As I processed a little today with my in-laws’ pastor he asked a question that struck at the heart of what I’ve been wrestling with. It’s a question that doesn’t seem to be all that crazy or out of the realm of possibility and even seems that it would be a next logical step in where God is calling me in ministry.
In the past year I have moved to a part-time position filling one of the IT roles for Campus Crusade for Christ in this region. I am still also working on campus in the DC area (also part-time now). I like both, but I love working on campus. The question that I need to come to grips with is this:
Would I be okay and would I trust God if he called me to fill the IT position full time?
Right now, I am not sure. But I know what the answer needs to be; not because I think God might (or might not), but because I know that I need to have complete trust in His goodness and His trustworthiness.
All of you who are reading this and are the praying type, please keep doing so for my personal retreat this week.
For as much time as I spend on here, you’d think I’d update my own blog pretty often. Wrong.
I’d love to. One of my goals for the year was to post something of substance on here every other day. Didn’t happen. Not even close.
Since August 27th, huh? I mean, “Ride the Snake” doesn’t really do anything to update you on me does it? Other than the fact that I love that sketch.
The semester has started crazy, good and crazygood. It’s also been enormously hard. I’ve been working mostly at American University and have been loving working with the three guys that God has put in my path so far as well as leading a small group discussion on some of the less “fluffy” teachings of Jesus – “Eat my flesh and drink my blood if you want to go to Heaven.” (And that was just the first week.)
We’ve had fall retreat and I’ve been working on websites (hosting and designing). I am still planning on voting for Obama.
I’ve been twittering a ton and perhaps that will help me think of what I should update you on (I just want to point out that I am at 600 “tweets” even)…
That’s a decent bullet-point summary of the last few weeks. I have also been reading Star Wars novels and I am not ashamed. Okay maybe I am a little.
This week I am taking a personal retreat and getting alone with God for 5 days. Me in a house/cabin alone – 5 days. Not a vacation, a retreat. Pray for me that it will go well and that I will hear pretty powerfully from God.
