I want to apologize for the delay in getting this blog post out. We are rolling out more than seventeen summer trip applications for all four of our campuses! All in the midst of training and launching our Haiti Trip. We are sending fifteen kids from three different colleges to Neply, Haiti this January. A majority of the work will be at a foster and adoption care agency called myLIFEspeaks. Within all of these trips we have to potential to send close to 400 people to serve the Kingdom globally!
Part of my job is to help these people process what God reveals to them after these trips. We call this "Next Steps". The For the Nations department breaks down the response to the Gospel in three categories: Going, Sending, and Mobilizing. Each one of these isn't that black and white and the range of each can vary, but generally we try and help our partners listen to where the Spirit is provoking them. Personally, I feel provoked into equipping, teaching and mobilizing people to the nations. For others, a response could be advocating and supporting a goer; others might feel the call to the field. No matter where the Lord moves them the Kingdom is being advanced and God is getting all the Glory. He truly is amazing and I'm excited to continue to share this journey with you all. In our seminary training we have finished our first quarter. Right now, the training has been the best part of my job. My affections for Christ are growing more than ever. With that growth however, comes the ever more relevant realizations: I NEED Jesus. Every day. Every minute. Every hour. I struggle with my singleness daily. The struggle, at its core, is my inability to relinquish control of areas of my life to God; specifically my relationship status....or lack there of. I desire a wife; which is Biblical. I am having a hard time pursuing Him singularly and trusting He has a plan for my dating. I have to pursue Godly women, but my pursuit doesn't change my identity. I am an adopted child of God. My relationship status doesn't change my need for Christ or my response to the Gospel. I do a terrible job of trusting Him in this and it has consumed much of my repentance and prayer time. A song that is helping me worship and glorify Him through my struggle is Citizens & Saints "Oh God", "When I feel alone, Oh God you're near. At my lowest, Oh God You're near. Oh God you never leave my side." HERE is the link to the lyrical music video.
