I’m going to school. Multnomah Bible University to be exact. I feel God is calling me to attend and begin learning what a University has to say about Pastoral Ministry. Whether or not I stay and finish 4 years their for a Pastoral Ministry Degree or not is completely up to him. As for now I must say I am very excited. The college has approximately 600 undergrads and 260 postgraduates. I will be living on campus and will continue to work at Next Adventure, God will and schedule willing.
I’m very very excited about this and yet I am nervous at the same time. I don’t have the money figured out. I don’t really know if I want to be a pastor. I don’t know anyone there. I don’t know if I can handle going to school full time and trying to work at Next Adventure as much as possible. I don’t know if I will be able to handle a year at school and work while Annie is all the way across the state. But… BUT… I have faith. Faith that God will provide for me. Provide strength, peace, determination, and the funds to go. Faith that he will grow Annie and my relationship and faith that I have chosen the right path. Faith.
So if you would all join me in prayer it would be amazing. Pray that God will continue to lead me and guide me on this wonderful journey called life. Pray that I will not worry. And, pray that I will grow in faith.
Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”
Matthew 6:25-34
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
P.S. Everytime I go to quote Matthew 6:25-34 I always want to just use part… but I can’t help but be in awe of it all as a passage together. I love it.
