For the past 6 months I have been asking God, “What do you want me to do after I graduate from the School of Discipleship?”
In a way it feels like Deja Vu- Back when I was 18 and graduating from high school I knew one thing, no 18 year old is at all equip to decide what their whole future is supposed to be. So I asked God a similar question to the one I posed 6 months back “What am I supposed to do with the rest of my life?”
His answer to me was “Wait”
His most recent answer has been a little different “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10) and you know what, just like that first time, I am so at peace with His answer.
That 1st period of waiting lasted 2 years and I honestly don’t know how long this next period of waitng will be, but I know that God is going to use it!
I would so appreciate your prayers

The Climb
By: Miley Cyrus
I can almost see it
That dream I’m dreaming but
There’s a voice inside my head sayin,
You’ll never reach it,
Every step I’m taking,
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking but
I Got to keep trying
Got to keep my head held high
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb
The struggles I’m facing,
The chances I’m taking
Sometimes they knock me down but
No I’m not breaking
The pain I’m knowing
But these are the moments that
I’m going to remember most yeah
Just got to keep going
I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on,
There’s always going to be another mountain
I’m always going to want to make it move
Always going to be an uphill battle,
Sometimes you going to have to lose,
Ain’t about how fast I get there,
Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side
It’s the climb

This is a Song that has really blessed my heart. I thought I would share it with you!
Better Than a Hallelujah
Amy Grant
God loves a lullaby
In a mothers tears in the dead of night
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes
God loves a drunkard’s cry
A soldier’s plea not to let him die
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes
We pour out our misery
God just hears a melody
Beautiful the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Better than a hallelujah
The woman holding on for life
The dying man giving up the fight
Are better than a hallelujah sometimes
Tears of shame for what’s been done
The silence when the words won’t come
Are better than a hallelujah sometimes
We pour out our misery
God just hears a melody
Beautiful the mess we are
the honest cries of breaking hearts
Better than a hallelujah
Better than a church bell ringing
Better than a choir singing out, singing out
We pour out our misery
God just hears a melody
Beautiful the mess we are
the honest cries of breaking hearts
Better than a hallelujah

Today I woke up feeling very discouraged. It seemed as though everything that could go wrong, was going wrong. Not to mention that I hadn’t gotten a ton of restful sleep that night. I got to the office, knowing that this feeling of mine was just an attack of the enemy trying to derail me from all that God is doing in my life and through my life. When I got to my desk, the first thing I did after logging into my outlook, is send an email to my house mates and mentor asking that they pray for me.
Not long after that I got emails back from everyone, and they each were encouraging. Praise God for people that I can go to when I’m hurting, and they can pray for me and help me turn away from my self-centeredness and turn my focus back to God where it belongs. This is how the body of believers is supposed to act. Continually lifting each other up in prayer and not discouraging one another through silly bickering that doesn’t effect eternity at all, but distracts us from fulfilling all that God is calling us to do.
One of the emails I got, encouraged me to make a list of all the things God has been faithful in specifically, and of all the praises I can think of. So that is what I’m going to do next. If you want, you can read them below, but if not, that’s perfectly fine. I’m going to make the list below so that I can always go back to it if I need to and I can also be encouraging to others who might be feeling the same as me today.
– God has given me another day in Him to reach the world for eternity
– God has healed me from all of the wounds of my past
– God is faithfully providing the support that I need so I can come back on staff
– My mom gave me a car for when I’m back on staff
– My brother is growing and maturing in the Lord
– God is watching out for all of my loved ones, a task that I could never do as well as Him.
– God is giving me the opportunity to reach the lost in the way I’ve always dreamed of
– He has faithfully healed me from all of my illnesses.
– He is the ONLY one that knows my thoughts better than myself. Thank goodness.
-He loves ME unconditionally!
There are many more where that came from, but even just focusing on the ones above, I’m feeling so much better. Praise God!
