Just Go

"He comes where He commands us to leave. If you stayed home when God told you to go because you were so concerned about your own people there, then you actually robbed them of teaching of Jesus Christ Himself"-Oswald Chambers

The great thing about my Best Friend is that He knows exactly what I need. He knows the exact words to tell me so that I can be at peace regardless of circumstances.

Just go.

But the people of my churches? What about my students? The people that I am ministering to here in the Rockford area? These are the questions that had been going through my mind about moving to Alaska before I read what Oswald Chambers had written.

My professor for my first intensive this semester told us don't think ourselves so significant that He can't do His work through other people. I was reminded of this as I think about this quote. God will move and do mighty things in Rockford.

Without me.

I merely one person, one part of the body of Christ. When he commands me to go elsewhere, I should not worry that part of His Will may not get done without me here. I am significant in the fact that I am made in the image of Christ, but I must also be reminded that I am nothing without Him.

And if He tells me to trust Him in a new journey, I must be obedient to His calling.

I've spent the summer outside of my field of work and while it has been difficult, it has served to reconfirm my passions. I want to serve and love people just as He does for His people. I want to challenge people to grow more in their faith. I hunger to grow more in my own.

I am excited for how this opportunity is going to deepen my relationship with Christ. I want to walk with Him. I want to know Him more.

So with that being said, I am going to take a leap of faith...and just go.
