As usual, so much has happened. Lots of up and downs, challenges, and not forgetting the blessings of God throughout. The Job situation has been interesting and I do very much believe how God led me through it. I have learned so much about myself that I see in the changes that has taken place. Working at the NYC Leadership Center has been tremendous experience, a humbling one with those that I worked with. The providence of God through it has been one that has proven the grace that only which He can give.
As I start a new chapter, not just for the new years but a new direction in life. A new undertaking from now onwards, is something which I am so anxious over. There is a fine line when we cross over from testing God's promises and walking by faith, that line is the line of fear. Crossing over to faith-walking is relinquishing fear and acknowledging hope that He provides.
I am starting seminary studies in mid January. This has been a calling which has scared me a whole lot. Wealth is something far from what I use to see myself having. Being in full-time ministry has been something I have shunned from, living with little as it is and relying on... again... God's providence. Yet, I kind of felt like despite all I see myself unworthy of the calling, He has somehow has prepared me for this journey. I have ideas and concepts and visions and skills and knowledge of the things I want to do and over it all, the triumphing call is leading me into reaching the gospel to the world as my sole purpose for life. So thus begin this new journey.
By no means, and I say it again that I find myself near perfect to fit the role of a pastor or a minister. But I do know that my heart beats for the Truth to be told to the world where lies and falsehood grows like weeds with wheat(Matt 13:24-30; 36-43).
Happy New Year
So happy for you and I really honor the decision you have made. Waiting to hear the stories of Gods work though you. He who has called you is faithful & He will do it(1thes 5:24)
