His Plan....Our Future.

God has been busy. To kick things off, our church's faith based preschool was approved to begin operations by the church at a special called business meeting. After a lot of hard work and prayer, we plan to begin in January 2014--Praise God! I have been honored to be a part of this committee and I am beyond excited to see how God will work through this new program. Second, after much conviction and pull from the Holy Spirit, I surrendered in leading the college age ministry at church. This age group has been near to my heart since my time at college, and the experience with the Lord I had there with amazing people who encouraged me when I was at my lowest. I pray that through this ministry I can encourage other college students that there is more to life than the ways of this world...but a life full of mercy, unfailing love, and hope in Jesus Christ. I think of the three crosses on the hill in Oklahoma daily. How it felt to sit at the feet of the cross, watching children pour their hearts out..kneeling and praying for God to change their lives and heal their past; some of whose parents lived in the casinos instead of at home raising them, those who grew up in homes of neglect and drugs, some of whose family had committed suicide weeks before, or those who pleaded for their parents salvation with tears. At the foot of the cross with people of all ages, gender, and many races praising and seeking the same God. To sit at the foot of the three crosses, and imagine that God would send his one and only Son to die a horrific death for me..for you...for everyone. How can this not change how we live our day to day. He changed my life for the second time that day kneeling at the cross...I pray that I follow as he leads, with full surrender.
