Ray has been approached about helping a new church plant...Ray has prayed and asked a few local Pastors/friends to pray & share wisdom..Ray has felt a peace and said YES...
(and by saying yes to this--by default he says no for now to other things)
I am in shock..this is absolutely crazy (but God is in the crazy business)..I am still trying to catch up to what all has just happened...
So for those of you just getting the news, you're in good company!
Please pray for us as this news, while great,wonderful, humbling, amazing..will also cause pain for us and others..it will unleash, as I am already seeing, tons of warfare...it will add another huge layer to our already crazy life ;)
AND I also know God is in the Kingdom business..it is an honor to be asked to help with a church plant...it has put a smile on my husband's face I haven't seen in a long time..we are 'wanderers' and we seem to just 'Go' where we can be used...we want to see His kingdom advanced and for folks to know about a Love that never fails, a Savior, a God who redeems, and that maybe the glimpses of heaven on earth will give people a Hope that one day all will be set right ....
I have no idea where this next step down the narrow road will take us but I am following my leader and my God and I know that His ways are not mine...that's where faith comes in & I want to recklessly live out all that He has for my family!!
Can you believe that's all I'm gonna type..surely a record!!!
~~~
I crumble at Your kiss and grace
I'm a weakling in the dust
Teach me how to cling to You
With all my life and all my love
Father come to me, hold me up 'cause I can barely stand
My strength is gone and my breath is shot, I can't reach out my hands
But my heart is set on a pilgrimage to heaven's own bright King
So in faltering or victory I will always sing
And on the road to beautiful
My seasons always change
But my life is spent on loving You
To know You in Your power and pain
You're my portion in this life
You're my strength now in my fight
And to You I pledge my heart
In the pain and in the dark I'll love You
I'll love You, I'll love You
I'll love You...
