Growth

Well its been a while since I have posted to this blog. I’ve been spending most of my blog time over at www.thebow.wordpress.com. Im not sure if anyone else is reading over there but it has encouraged me just to type posts and read the posts from my good friend Will Meadows. The Lord has been working in an amazing way over the last few weeks. The start of the school year went very well and I could not ask for a better schedule. Most of my assignments are to read scripture, which has been a huge encouragement. I’ve leaned more in the last 4 weeks than at any other time in my life. The only thing I can say is that it is the work of the Spirit. The growth I’ve been experiencing over the last few weeks has not come from a decision made in church or as a result of some great trial. Its nothing more than the Spirit of God answering a prayer that he would just switch something on inside of my heart. I praise Him for his work. My burden for local church ministry has grown and the desire for urban ministry becomes stronger everyday. The thought if global church ministry also excites me. I don’t know where the Lord is leading . . . But I know that He is and that is enough for me for now. I’m called to school at this moment and I have to take that one day at a time, but the prospects for the future are very exciting.
