Divine Pause

Bro. Greg Godwin (who by the way has a cool name God --win. Get it. God always Wins.) preached at Idaho campmeeting about being in a divine pause. That was the service that impacted me the most because Joel and I have entered into a divine pause.
As most of you know in April we were appointed Home Missions to Seattle. Well, this summer we were presented with another opportunity. It would be a very exciting endeavor, provided it becomes the Lord's will. Therein lies the challenge, finding God's will. By nature, I am a planner and I have to map out my day, week, month to survive. Kind of funny since I'm an evangelist wife. So to not know what is going to happen in our ministry has tested me to the limits. I am confident that God's will is going to be done. Every day when I wake I have to surrender both situations and my will to HIM. I don't know any other way to make it through this pause.
We are in Madison, MS at the Apostolic Conference. It is a conference especially for Home Missionaries. The church is doing a fabulous job of taking care of us. They provide everything from airfare to food and even clothes. (Thank God cause we came here naked!! LOL!!) Everything has been first class.
The men and women I have met this week our my heroes. I know what they go through. Joel and I have preached for many Home Missionaries even some of the ones who are here. These people give their lives to start a work for God. They literly give blood, sweat, and tears to see a church raised up. It is a high honor to be among these men and women of God.
We are here not only to gain spiritual insite about the work of God, but also to hear from God. The past few weeks has made us step back and reevaluate our life. We are desperate to know what step to take next whatever it may be.
Please pray for us. Although this is a stressful time we really our excited about what God has in store. Which ever way God leads we know that great things are going to happen. God has spoken promises to us and we know that His word will not return void unto Him.
