR/>I will never forget that Sunday morning. You walking forward... I didn't have to wonder why.. Neither did your dad, Ryan, Shelley, and etc... You were making public your surrender to God and vocational ministry - not just as a lifestyle missionary.<BR/><BR/>I'm also taken back to a little boy who came inside from being out in the front yard sitting in a tree. We had not gone to worship God at the physical church building that Sunday morning due to my health that day. Your dad was tired and needed to rest. You came in and said, "I just asked Jesus to come into my heart." Right there in the tree... the tree that I years later was able to climb in too. OH, the conversations that took place in that tree with you boys. I remember it making the neighbors all so nervous. It did your dad too.. but shhhhh... He finally got over it. lol I remember/know the impact it had/has on your life watching how people responded to your mom being ill... how they helped our family with basic needs such as toilet paper, and etc... Not to mention all the prayers and food... and hanging out at peeps' homes because your momma wasn't there or was completely bed-ridden. You were seeing God's love in action. <BR/><BR/>Fast forward a couple of years later.... you and Travis had been back in the playroom. Travis had been asking all kinds of questions about Jesus. You were helping him with answers. And that day... that very day - he asked Jesus into his heart. <BR/><BR/>How you still spur your brothers on in their walks with Jesus. And how you challenge the heck out of me even when you don't realize you are. <BR/><BR/>Then thinking about your recent trip... About the man who spoke Japense and Shelley calling you to come and talk with him because you can speak the language some. All those times your dad and I wondering about why you were learning Japenese. lol <BR/><BR/>Your dad and I support you 100%. Why? Because my brother in Christ - there is no doubt you love God first... and therefore others. And we look forward to seeing how God is going to continue to use you in ways we cannot even imagine yet!Cameyghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073793564907704761noreply@blogger.com
